Are there any topics you’d love to see featured on an upcoming panel? This might be too nerdy, but I am really interested in how people are using event streaming for data capture in healthcare. That’s interesting to me from a data management perspective. Likewise, I think the evolution of low- and no-UI healthcare would be an interesting area of conversation. JUST FOR FUN What do you like to do in your free time? I like to read. I’m currently reading The Wizards of Armageddon , a non-fiction book about American policymakers regarding nuclear war and nuclear deterrents. I also enjoy playing games with my family and am an avid cyclist. The bike trails in Duluth are pretty spectacular, if you’re local. Where is your favorite travel destination? I love the mountains, wherever they are. My family and I were just in Colorado and hiked a couple of very high peaks (by North American standards, at least). We saw mountain goats, marmots, and all kinds of alpine flora and fauna. What is the best meal you’ve ever eaten? One of the best meals I’ve ever had was on my honeymoon 21 years ago. We ate in an old Etruscan fortress in a small town in Tuscany. We were literally inside the walls of this old fortress eating wild boar stew – it was incredible! Before COVID, the last meal I ate in a restaurant was at 112 Eatery with my wife. We recognized it might be the last time we could enjoy a meal out for quite some time. Are there any podcasts that you? I like Dan Carlin’s Hardcore History . He’s not a true historian – more of a well-educated fan than an academic. His take on history is very well sourced, but his personal passion about the human condition shines through. It’s very entertaining and informative.
THE PREMIER HEALTHCARE GROUP IN THE MIDWEST. Relevant Health Roundtable R elevant Health Roundtable (RHR) has steadily grown and evolved into the Midwest’s premier healthcare- based discussion group. RHR aims to provide members with the opportunity to engage with other healthcare industry leaders, discuss important topics in the healthcare realm, and provide attendees with tangible insights they can use throughout their careers. In our last RHR panel session, solving the cost of care dilemma, Sue Knudson (Chief Informatics & Health Engagement Officer at HealthPartners), Troy Simonson (Chief Executive Officer at Twin Cities Orthopedics), and our cover story feature Chris Cronin (Chief Executive Officer at MOBE) shared their perspective on cost of care pre- and post- COVID and future implications of value- based care partnerships.
