I suppose I can use this account for work sometimes - so if you’re headed to DC this week, hit me up! Happy to talk about all things #CMSalignednetwork or anything else going on in the interop world.

OK, so Boros might actually be completely overpowered in Powered Cube. 7-0 and only one game was close. I'm not even good at this anymore in my old age. #mtg #mtgarena #poweredcube

Election hack for democrats: 1) tell everyone with student loans to sue the next administration for whatever they owe in student loans. Just make up a reason. 2) democrats pledge to just settle with everyone.

“An anonymous HHS official says that despite last week’s announcement, it will not create a registry of people with autism.” Really hope you’re (they’re) right @histalk.bsky.social

It’s been great to have the opportunity to drop by Kno2’s podcast a few times. The latest one really unpacks the #TEFCA realities around individuals accessing their own records and insight into how it’s actually working. Find the links to Spotify and Apple here: kno2.com/kno2fy-podcast

Really proud of this man for how far he’s come. Left outside for the first six months of his life and abused, when I adopted him he was scared of even going out at all. Now, he finds his sunspot and refuses to move. Happy 3rd birthday, Loki. #dogsofbluesky #bernesemountaindog #foreverhome

This #EqualPayDay, demand that Congress pass the Paycheck Fairness Act. Closing the gender wage gap is essential for women to secure a better economic future for themselves and their families. Thank you to @murray.senate.gov & @delauro.house.gov for introducing this critical bill today.

My gaming laptop just bit the dust, and the PC I built is ~6 years old now. Does anyone have recommendations or know some reputable places to get a PC built for me with pretty top specs? Willing to spend on it given how much time I spend gaming/working today. #pcgaming #buildapc

If you follow #prowrestling at all, I was going to skip watching #Wrestlemania this year for the first time in a while due to lack of interest...then #WWE had their Red Wedding. It was perfect.

On my way to #HIMSS25, miss them already. It's been a crazy few months personally, professionally, and politically, but these goobers really do keep me grounded. We don't deserve #dogs.

For what it's worth, it was likely within the 60 day window of identifying that your data was in the breach. It took a long time for the cybersecurity analysts to sort through all of the data and determine what was breached. This is where ransomware is different than just a standard breach.

Matt Becker @fhirball.bsky.social · 24/02/2025

Over a year after the cyberattack, I got notice today from Change Healthcare that my data was stolen. It's even dated 2/7/25, which means it took them more than two weeks to even get it to me after they printed it. HHS has specified just 60 days for individual notice: www.hhs.gov/hipaa/for-pr...

www.nbcnews.com/health/healt... "and in particular, the measles-mumps-rubella (MMR) vaccine, falsely linking it to autism." Imagine being so afraid of possibly being neurodivergent, you ignore all the facts (and reality) and choose to risk an extremely painful death instead.

I actually agree with this & would encourage the fine career folks at ASTP/ONC who I have worked w/ as a contractor & as the Deputy to stay & keep working hard. The work you do is incredibly important for patients. But if you do leave, ping me & I'll be happy to recommend you for any job.

Just glad it's back on an application that I can participate in and trust. I hope this worked well for folks, because I'm excited for the possibilities with the additional open functionality here. #HITsm

Another important initiative when talking about #interoperability, especially #workflow. The data is great, but machine readability and trusting that data is key to advancing patient care. #HITsm

Matt Becker @fhirball.bsky.social · 31/01/2025

Always appreciate a good Swiftie reference. Have we solved it? Absolutely not. Need to make sure interoperability gets everywhere, not just major health systems. Make it simple, and give power to patients and all caregivers in the ecosphere! A lot of progress there, but a lot to fight for. #HITsm

Matt Becker @fhirball.bsky.social · 31/01/2025

+2 to more patient voices. Patients taking ownership over their health journey is still critical - there's so much opportunity for those people still waiting for better tech to help them. #HITsm

The #HITAC Health Equity by Design Task Force has been scrubbed from the HITAC landing page. Also, not a major surprise. The (now dead) 🔗: www.healthit.gov/hitac/commit... Scope, pasted here from the archive. Had some incredible leadership and members.

Health Equity by Design Task Force 2024
Incorporating HEBD Principles in Health IT

Provide ASTP with recommendations on promising practices, challenges, and resources to support health and human services organizations to incorporate HEBD principles into the design, build, implementation, use, and monitoring of health IT

The recommendations should include:
Considerations that health and human services organizations can use to include HEBD in health IT
Recommendations for ASTP on potential next steps to advance the implementation of HEBD principles in the design, build, implementation, use and monitoring of health IT
Recommendations Due: May 2025

I love it when a diabetic patient gets new insurance effective January 1 and they’re sending me letters by January 10 because the patient hasn’t filled a statin yet - because they filled a 90 day supply in November. This is how insurers “improve patient outcomes”, right?
