Joe, sorry I missed this in the course of messages on our multiple social networking platforms. Thanks for sharing the white paper.
We are actually at a critical time and the conversation amongst healthcare professionals and those who are interes...
For those interested in the documents Joe referenced, look for the .pdf file attached just below the article.
I am probably not as deeply rooted in healthcare and the healthcare community as most everyone else here, but I do not see a lot of attention being paid to disparities right now. This is concerning to me as we are starting to talk a lot about heal...
I was actually thinking of mashing up your avatars into a picture of the two of you. However, like you pointed out, you will want to have consistent branding of the group as it grows. And, using your personal pictures in the avatar just might alie...
You mean, we can't just have a picture of us together as the icon? :-) We can think of one soon and upload it. We can always change it, but if we start to brand this way it will be good to keep it consistent. Another point to think on amongst the ...

I think that this is a wonderful place to get started Amri...and so far your white paper is dynamite, I will finish it this week and give more feedback.
I am a stickler for language and definitions and I am wondering if we might start by having s...
Hello, Joe/MedXCommunity
Of course, my recurring theme is the reach of our conversation and framing of this thing called cultural competency. With the risk of seemingly shameless self promotion, my re-released white paper, Diversity, Disease Mana...

Disparities and Leadership
Admitting that we have a problem is the first step towards recovery.
I have been talking and writing a lot lately about a new way of leadership. I think that we are seeing a lot of evidence that the way we do leadership is inadequate. We simply deserve better. We deserve better outcomes. We deserve progress and solutions. In our organizations, our communities and our society we deserve better.

For more and more organizations in more and more industries, creativity and innovation are rapidly becoming the best new opportunity for establishing competitive advantage. This is no big secret as there is a great deal of writing, talking, buzz-wording, best-practicing and shouting about innovation today. Innovation is also coming to be viewed as increasingly important to education, non-profit and government entit… Continue
