Welcome to my new blog! My name is Jason Burke, and I’m a strategist, technologist, and writer focused on how data, technology, and analytics can be used to transform the health and life sciences ecosystem. My LinkedIn profile is public if you are interested in the places I’ve worked and the experiences I’ve had.
For those that have followed my blogging since my start way back in 2008, thanks for continuing to read and contribute to the conversation (and if you wish to browse my prior blog posts, they are still available at SAS.com, just click here for the feed). For those that are new, I hope some of the things I share will be at least thought provoking, and I would welcome your participation in the dialogue.
Here is what you can expect from me on this blog:
- I don’t accept the status quo. I believe health care — the entire ecosystem — is broken…but not beyond repair or hope. I write about what interests me, which often focuses on the potential for evolution of the industry — the business, the science, the technology — towards a more effective health delivery system.
- My view of the problem space — and therefore my writing — tends to be multi-disciplinary. Topics include the evolving disciplines of medicine, clinical informatics, advanced analytics, strategy development, innovation, software architectures, big data, performance management…the list goes on, as the field of opportunities for health improvement is huge.
- I don’t pick sides. I’m not interested in the politics of health care — I don’t write about them, and I don’t participate in the ideological debates of conservative vs. liberal policies. I’m interested in researching, exploring, and discussing real-world issues based on real-world information, not financial and social philosophies.
So welcome aboard, it should be an interesting ride!
