10 Health IT Rockstars and Their #NHITWeek Happenings

It’s National Health IT Week and so I thought it would be fun to take a quick look at what some health IT social media rockstars are doing to celebrate #NHITWeek.

Mandi Bishop (@mandibpro) is sorting through her petabytes of #HITHeroes selfies and creating a t-shirt that says “I Heart Big Data.”

Farzad Mostashari, MD (@Farzad_MD) is sending out bow ties to prospects for his new company Aledade.

Charles Wesbter, MD (@wareflo) is programming his Google Glass controlled robot to improve EHR workflow.

Wen Dombrowski, MD (@healthcarewen) is practicing to break the World Record for most tweets sent during a conference session.

Gregg Masters (@2healthguru) is reading the latest Flex-IT act and Final Rule on meaningful use flexibility from his surfboard in the ocean.

Cari McLean (@carimclean) and Michael Gaspar (@MichaelGaspar) are fighting over which Health IT meme is more likely to go viral.

Geeta Nayyar, MD (@gnayyar) is making medicine fun and meaningful.

Regina Holliday (@ReginaHolliday) is painting a Walking Gallery jacket for a statue dedicated to the patient that will be put in the CMS lobby in Washington.

Matthew Holt (@boltyboy) is creating a new conference dedicated to Health IT buzzwords. Sessions include #HealthAnalytics, #HealthcareSocialMedia, #ACOs, #PatientEngagement, #HIE, and many more.

Keith Boone (@motorcycle_guy) is doing an HL7 crossword puzzle.
