Congratulations Bryan! #AMIA2025
Way to go Siru! #AMIA2025
Most pressing challenges facing informatics work at #AMIA2025
ROI is the new AUC. @kdpsingh.bsky.social #AMIA2025
Hello #AMIA2025, so glad to see all 2,145 of you here in Atlanta .
I wanted to give you a guide on how to make the most of the conference here on Bluesky, and hopefully convince you to continue the conversation after you head home.
Here are some tips I want to share in a thread 🧵 1/10
I'm coming out of hiding for #AMIA2025! 👋🏼
Research from @ChildrensPhila followed 2k+ patients with #HLHS for 35 yrs. Adult survivors are thriving-85% report good to excellent health and QOL scores higher than the general population. They’re going to school, working, and living full lives! www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
Join us at 2:30 today at #XGM2025 in Odyssey for ClinAC114! We’re sharing how #ChatGPT helps make sense of override comments to improve #CDS effectiveness.
I love to see other institutions using #Clickbusters to improve CDS! #XGM2025

Docs get tons of #PatientPortal messages, some more urgent than others.
Can #LLMs with Retrieval-Augmented Generation be used to identify emergencies from these messages?

We've got plenty of flyers and swag left!
Come see me at the Resource and Research fair in Light Hall this morning from 9-11, and learn about all of the amazing clinical informatics resources VCLIC offers at VUMC!
Disappointed to see DBMI & VCLIC accounts, which supported research, events & collaboration, deactivated with no public explanation. I'm told it’s a “security” decision, but lack of transparency makes it hard to understand or support. I’ll keep sharing here-views my own, obviously. 🩺🖥️ #AcademicSky
"We're all toasted, let's put some butter on it."
Good morning San Juan! Ready for this year's @amiainformatics.bsky.social #ACMI retreat!
Read more about our approach to Clinical Informatics Education with @vclic.bsky.social at @vumcdbmi.bsky.social! @vumc-insights.bsky.social 🩺🖥️ #AcademicSky
Come see me this morning at the Dan Beauchamp Research Day Poster Session in Langford Hall, where I'm presenting work from colleagues through the Clinical Informatics Core on using PROMs to counsel patients on treatment options for diverticulitis!
While we don’t always know what the future holds for Charlie, but we’re so thankful for the surgeons, researchers, funding agencies, and donors who have made Charlie's amazing life possible!
Medicine is constantly changing thanks to new research - just a few decades ago, these surgeries weren’t available, and babies with hearts like Charlie’s had no hope for the future like we do today.
Many individuals with single ventricle disease have made it into adulthood without a need for additional interventions past their Fontan, while others have required more procedures, or even heart transplants.
Despite everything, Charlie is very typical (almost) 9 year old boy. He is in the 3rd grade with some amazing friends, he's active in ninja classes twice a week, and he aspires to be a professional video gamer.
Charlie currently takes aspirin, tadalafil, and lisinopril, iron, and Vitamin D every day, but in the past, he has taken up to 6 different medications, 3-4x/day.
Charlie has had 9 surgical procedures so far. He had his first surgery (BTT shunt), when he was 8 days old, the Glenn procedure when he was 6 months old, and the Fontan when he was 5 years old.
In his 1st year of life, Charlie spent 43 nights in the hospital. He has been admitted 6 times, visited the ED 3 times, and had >100 clinic/therapy visits.
