Episode clarifications from Dr. Handler:

  • Dr. Handler's residency was at George Washington-Georgetown's combined emergency medicine residency program.
  • Dr. Handler's comments are his own and not necessarily representative of his employer or anyone else.
  • The Azyxxi team aimed to get virtually all information into the system and make it readily and usefully available to clinicians who needed it. If they didn't get absolutely everything, they certainly got a lot.
  • Unless explicitly said otherwise, Dr. Handler's comments are not drawn from specific experiences with any current or prior affiliates, but rather from his general observations related to technology in healthcare.
  • Dr. Handler says in response to the Amazon story, "For the record, I also love our local bookstore, and our library too."
  • Dr. Handler notes: "While many healthcare technologies have origins in health systems, the first CPOE reportedly was actually developed by Lockheed Martin, with El Camino Hospital as its partner – an early example of the value of vendors partnering with providers.”
