There has been a tremendous increase in access to PHI caused by global EMR adoption, increase in popularity of mobile platforms, large numbers of IT systems, multiple facilities and many employees within the Medical Center community.  All this coupled with new guidelines set forth by the HITECH act and tighter regulation around HIPAA has increased…

My commitment is to grow a moustache for the month of November and by changing my appearance (not for the better), raise vital awareness and funds for men's health, specifically prostate and testicular cancer initiatives. 

I am asking you to help…

If you've decided to purchase accident insurance, you should clearly define what is your insurable interest and only then choose an insurance company. It must be financially stable and reliable. Explore its position in the rankings, pay attention to the level of payments. Ask for the company's portfolio, the distribution of insurance types should be even. It is important to know the working experience of the insurer on the market. Find out whether this …

A friend sent this article. Thought you Innov8ors would appreciate! Too bad they don't back-up their stats.  Enjoy! Sunnie…

As a third year student at the University of Kentucky College of Medicine I had to do some bargaining with the faculty in order to get to participate in the Innov8 for Health Business Concept Expo on April 20.  I figured that with all the interest in what Sunnie & co. are doing, I should share a my experience and idea.  So here's  the essay I wrote my faculty to get an…

DIY "Maker Moement" and venture capital is an article in Bloomberg BusinessWeeks 2/20 edition. The DIY Maker movement is alive and well in SW Ohio and this article presents the conundrum that VC folks are encountering when they meet innovators that operate in a community that uses open source software - and now, open source hardware.

Thanks to all the contestants, judges, sponsors, and helpers. The first annual Innov8 for Health Idea Expo was wonderful!!! Please join me in congratulating all the winners.…

I just had to take a moment to share how inspired I was and still am by the courage and the talent of the innovators that pitched their ideas yesterday during the first annual Innov8 for Health Idea Expo.  I just can't thank all of you that submitted an idea enough for sharing a piece of you with us.  There were more passionate and heartfelt stories than can be written or even discussed, but none go with out appreciation. 

If we are going to change health care for the better, we have…
