If we are going to be ready for the pandemics of the future... we need situational awareness API’s using FHIR that enable our public health entities to say how many are immunized? How many ventilators do we need? What PPE do you need? All this stuff is not that hard to automate if you have a standard.

43% of nurses are considering leaving the profession. That’s up from 17% in 2019. And a third of the healthcare workforce in general, doctors, technicians, folks that work in the hospital are unhappy and thinking about leaving. Scary numbers. We've got to do something. We've got to make changes.

At the outset of Covid there were lots of warnings about mental health. Some of my colleagues, friends and family members who had never thought about seeing or talking to somebody have all leveraged telehealth mental health services. I think telehealth brings down some of the barriers where it might be easier to speak to someone about your problems over video rather than going there in person.
