In My Blood by means of Shawn Mendes. Chosen by means of Grace Cordovano @GraceCordovano
Help me, it’s just like the partitions are caving in / Sometimes I believe like giving up / But I simply can’t / It isn’t in my blood.

It’s no longer as a result of we’re shoppers. It’s as a result of we’d like get right of entry to to knowledge & virtual gear to get the care we wish to live on. We aren’t giving up however we’d like HealthIT to paintings in combination to deliver tech to us the place we’re.

Things That Make You Go Hmmm by means of C&C Music Factory. Chosen by means of Jen Horonjeff @jhoronjeff
I picked this as a result of there’s such a lot of healthtech that comes out that makes you ponder whether any individual idea to #askpatients or different end-users, be it for capability, usability, or simply whether or not it exact solves an actual downside. I am hoping 2019 produces much less issues that make me cross hmmm

Shallow by means of Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper. Chosen by means of Amanda Greene @LALupusLady
I make a choice #Shallow from @starisbornmovie soundtrack for the #HIMSS19 Playlist.  The music is a dialog between a person and a lady however it might constitute the numerous conversations that happen within the Healthcare house.  While some HCPs are diving in to the deep finish, too many aren’t.

I wanna Try by means of MOUNT & Nicolas Haelg. Chosen by means of Dr. Nick van Terheyden @drnic1
I wanna take a look at one thing just right, I wanna take a look at for you, I wanna give, wanna give one thing just right, For you to do. But I wavered on Break Free – Taryn Southern #AI generated.

This is Me by means of Kesha/Keala Settle. Chosen by means of Dr. Rasu Shrestha @RasuShrestha
This inspiring music lifts me up any time I pay attention to it, and in some ways displays an incredible previous 12 months. It’s from the epic film that tells the story of a visionary and an incredible group that rose from apparently not anything to create a spectacle that changed into a world sensation. Look out ’motive right here I come / And I’m marching directly to the beat I drum. I believe that this music is a drum-beat to the tireless fireplace that burns inside every folks within the healthcare business, as we mirror on who we’re, and the paths we aspire to proceed to blaze – in combination.

It’s A Complex World by means of The Young Adults. Chosen by means of David Harlow @healthblawg
Thinking ‘bout my long term makes me fearful. We are crushed with probabilities, with promise, with possible choices to be made. While requirements are rising they’re some distance from mounted. AI-enabled gear are ceaselessly at the horizon, no longer but integrated into the day by day workflow.

The Long and Winding Road by means of The Beatles. Chosen by means of Linda Stotsky @EMRAnswers
This music describes the lengthy and winding highway to hooked up well being, knowledge sharing & interoperability. It’s a looooong and winding highway, a paranormal vacation spot that we proceed to consider however by no means appear to succeed in. Too many detours, too many roadblocks and an excessive amount of confusion.

Money [clean version] by means of Cardi B. Chosen by means of Lygeia Riccardi @Lygeia
Do we truly have to invite why? Money (and no longer all the time the blank model) is on the root of such a lot in healthcare

Meant to Be by means of Bebe Rexha that includes Florida Georgia Line. Chosen by means of John Lynn @techguy
Sometimes in healthcare IT we get labored up over issues that may most likely by no means determine.  We attempt to have compatibility spherical pegs in sq. holes.  Sometimes we need to take a minute to chill out after which we’ll to find the appropriate trail ahead.  It’s a just right message for existence too.  Work exhausting, play exhausting, and if it’s intended to be, it’ll be.

War by means of Now The Changes. Chosen by means of @jamcbride
In healthcare we’re on a precipice. We wield nice drugs and era however we wish to battle so it’s to be had to all. More than ever, it’s now or by no means.

No Tears Left to Cry by means of Ariana Grande. Chosen by means of Nick Adkins @nickisnpdx
Providers are so uninterested about sub optimum tech infrastructure, particularly after they know the way easy it’s to make use of tech of their each day non-public lives, that they don’t have to any extent further tears left for the stranglehold many techniques have on them.

Don’t Stop Me Now by means of Queen. Chosen by means of Andrew Richards @andrewintech
I believe like there’s a construction momentum within the healthcare business to if truth be told trade issues. FHIR implementations, collaboration, ahead considering clinical schooling, partnerships. The doers of the sector aren’t paying attention to the naysayers and it’s beginning to repay. We have an extended option to cross…don’t prevent us now.

Feels Like Summer by means of Childish Gambino. Chosen by means of Shereese Maynard @ShereesePubHlth
Where 2017 held a lot sadness in HIT, If I’m being truthful, 2018 was once refreshing. We noticed extra evidence of labor, extra tasks to reinforce interop. We mentioned, “slow down, you may have something here.” And now issues are having a look brighter.

Workflow by means of Charlie Okay. Chosen by means of Charles Webster @wareFLO
Lots use #workflow hashtag to tweet about existence’s routines: stand up early, punch & watch the clock, do identical factor over-and-over, our small frustrations & successes. Then doing all of it once more. What all of us do to get by means of & deal with the ones we adore..

It’s Time by means of Imagine Dragons. Chosen by means of Jared Jeffery @Jk_Jeffery
It’s all about Interoperability. The refrain says, “It’s time to begin, isn’t it? I get a little bit bigger but I’ll admit, I’m just the same as I was. Don’t you understand? I’m never changing who I am.” 2018 was once giant for knowledge. Yet to many interop feels “just the same as [it] was.”

It’s Time by means of Imagine Dragons. Chosen by means of Jamey Edwards @jameyedwards
Its’ time for our healthcare device to modify. Radically.  We are all caught in the established order and we wish to rebuild.  That rebuilding shall be exhausting.  It’s time to mention good-bye to one step ahead and a couple of step again sorts of incremental trade. It’s time to have the braveness to in point of fact remake healthcare.

Say Something by means of Justin Timberlake. Chosen by means of Geeta Nayyar @gnayyar
Everybody says say one thing…then say one thing. Now greater than ever, well being IT wishes us to talk up & “say something.” We’ve made just right growth, however there’s extra to do to reinforce care get right of entry to & results for MDs, caregivers & sufferers. Please “say something” alongside w/me, each and every probability you get, to advance significant dialog.

Burning by means of Bob Sinclair & Daddy’s Groove. Chosen by means of Mike Biselli @mikebiselli
I used to be in Prague throughout Thanksgiving vacation for holiday, and heard this music. It made me suppose how just right issues if truth be told are and  how excited I’m for the longer term, each in my view and professionally!

Wake Me Up by means of Avicii. Chosen by means of Colin Hung @Colin_Hung
Feeling my manner throughout the darkness / Guided by means of a beating center / I will’t inform the place the adventure will finish / But I do know the place to begin. I selected this music for a couple of causes. First, it’s simply an excellent music – uplifting, a laugh and an excellent beat. Second, I believe many people in Health IT are feeling our manner throughout the darkish guided by means of not anything greater than our hobby to sort things…and we commence by means of being the trade. Third, Avicii tragically kicked the bucket in 2018. He suffered for years with deficient psychological well being – one thing that many physicians, nurses and different clinicians additionally be afflicted by on account of the pressures at paintings.
