The document discusses slope and rate of change. It defines slope as the ratio of rise over run, and gives examples of calculating slope from points on a line. It also discusses using slope to find the average rate of change between quantities and solving multi-step problems involving rate of change. Lines can be classified by their slopes as horizontal, vertical, increasing, or decreasing. Parallel and perpendicular lines have specific relationships between their slopes.
The document provides advice for pacing a startup and using venture capital funding effectively. It recommends (1) maximizing productivity early on to gain an advantage over competitors, (2) mapping where you want to be financially when funding runs out to capture value, and (3) figuring out milestones and adapting along the way to reach financial sustainability.

The document discusses the evolution of pay-for-performance programs in the US healthcare system from the 1990s to the present. It describes three generations of P4P programs and notes trends towards using more extensive datasets, broader sets of quality measures, and integrating P4P with other initiatives like health IT adoption and medical homes. The document also identifies limitations of P4P programs but argues they are still important for driving quality improvement and will continue to evolve through strategies like tying payments more closely to cost and outcomes measures.
Follow the money healthcare business models - seattle startup weekGeof Baker
Healthcare business models are particularly challenging to distinguish between customers, buyers, and the users. Many claim we are moving away from our business as usual “fee for service” to value based reimbursement. What does this mean for digital health, biotech and device entrepreneurs and what is the timing for this change? Who pays for any solutions in healthcare? Where can you be successful?
This session will start with a discussion of healthcare customers: insurance companies, hospitals, doctors, patients, and consumers. We will focus on the unique challenges that each present. What defines winning for each player? And what does each player need to do to win.
We will propose various approaches to help your business models succeed by drawing on our own healthcare startup and corporate experiences

The document discusses a proposed bond measure, Measure V, to fund repairs, renovations, and facility upgrades for the Patterson Schools over the next ten years. If passed, Measure V would provide $50 million to improve aging facilities at Patterson High School and other schools in the district, including building new science labs and career centers, upgrading classrooms, electrical systems, and technology infrastructure. The bond funds would not cover salaries or operating expenses and would be overseen by a citizen's oversight committee.

Finding the Right Care for the Right Price, Cost and Quality (Geof Baker)Geof Baker
This document discusses the state of public reporting on healthcare costs and quality, lessons learned from transparency efforts, and viewpoints from various stakeholders. Key points include:
- Public reporting can help improve healthcare quality and reduce costs by promoting provider efficiency and informed consumer decisions.
- Major challenges include small sample sizes, risk adjustment difficulties, inconsistent ratings, and lack of provider engagement.
- Next generation transparency tools should provide integrated, user-friendly searches; comparative cost/quality data; and actionable information to guide treatment decisions.
- Stakeholders like employers, consumers, and physicians express needs around accessible cost/quality data and opportunities for improvement.
1. The document introduces Classroom, Doctopus, and Goobric as tools that make assignment evaluation easier.
2. It provides step-by-step instructions for using Doctopus to ingest a Google Classroom assignment and its rubric, and for using Goobric to attach the rubric to a student's submitted assignment for grading.
3. The tools allow teachers to quickly grade assignments against pre-defined rubrics, add comments, and send graded work back to students with rubric feedback, saving time and paper.
Mount Pelée, a volcano on the island of Martinique in the Caribbean, had been dormant for centuries but began emitting vapors and ash in late April 1902. On May 8th, the volcano catastrophically erupted, destroying the town of St. Pierre and killing nearly all 30,000 residents within minutes. Only two survivors were found later - a man who had been imprisoned in an underground cell, and a young girl who escaped by boat to a nearby cave. The eruption was one of the worst volcanic disasters of the 20th century due to the volcano producing fiery pyroclastic flows traveling at 450 mph that completely devastated the town.
