Comprehensiveness
Had my PhD comprehensives yesterday. I was deemed “sufficiently comprehensive”, and so I move forward towards my own research. I thought the exam went well – parts of it felt like a conversation rather than an interrogation so that must have been a good sign.
BTW – I even managed to reference Malcom Gladwell’s TED Talk presentation (below) when being asked about health informatics standards — “there is no such thing as a perfect pickle only perfect pickles”. I definitely find Malcolm’s talk worth watching.
I enjoyed Malcolm’s talk on choice, although clearly too many choices are detrimental as well. Tying Malcolm’s talk back to HINF. We do not know the natural break down, or categories, for clinical information systems — is there an “extra chunky” EMR flavor that we should be designing? Much work ahead, I think.
