Sunil, Thanks for your LI reply:

Hi Scott - Thank you for the feedback (and the connect request)!  I think EMR/EHR is the ultimate control point.  Today most (85+%) of Healthcare providers use two EHR providers - Cerner & EPIC.  They have a massive nerve center and are working on how best to ensure maximum value derivation for the entire food chain.  That said, the newer providers and the notion of a AI driven EMR/EHR is a fascinating disruption to watch - I do think it is a longer term plan relative to some of the others as providers are going to be very very slow to adopt......Sunil

Further thoughts?
Thanks, Sunil, And where might Google / Stanford / Duke University's Project Baseline (with Project ECHO) fit into this ecosystem (re EPIC et al.), I wonder - and potentially in all ~200 countries' official languages, and even for tele-robotic surgery eg http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2019/11/kangaroo-apple-building-from-alcoholism.html ?

Great talk, Sunil, I appreciate particularly your skillful use of language with regards to the various corporations you mentioned.

Thanks so much for your excellent ISSIP hosting, Yassi!
I'm hoping, Jim, that CC-4 MIT OCW-centric wiki World University and School will matriculate our 2nd undergraduate class online around September 1, 2020 for free-to-students' Bachelor degrees, as we license with CA's BPPE and 'accredit' concurrently with WASC senior. This would occur on the emerging WUaS Open edX platform, via MOOCit France, a service partner with Open edX. Am in communication with CEO Anant Agarwar (and MIT Prof of EECS) about all of this as well. More about WUaS planning here - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/search/label/global%20university.

The Academic Press at World University and School / WUaS Corporation is a parallel for profit general stock company in CA legal entity (to the non-profit 501 c 3 legal entity of World Univ & Sch, and a non-profit legal entity in CA too). The WUaS Educational Services' Store is newly carrying Lego Robotics "officially" - http://worlduniversityandschool.org/AcademicPress.html - and seeks to be in all ~200 countries and their official / main languages!

Looking forward to communicating further, Sunil!

Best, Scott

HI Scott - To respond to your question below…….

It is exciting to see new developments in the EMR/EHR, robotic surgery, etc. however the challenge for most will be adoption by the US healthcare system which (mostly for the right reasons) is very risk averse.  On the EMR/EHR front, EPIC/Cerner are deeply embedded into their provider network and the cost/risk of change is massive - not unlike large Enterprise ERP software.

As for other “delivery innovations” - robotic surgery, IoT tracking, etc.. the challenge is reimbursements by the insurance companies - and Medicare.    Candidly, this is a financial hairball with competing motivations for various entities in the chain - but is ripe for change.  As an example, immediately after CMS approved Telemedicine reimbursements as a response to COVID, the market exploded - and as I mentioned yesterday, the proverbial “genie” is out of the bottle and will never go back.

We are also seeing some early examples of disruptive innovation in the business models (ro.co, goodrx.com, etc) however we have a ways to go unfortunately.  Plethy - the company I mentioned yesterday is also starting to make some inroads.  The good news is that the annual US healthcare spend is ~$4.5T so any little movement is real impact.  Exciting times for sure……

..Sunil

Sunil, All, 

Thanks and fascinating again. And thanks so much for replying to my email and question(s). The US healthcare system may be risk averse, yes, but also are technologies' adopters, and outcomes' oriented too. It is also very scientific and creative / generative of new approaches to medicine (and now especially with genetics - https://twitter.com/hashtag/RealisticVirtualEarthForGenetics?src=hashtag_click ).

A single realistic virtual earth for surgery, actual<>virtual, physical<>digital (and even on a Lego Robotics' scale to begin)


Is this the beginning of a Lego surgical arm - https://twitter.com/WUaSPress/status/1270915084068417536?s=20 ?

... and all of this for IoT too (& re mining space regarding a realistic virtual universe? .... https://twitter.com/hashtag/RealisticVirtualUniverse?src=hashtag_click)

Dear Sunil, 

Appreciating your 'co-creating new value' innovation focus here, re service-value, 

innovation,
customer,
long term sustainability

and regarding companies that have been disruptively successful during Covid-19. 

Am curious about collaborative potentials between the WUaS Educational Hospital Technologies' Distribution Center - for tele-robotics and related online hospitals - in all ~200 countries and their official languages - and TeleDoc for example. 

Could this be combinable re the WUaS Medical Schools beginning online first in English in 4 years (long-term sustainably-wise) ... and a single cryptocurrency in most of ~200 countries, their official languages, and backed by most of ~200 countries' central banks? Let's stay in touch about this. 

Am curious also about the Covid-19 genetic testing into the Google Apple coronavirus App into avatar bot electronic medical records - https://twitter.com/WUaSPress/status/1252655553903394816?s=20 - (and for telerobotic surgery too - https://twitter.com/hashtag/AvatarBotElectronicMedicalRecords?src=hashtag_click) .. for all 7.5 billion people (re preparing for the next major epidemic) ... and re UBI experiments (regarding the 'universal' word).

Thomas Hardy's "Far from the Madding Crowd" (1874)


Scott MacLeod sgkmacleod@gmail.com

Tue, Aug 4, 2:44 PM (2 days ago)
to Janie, David
Hi Ma, David,

No mention of the role of the 'city' or urbanization in the title "Far from the Madding Crowd" - but I wonder, - and even possibly regarding London, given the 'idyllic' setting of the novel in rural SW England in the 1870s (per Wikipedia's first sentences - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Far_from_the_Madding_Crowd). What do you think? Do you recall any references to "the city" in other of Hardy's works, by any chance? :)  What is the role of the 'madding' crowds' relationship to the city? (Britain with industrialization 'does' - or creates - the 'city' like no other country in the world, because their 1st industrial revolution begins in the 1700s, whereas the 2nd industrial revolution begins in the late 1800s! ... some of which I teach about in "Society and Information Technology" even:)

Am a fan of Henry Fielding (eg his "Tom Jones"), but may check out again Hardy! 

Love, 
Scott


Title[edit]

Hardy took the title from Thomas Gray's poem "Elegy Written in a Country Churchyard" (1751):
Far from the madding crowd's ignoble strife
Their sober wishes never learn'd to stray;
Along the cool sequester'd vale of life
They kept the noiseless tenor of their way.
"Madding" here means "frenzied".[5], or, actually, "maddening".
Lucasta Miller points out that the title is an ironic literary joke, as Gray is idealising noiseless and sequestered calm, whereas Hardy "disrupts the idyll, and not just by introducing the sound and fury of an extreme plot ... he is out to subvert his readers' complacency".[6]

Hi Janie and David,

Read the first chapter - http://www.gutenberg.org/files/107/107-h/107-h.htm - and enjoyed the glimpse into life in the 1870s in SW English. Searched on 'London' and found 3 references, searched on the word 'city' and found 4 hits - thanks to digital technologies ... and my inquiries in the role of urbanization and the city, in the British novel, may be dissolving here (what would be the best British novel of Victorian times to explore the 'city' the way I'm interested in, somehow sociologically ... "Tale of Two Cities"? will keep looking) ... Am seeking what's remarkable about the book, that is, what is particularly mind-expanding, or excellent ... 

Found a full length movie of it from 1967 (which Wikipedia - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Far_from_the_Madding_Crowd - said was of note) - 
Far From The Madding Crowd 1967 | HD | Thomas Hardy's Classic Novel

Interesting 1870s' take on the role of law here - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Far_from_the_Madding_Crowd - in a 'plos synopsis' toward the end of the book. And the story ends with a marriage - far from the Madding Crowd, but with some madness 'in the midst'! 

"Far from the Madding Crowd" book group, become a film group, via email now closed? :) Have either of you read this or other of Thomas Hardy's books? What makes Victorian novels 'rock' for you? :)

THE HISTORY OF TOM JONES, A FOUNDLING
By Henry Fielding
It's very very funny, and considered the first great English novel - and about 100 years before "Far from the Madding Crowd." 

How best also to extrapolate from this to the 'funny'? :))) New book group? :))

Fondly, 

Scott

THE HISTORY OF TOM JONES, A FOUNDLING By Henry Fielding (1749)


Scott MacLeod sgkmacleod@gmail.com

to Janie, David
So comic it'll bring tears of mirth to your eyes?

Do either of you know
THE HISTORY OF TOM JONES, A FOUNDLING (1749)
By Henry Fielding - 

It's so very funny, and is considered the first great English novel - and about 100 years before "Far from the Madding Crowd." 

If Henry Fielding sets the 'program' in motion (the English novel), what does this entail, I wonder? And what's the 'comic program' about - engaging literary criticism metaphors adapted from the Information Technology age, and way beyond the significance of the 'city' in the Victorian novel - re psychology (Madding Crowd:) ? 

How best also to extrapolate from "Tom Jones" to the 'comic' - in life, our lives even? :))) New book group is begun :))

Fondly, 

Scott

Year 1749 - https://www.gutenberg.org/files/6593/6593-h/6593-h.htm ~ :)  Pen names: "Captain Hercules Vinegar", "H. Scriblerus Secundus" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry_Fielding :)

3rd paragraph from end in letter introduction - https://www.gutenberg.org/files/6593/6593-h/6593-h.htm - 
"For these purposes I have employed all the wit and humour of which I am master in the following history; wherein I have endeavoured to laugh mankind out of their favourite follies and vices. How far I have succeeded in this good attempt, I shall submit to the candid reader, with only two requests: First, that he will not expect to find perfection in this work; and Secondly, that he will excuse some parts of it, if they fall short of that little merit which I hope may appear in others."

I was half thinking I might see mirth in his face of the author of but not in these drawings ? Am partial to this painting of him - http://blog.tavbooks.com/?p=155 - ... 

" ... one of the "three most perfect plots ever planned,""(per Coleridge) - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_History_of_Tom_Jones,_a_Foundling - perfect plot is high praise indeed for a key first British novel, or a 'Bildungsroman' and a 'picaresque novel' ! 

Is Henry Fielding in 'Tom Jones,' writing from his experience? Could be ... 

10 slide presentation 

Fielding was a magistrate, and a satirist, too !
