This year Academy Health co-located the National Health Policy Conference with Health Datapalooza. It was well executed. There were lots of great concurrent break-out sessions. Because of that, people had a hard time choosing which health data and policy sessions to attend. Some chose to divide their time between two. This is a high level […]

The Freedom of Information Act has allowed the public to free copious amounts of health data from the U.S. government in addition to solving countless transparency issues. At CareSet, which releases DocGraph Datasets, we are especially focused on using FOIA to increase healthcare transparency. The DocGraph Journal was founded on this principle of transparency – […]

Last week at CareSet we had our annual mid-year review. I was not in attendance last year, nor were a lot of current employees. We have nearly doubled in size over the last twelve months and we are still growing. A mid-year review is aptly named. We are in the middle. We reflect on the […]

2019 was CareSet’s third attendance at the annual meeting held in San Diego. At our fist PMSA, we were two people with a lot of heart and a lot of ground to cover. This year, with a growing team and a growing reputation, it made sense to show up in full force. Co-founder and CTO, […]

This past week, CareSet attended the 10th Annual Health Datapalooza, brought to you by Academy Health. Originally from the mind of Todd Park, Data Jedi, the world of health data is seeking to change the game. Healthcare should be people-centric. Data has the power to get there. Read some highlights from the conference. Pre-Datapalooza Classes […]

SXSW was the best of times; it was the best of times. I can’t wrap my head around this past weekend. It was filled with late nights, early mornings, and entirely too long of days. But I wouldn’t have it any other way. My first SXSW was one for the books. Working with CareSet allowed […]

Update: Last year we offered classes at PMSA and Datapalooza. We had such great feedback…We are doing it again! See below for dates/registration. At CareSet we know how hard it can be to make sense of the most central open healthcare datasets for pharma applications. As a result, we are offering classes in cooperation with […]

Now that the FTC complaint from our CTO, Fred Trotter (as well as Andrea Downing and David Harlow) has been made available to the public, and apparently Congress, it is time to announce a minor change in CareSet’s marketing strategy. CareSet is deleting its Facebook page. credit: Wikimedia Commons credit: Wikimedia Commons What began as […]

Today while attending CES to talk about AI in healthcare, I learned that CES is the first health tech conference to offer Continuing Medical Education (CME) credit for its clinician attendees. This is huge news and is an important step in reconciling the clinician and technical communities. Attendees can earn CME credit at CES. A […]

HHS finally used the “s”-word (silos) talking about themselves. The Context: When anyone seeks to understand what is happening within HHS, a “search” must be conducted. In the era of paper records, this was a literal, physical search. An HHS employee would go to filing cabinets somewhere and find resources. Now a “search” means figuring […]
