Forgive me for being pedantic but this is like nails on a chalkboard to me. HIPAA is the correct abbreviation of the Health Information Portability and Accountability Act which as an aside doesn't necessarily preclude someone from tr

Some other noteworthy ones include: Neil Young, Leonard Cohen, Bryan Adams, Barenaked Ladies and The Tragically Hip. Of course one shouldn't forget what is perhaps Canada's greatest contribution to music: Nickelback.

In a more respectful way he's probably getting at the fact that while the telecoms control a significant proportion of TV and radio there's still the CBC (owned by the government at arm's length, theoretically) and print medi

That's a pretty crappy cell phone deal unless you're somewhere really remote. Rogers offers 75GB @ 5G and unlimited throttled with Canada-wide long distance and North America roaming for $90. I've kept my Canadian # for poste

> Haha wow this is a great post. I am a lawyer and you may have solved a problem I recently encountered. So you think this is saying that generic language in the Zoom BAA constitutes permission to de-identify? Not that I’m an expert on t

by haldujai 3y ago
One note is that the act of deidentification itself requires accessing PHI when done retroactively, this may be institutional policy or specific to covered entities but per the privacy office lawyers such access (apart from a small dataset)

I don’t think the question is about Zoom’s safeguards which are audited, and as you say almost certainly stronger than HIPAA requirements, but rather whether they can use the stored PHI for product development where the law appears ambiguou

by haldujai 3y ago
IANAL but “Zoom for Healthcare” is a business associate under HIPAA and treated as an extension of the provider with some added restrictions. Covered entities (including the EMR and hospital itself) can use protected health information for

I’m always initially deceived by these posts from “nature.com” “Nature Research Highlights” is the biomedical equivalent of “MIT News”, they’d lead one to think the cure for cancer and unlimited battery storage are around the corner.

I’m not trying to debate or convince you of the right to or morality of abortion. Going back to your original statement of: > If we're going by this mindset, then we have to agree that Roe v Wade is perhaps the one of the worst even

Neither would the FDA, we can prescribe off-label all we want.

For the purposes of discussing the impact of an event we generally refer to the "excess death" metric rather than "direct" or "related deaths" which are very challenging to define and determine, as you stated.

There is a system by which to do so called the Right to Try act, you need to have tried all approved alternatives first and be deemed ineligible to participate in the clinical trial for the investigational treatment. From the first post of

You’re missing the point, I said it’s not a panacea. I doubt adequately insured in the US (69%) would tolerate lower quality care and being prohibited from paying for better care like in a single payer system, both socially and legally alth

Not sure how accurate those numbers are. "Physician" is not a singular job even within a single specialty and varies significantly based on practice pattern so averaging the numbers like that doesn't make a lot of sense. For

Couple comments: 1. I tried searching colonoscopy in the UES and the experience is a bit confusing. Although it says "showing price for colonoscopy" I had to expand the price breakdown to see that some of the quotes (the cheaper o

They have much larger plays and interests than developer software such as Office/Outlook. Also stops Google from making the same deal as OpenAI needed credits from someone.

Gaudi2 was competitive with the A100 on paper but was borderline vaporware. Agree for now, but long do we think this will last though. There really hasn’t been that great of a financial incentive to compete on DL. Nvidia themselves only rec

Speaking of negative signals the startup website linked in the substack comes across as one. A lot of medical buzz words in what is becoming a very crowded area for AI (this is the third opthalmology related AI startup I’ve heard about this

Thanks for clarifying, I misinterpreted the commenter as referring to the accelerator as the conversation was about TPU availability for purchase. I know just enough about the architecture to facilitate using TPUs for research training runs

No worries. As an aside I'm not a tech worker I'm primarily a clinician as well so I don't make access decisions but if it were up to me I would give MDs more. Some places are better, most institutions I've been at have

My experience has been different. Considering how easy the application is I think they're still being fairly generous as I've been offered multiple v3-8s and v3-32s x 30days as well as pre-emptible v3-64s x 28 days for a few diffe

Huh, this doesn't seem right. Based on #s you seem to be referring to pods but even then I'm not familiar with such a configuration existing. A single TPUv2 chip has 1 core and 8gb of memory. A single device comes in the v2-8 conf

Got it, Epic-PLY is the playground version that comes with every Epic install. Sounds like they've restricted playground user roles as well, you'd need your hospital IT to change that in the playground environment. There's a

Strange, I'm a radiologist and this happened to us at the very beginning of the Epic transition as well (they also dropped ER MD notes from our profile) but we gave that feedback and they changed it within a few weeks as we used the ma

Not really sure what you're getting at, teratogenicity only matters if a person is pregnant and lack of teratogenicity is in no way a requirement for FDA approval. There are many commonly used drugs with teratogenic risks that we disco
