#healhealthcare

Dr. Taylor Nichols comes back to fill us in on first hand experience of dealing with a global pandemic and the ever-changing landscape of policy that has occurred due to it. The main take away? Science is always changing and we need to remember that we can, and should, update our policies in line with the most tried and true information we have available. We should also continue to question in a logical and testable way to find the answer. Thanks again to Dr. Nichols for joining us and sharing your experience, as well as all the hard work and sacrifice that you and all of your global healthcare colleagues put in over the past year.

Dr. Taylor Nichols is an Emergency Medicine doctor out of San Francisco. Not only a self-proclaimed policy enthusiast, but years of experience plus fellowship training in health policy renders him a go-to guest. In the first part of our talk, we dive in to the US health system to discuss (on the surface) its complexities. There’s a lot to uncover, but Dr. Nichols speaks with excellent clarity. He also recommends Daniel E. Dawes book, The Political Determinants of Health: https://jhupbooks.press.jhu.edu/title/political-determinants-health.

Grahame Grieve is leading the 3rd generation of healthcare interoperability standards with his team on the FHIR project. This set of standards looks to modernize and improve the transmission of healthcare data to make it easier for people to shift records and obtain them through various platforms. Grahame and I discuss why the standard was necessary, what they hope to achieve, and why it had to be Open Source.
While the base of this standard is technical, it is something that more people should have an understanding of, especially as data and healthcare information become more available and centers of discussion.
