Framing the question correctly ensures correct data

• City planning, NOT architecture. Requires gov’t involvement, Socio-technical system- people are not using the system, they are a part of the system
• Continuous growth, education, and deployment = ultra large scale systems. Informatics is orchestration rather than demanding control
• Interoperability is both sending and receiving
• Frame solutions in terms that matter to people. Don’t think of medicine vertically, think of it horizontally.
• Standardize: meaning, structure (need a common format for granular data, as in chemistry, a periodic table), transport, security, services (services = four previous themes combined)
• A patient is not a collection of granular data, patients are a narrative.
