The presentation, delivered at the 2014 Bio-IT World Conference, describes the benefits and advantages of a Biobank Management System (BMS) that combines standardization with flexibility to support translational and clinical research.
This document discusses healthcare data interoperability and its value. It defines interoperability as the ability of health information systems to work together across organizational boundaries to improve healthcare delivery. The value of interoperable data depends on factors like uniqueness, meaning extraction, comprehensiveness, and quality of the data. Different data types provide varying levels of ease in analysis and value creation. Standards and initiatives aim to facilitate interoperable exchange between providers, patients, and other stakeholders. Interoperability enhances the value of analytic tools, health information exchanges, and platforms by enabling data sharing and expansion opportunities. Monetization strategies include direct transaction fees and indirect value creation from data-driven insights.
This document defines categories and matrices to evaluate digital health solutions. It discusses category definitions, sources of value, behavior change capabilities, fit with conventional medicine, business models, adoption, and potential revenue streams. Examples of digital health solutions are also provided and evaluated based on these criteria. The document emphasizes the importance of behavior change capabilities for digital health solutions to be effective.
Standardization is a process used to make rates such as mortality rates comparable between populations with different age distributions. There are two main methods: direct standardization which applies the age-specific rates of the populations to a standard population, and indirect standardization which calculates a standardized mortality ratio by taking the ratio of observed to expected deaths based on a standard population's rates. Standardization allows unbiased comparison of health outcomes between groups after removing the effect of differences in age composition.

Suzanne Lagerweij - Influence Without Power - Why Empathy is Your Best Friend...Suzanne Lagerweij
This is a workshop about communication and collaboration. We will experience how we can analyze the reasons for resistance to change (exercise 1) and practice how to improve our conversation style and be more in control and effective in the way we communicate (exercise 2).
This session will use Dave Gray’s Empathy Mapping, Argyris’ Ladder of Inference and The Four Rs from Agile Conversations (Squirrel and Fredrick).
Abstract:
Let’s talk about powerful conversations! We all know how to lead a constructive conversation, right? Then why is it so difficult to have those conversations with people at work, especially those in powerful positions that show resistance to change?
Learning to control and direct conversations takes understanding and practice.
We can combine our innate empathy with our analytical skills to gain a deeper understanding of complex situations at work. Join this session to learn how to prepare for difficult conversations and how to improve our agile conversations in order to be more influential without power. We will use Dave Gray’s Empathy Mapping, Argyris’ Ladder of Inference and The Four Rs from Agile Conversations (Squirrel and Fredrick).
In the session you will experience how preparing and reflecting on your conversation can help you be more influential at work. You will learn how to communicate more effectively with the people needed to achieve positive change. You will leave with a self-revised version of a difficult conversation and a practical model to use when you get back to work.
Come learn more on how to become a real influencer!
2. BACKGROUND
In late 2013, I was retained by Remedy
Informatics to analyze market requirements
and develop a product roadmap for a
Biobank Management System (BMS),
author a white paper, and develop and
deliver thought-leader presentations at
leading biomedical informatics conferences.
Following is the presentation I delivered at
Bio-IT World. It is derived from the white
paper, and it describes the benefits and
advantages of a BMS that combines
standardization with flexibility.
