Good Informatics / Bad Ukulele. As CMIO at UCHealth - Colorado, I post about my failures (and occasional successes) in the field of healthcare informatics. I also play ukulele informatics parody songs. Opinions are my own.
A High Schooler: AI is demolishing my education (Atlantic), and my reaction about AI in healthcare

Surprising way to boost your attention span (NYTimes)
More research on how “nature therapy” adds up to improved attention span and working memory and restoration for our depleted brains from work and school. Walking 2.8 miles in an arboretum vs walking in a city. I wonder if this restoration applies to cycling in wooded paths. Asking for a friend.

Passwords are so last year. Passkeys! (Wired.com)

I have joined the passkey (quiet) revolution. Far superior even to long passwords, and better and faster than 2 factor and multifactor authentication. I'm all for faster and easier security for my accounts.

Our smart colleagues at UCHealth Biobank delivered the 1 millionth pharmacogenomic result into our Epic EHR. In separate news, the Biobank also delivered our 1000th pathogenic variant (like BRCA).

Grok-board: the 2025 update (instantly empathize and understand the EHR)

As tech accelerates, I wonder what has AI done for me lately? Sure it writes my notes, but does it really help me “grok” this patient? Here is my updated Grok-board design take for EHR’s.

I feel this, having observed private equity swoop in, purchase a medical practice, extract $, and leave it in ruins. Wired.com reporting is spot on, again.
