"I follow a few medical journals, such as the New England Journal of Medicine and The Lancet. I read a fascinating article a short time ago discussing the advancements in artificial retinae and other solutions for the blind. It's incredible to me how far these solutions have come. I have also recently been addicted to Cerner's Perspectives. Some great insights there."

Mind-reading exoskeletons, digital tattoos, 3D printed drugs, RFID implants for recreational purposes: mind-blowing innovations are coming to medicine and healthcare almost every single day based on Healthcare Technology articles.
Rachelle's Feedback
These are mind-blowing indeed! I read not long ago about digital tattoos and was amazed! I have offered a slight revision with a more direct approach.
"I stay up to date by reading many articles from Healthcare Technology publications. For instance, as of late, I have read about many mind-blowing innovations that are coming to medicine and healthcare, such as mind-reading exoskeletons, digital tattoos, 3D printed drugs, and RFID implants for recreational purposes. I look forward to being a part of these important innovations as I continue my career with Cerner."

I think the greatest advancement this year has to be how quickly we were able to implement telehealth solutions during the stay-at-home orders. For years, red tape slowed the progression, and yet almost overnight, that changed. I think that shows promise for needed change in healthcare.
Rachelle's Feedback
The response time to telehealth solutions was incredible! This example is a very good one in regards to pushing through during unexpected hardships. It would be a great addition to briefly discuss Cerners' response to the situation in more detail as well.
