All illnesses and disabilities are personal, family, workplace, community, and wider experiences as well as clinical signs, diagnoses, and treatment plans. This poem describes and evokes the writer's lived experience of Parkinson's disease-filled with fear, chaos, dread, hope-in relation to what had been for him a simple, routine, recurrent task. It is likely that the poem, on an often-taboo subject, will resonate with readers' own experiences.

His first surgery was timed to the beginnings of coronavirus (COVID) lockdown. The staging of his cancer aligned with a new stage of the pandemic, and by the time of his first chemotherapy appointment, patients were no longer allowed to bring family along for outpatient visits. Although the author is an expert and educator on psychosocial care in medicine, she has found herself at a complete loss, teaching herself the ropes of how to connect with his treatment team and practicing ambiguous advo cacy. Her hus band will be in recovery for a long time; they will both be in recovery. Mesothelioma has robbed them of certainty and safety, as cancer often does, and just as COVID has done, to everyone. selleck kinase inhibitor We are all living in the question mark, in the ambiguity-the Con nection is our loneliness, our isolation, and the uncertainty.

When she meets a new patient or a new learner, particu larly those from different linguistic backgrounds than her own, she acknowledges that it may be hard for her to say their name, placing the burden to practice and be open to correction on herself. Some might argue names are trivial-what does it matter if someone pronounces your name cor rectly?-but we know it's not. Our names are one way we become visible or invisible to those around us. When we ask someone if we can call them something other than their name, we are communi cating (oftentimes, inadvertently) that their name is not worth the effort, that there is something wrong with it, something wrong with them. We have a responsibility to engage in culturally and lin guistically congruent practices and an obliga tion to model what it means to treat our learners and patients with dignity, starting with saying their names.

What is stalling the digital revolution in the provision of health care services to consumers? Understanding how and why this has happened requires that we briefly explore the evo lution of health care in the United States. Topics discussed include (1) morbidity and mortality the public health era (2) Medicare era the advance of diagnostic and therapeutic technology; (3) the power of the consumer patient-centered informatics; and (4) planning and execution of strategic transformation of provision of care informatics. Without an informatics focus, our health care system will continue limping along, costing more money and delivering many years of disability. Our most viable solutions revolve around using informatics to measure, guide and become the transformation.

OneMindPsyberguide (one mindpsyberguide.org) is a third-party app rating platform that offers an important service to providers and patients. Compared with other app review platforms (e.g., American Psychological Association and Anxiety and Depression Association of America app ratings, Enlight, MARS, mHAD, Mind Tools, and ORCHA), Psyberguide is com prehensive and relatively user friendly. To expand our review of Psyberguide, we asked practicing therapists to give us their per spectives on its utility. Our convenience sam ple for feedback included seven behavioral health care providers (BHPs) working in a busy university primary care department. After a few weeks, we requested anonymous feedback from the providers. Most of the BHPs said they found Psyberguide helpful in their prac tice.

This book remains true to its name as a brief review, providing a snap shot of how artificial intelligence (AI) is transform ing the application of informatics in health care. While reading the 12 chapters, the reviewer felt as if she were exploring new worlds of how health care is and should be-relying on AI system-wide. This is a necessary introductory guide for seasoned health care profes sionals seeking to answer the question of how their current and future career will involve AI practice implementation and/or research.

In its most successful form, the approach segments populations by defined characteristics and promotes outreach and engagement to deliver targeted interventions, even among those who have missed recent or routine care. The triple aim, supported by the Institutes for Health Care Improvement, emphasizes improving the health of populations, cost of care, and patient and care team experience and has influenced new approaches in primary care. In primary care settings such as community health centers, the goal of improving outcomes leverages technology to expand focus from point-of-care interventions to population-level approaches to deliver high-quality preventive services and chronic disease management that benefit entire families and communities. Developments in informatics have introduced technology tools for population management and underscored the need to align technology with effective processes and stakeholder engagement for success.
