71 percent of Americans say they are unwilling to listen to someone they disagree with. ~ David Bersoff of the Edelman Trust Institute @academyhealth.bsky.social #trust 🇺🇸 ahsituationreport.substack.com/p/rebuilding...

Rebuilding Trust Requires More Than Better Messaging
As trust in institutions declines, researchers may need to focus as much on listening and understanding as they do on sharing evidence.

Most of us think of a day as a fixed 24 hours. Science actually says otherwise. 🤯 www.sciencedaily.com/releases/202...

Earth’s day isn’t exactly 24 hours. The reason may lie deep inside the planet
Scientists may have solved why the length of Earth’s day changes by a few milliseconds over decades. Subtle shifts in the inner core appear to tug on the mantle, revealing a surprisingly dynamic world...

Interoperability has a new definition Old question: “Can these systems exchange data?” New question: “Can this data change what happens next?” That’s a much higher bar. Interoperability shouldn’t end with information arriving. It should end with better decisions. #HDPalooza

The uncomfortable question We increasingly have the tech to predict what might happen to a patient. But prediction isn’t prevention. ❎The real measure of health AI isn’t: “Can the algorithm predict it?” ✅It’s: “Did the system help someone sooner?” That’s the evidence that matters. #HDPalooza

Healthcare doesn’t have a data problem alone. It has an action problem. We’ve gotten much better at collecting data. The next frontier is turning it into something clinicians, patients and policymakers can ACTUALLY use. Data → insight → action. That’s the real interoperability test. #HDPalooza

Evidence is infrastructure. We talk about #healthdata as if it’s just information. It isn’t. Good data → good evidence → better decisions → better care. When evidence disappears, uncertainty takes its place. That should concern everyone. #HDPalooza @academyhealth.bsky.social
