Classic talk on informatics ROI #CIC25 - organizations like to say they’re data-driven but gravity will pull them toward data-naive or data-dismissiveness. Informaticists must capture their impact on outcomes, financial benefit, efficiencies and (harder to measure) cultural impact - Dr. Joel Gordon

Alerts on the record telling docs they’re responsible for the documentation they’re signing feels redundant at best. Those who bother to read that statement are the ones already editing their notes. Also, AI warnings/labels are the new Prop 65; discuss. #CIC25 (p.s. Read b4 you sign!!)

Bumping this post for #CIC25. This was a general guide that I made for the Annual Symposium, but a lot of this will be relevant to people at the Clinical Informatics Conference, where I will be recruiting from to help boost our numbers here!

Purely for academic reasons, I need a list of fonts that do not differentiate between the capital letter β€œi” and the number one. And a list of some that gradually progress to greater differences. Again, purely for academic reasons.

1 surprising thing I learned when I was writing my manifesto for the Comics Devices Library is that reading comics - or rather, reading images in sequence to construct and apprehend meaning - is itself a difficult and unique literacy + comprehension skill that does not come naturally to most people.
