Prothonotary warbler: the BPPE licensing application will give WUaS a GREAT opportunity for WUaS to collaborate with the state of California, and in ways that will help World Univ & Sch a lot, after all these years * * * WUaS and Wikidata * * * Planned online medical schools, with online teaching hospitals, for online clinical care and research with financing questions, With regard to the companies you mentioned (Walmart, Nordstroms, and Amazon), I'm curious, brainstorming-wise again, how the WUaS Press/Bookstore might make all kinds of hospital technologies available, and in all 200 countries' official/main languages, and even in all 7000 living languages, if helpful



Dear Jonathan and Mary, (and Bob, Rob and Roland),

Thanks for your excellent Stanford Medicine presentations yesterday, and nice to meet you afterward -

https://twitter.com/HFMA_NCA/status/1110678472769208320. I'd like to ask a few further questions, and share with you about World University and School's planned online medical schools, with online teaching hospitals, for online clinical care and research. I'd also like to share with you about WUaS's online planned Press, Bookstores/Computer stores/Robotics' stores - and for hospital technologies as well. Both are planned in ~200 countries and potentially 7,111 living languages. WUaS is a university and wiki schools' internet platform, and is like CC-4 MIT OpenCourseWare in its 5 languages, with Wikipedia in its ~300 languages - planning free-to-students' degrees in all 7000 living languages - with machine translation. 

Here are the beginning CC-4 MIT OCW-centric WUaS Medical Schools https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/World_University_Medical_School & Hospitals https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Hospital. And re research, for example, here is an interesting wiki subject at WUaS https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Brain_Computer_Interface (with many more here - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Subjects) - to give you an idea of how wiki WUaS will work for students taking courses toward degrees, where they / we can also wiki-add resources. Check out the CC-4 MIT OCW on some of these pages.

You'll find Chair of Stanford Medicine's Bob Harrington MD's somewhat related Tweet (to the Tweet above with your names) -

https://twitter.com/HeartBobH/status/1110912795242045440 - right near yours here - https://twitter.com/WorldUnivAndSch - currently. Bob and I are in communication about CC-4 MIT OCW-centric World University and School of Medicine, and Stanford Medicine, - and since MIT doesn't have a medical school (or a law school), World Univ & Sch is seeking to emerge out of Stanford Medicine for OpenCourseWare or similar for online medical degrees in all ~200 countries' official / main languages. 

Jonathan, with regard to your slide "The Value Proposition: Speed to health at the lowest possible cost, (re these 3 variables: Health, Speed, Cost)," I wonder what you think about whether "Who defines value?" might further be the health care providers who create the information technology for this (including with regards to creating the machine learning and A.I.)? And, conceptually, further, I wonder if the information technologies that WUaS is planning - in part in a realistic virtual earth (am thinking in addition to Google Streetview with TIME SLIDER / Maps / Earth / Tensorflow / Translate, and also at the cellular and atomic levels.  +) and with Stanford's/Duke's/Google's Project Baseline (think A) physical samples for 10,000 people who come into clinics, B) translated into data, and then into C) a pathway to health ... and then, potentially as I see it, into avatar bots in some years, and even for tele-robotic surgery, for example, ... and especially into online hospitals) -  and with Project ECHO (re MD specialists to rural populations in group video conferencing - with a mentoring aspect ... into online medical schools, defining online medicine anew) . See too, for example - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2018/04/lady-slipper-orchid-uscf-duke-univs-rob.html (and the "surgery" label here too) - where Rob Califf MD at Duke University is also a colleague and friend of Bob Harrington MD (and where Bob Harrington used to work as a cardiologist).

How to conceive of this further in the building out of such information technologies re this recent Stanford Medicine Tweet -

https://twitter.com/StanfordDeptMed/status/1111025603065475073 - and potentially with Stanford Medicine pilot programs in California, Oregon, and even brainstorming-wise online in each of all ~200 countries - re your specific knowledges, Jonathan and Mary? 

(Here are some Stanford video talks about Projects Baseline and ECHO, by Baseline's Chief Medical Officer Jessica Mega MD - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2017/11/mesic-habitat-stanford-surfacing-human.html - and by ECHO's founder Dr. Sanjiv Arora MD here - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2017/06/torrubiella-stanford-grand-rounds.html - and with a compendium of related links here - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2018/02/lithops-collaboration-between-stanford.html). 

Mary, in asking about your plans for artificial intelligence with machine learning re all the agencies you've worked with, I'm curious, again brainstorming-wise, how to explore building in to online hospitals for online clinical care and insurance+/health care finance relationships with such agencies and re artificial intelligence, and research. Might it be possible even to explore such hypothetical pilot programs to explore tele-robotic surgery emerging out of Stanford Medicine and their surgery simulations? And, Jonathan, with regard to the companies you mentioned (Walmart, Nordstroms, and Amazon), I'm curious, brainstorming-wise again, how the WUaS Press/Bookstore (a for profit general stock company as a legal entity) might make all kinds of hospital technologies available, and in all 200 countries' official/main languages, and even in all 7000 living languages, if helpful. 

So conceptually how to plan with this building out of the internet / these information technologies' ideas for creating value by creating a single realistic virtual earth / VR (Google-centric, am thinking again Google Streetview with time slider / Maps / Earth / Tensorflow / Translate – and at the cellular and atomic levels too, and with oceans and countries’ territorial boundaries/mapping/modeling – and especially for online great CC-4 OpenCourseWare-centric great universities with medical (and law) schools for peoples in all ~200 countries' languages and with online teaching hospitals for clinical care in all ~200 countries official language including eventual tele-robotic surgery, for ex. – and with individuals as avatar bots, and species' avatar bots, and with evolutionary biology etc. for research and veterinary medicine, +). And would it be possible to work even with the medical wing of national security / the armed services re coding for such information technologies, - and how to plan for this?

(Jonathan, here's the Lake Oswego native cyclamen nursery I mentioned yesterday -  

Thank your for your very edifying presentations yesterday at Stanford Medicine, and very nice to meet you afterward.

Thank you very much Scott for your thoughtful email. Let me review and be in touch very soon!

Scott,
I wanted to share a link to one example of how AI was used by my last organization (Molina Healthcare) and by many more payers. AI is key to the production of accurate Provider Directories https://medium.com/@caqh/can-ai-fix-healthcare-provider-directories-eb55c0616c78?sk=2a95a8062e7579e26ae2e4cecafd0351
In terms of how AI is being used by providers and payers in the treatment or care of patients I will refer you to my colleague Jon who is more familiar with the firm he mentioned Tuesday. That company ingests millions of lines of data to help predict which procedure a patient should be pre-authorized to receive based on predictive analytics. 
Best of luck to you in your research and projects!

Mary, and All,
Thanks so much for your 2 quick responses. Have blogged about this here - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2019/03/prothonotary-warbler-bppe-licensing.html - with some further accreditation info below. WUaS's online medical school and online teaching hospitals for online clinical care and research would be licensed and accredited by different organizations, not CA's BPPE (which is for Bachelor and Ph.D. degrees in English in CA to start). All of this has AI and machine learning implications re Stanford Medicine and World University and School Medicine. Thank you.
Best regards, Scott

Thanks so much for additional info Scott!

Mary and Jon, 
Thanks for this timely and topical article. This gets into questions too of Electronic Medical Records, and also WUaS PLANs to code for learners / teachers in all 7111 living languages and 200 countries, as well as for all 7.5 billion people on the planet (as wiki learners / teachers at WUaS) and re medicine. All of this has relevance for health organizations and coding for payers and payees re AI and machine learning, Stanford Medicine / Google's Project Baseline potentially into online hospitals in many languages / Google's TensorFlow and World University and School. 
Best regards, Scott

*
And even for a single cryptocurrency with blockchain ledger backed by some number of ~200 countries' central banks, and perhaps distributed via Universal Basic Income experiments ... and re WUaS's plans to offer free-to-students' (seeking reimbursement for 200 countries' governments since in building on CC-4 MIT OpenCourseWare in 5 languages, WUaS can't ask for tuition) online degrees (Bachelor, Ph.D. Law, M.D. and I.B. high school in all ~200 countries and ~7000 living languages) - so free-to-students' highest quality universal education - re coding for AI / machine learning and payee / payer financial health information. 

Will add some of this to the blog entry. 

Sincerely, Scott

Jon and Mary, and All, 

One further question: Re your mentioning Walmart, Nordstrom and Amazon in your presentation, Jon, how do you envision these models working with regard to payer / payee health financing and your value proposition? 

Brainstorming-wise and conceptually re AI and machine learning, the WUaS Press / Corp (an educational services' bookstore / robotics' store/ / pharmacology company / hospital technologies' store (with an extensive research wing) + and especially as a for profit general stock company,) seeks conceptually with Google TensorFlow to generate a stock price in each of every one of ~200 countries' official languages, in the ones which have stock markets or emerging stock markets. At the end of each day, this would generate potentially 200 stock prices in 200 countries. 

WUaS in our law schools would also seek to offer courses in how other companies and teach how stock corporations could become listed on any number of stock markets too via TensorFlow. If TensorFlow were also providing the machine learning for a single cryptocurrency backed by some number of countries' central banks (think the Euro in 19 out of 28 countries, but newly as a single cryptocurrency with blockchain), this would conceptually make TensorFlow a remarkable generator of AI financial value. And all of this would affect health care financing from your knowledge-base as well.    

Jon, how further do you envision a corporation approach informing the value proposition you outlined 2 days ago. 

Thank you again for your very edifying presentations. 

Best regards, Scott

Dear Larry, 

It's funny that the BPPE licensing application will give WUaS a GREAT opportunity for WUaS to collaborate with the state of California, and in ways that will help World Univ & Sch a lot, after all these years ... yet it's a slog. Am posting item 12 below from - https://www.bppe.ca.gov/forms_pubs/approval_nonaccredited.pdf - to show you what I mean.

Re World Univ & Sch and connecting "front end" with "back end" re WUaS donation for co-development to Wikidata, and then getting WUaS Miraheze MediaWiki, I searched on "Wikipedia's MediaWiki as "front end" Wikidata/Wikibase as "back end" how does this work?" and found a conversation from 2017 re this here - https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Project_chat/Archive/2017/01 ... Perhaps WUaS will develop more specific uses of WUaS Miraheze MediaWiki as "front end" Wikidata/Wikibase as "back end" as we do the CA BPPE licensing application and WASC senior accreditation process.

Am interested further in differentiating Wikipedia in 300 languages as "front end" with "back end" from WUaS Miraheze MediaWiki re "front end" with our potential Wikidata "back end" re, for example - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/World_University_Medical_School ...

I think I'll begin with just 6 undergraduate degree programs, per your catalog of some years ago, and then think in terms of 6 Ph.D. programs initially for planning purposes, but see what emerges and how extensible this will be re CC-4 MIT OCW's ~32 departments online. Thoughts, ideas, questions?

And thoughts about item 12 below? (While some of the BPPE application is tuition oriented, I think WUaS will write in response to these questions, something like "Since WUaS is CC-4 MIT OCW-centric, and seeks to get reimbursement from departments of education of many governments, these questions are not applicable - like question 12.2 below ...) Thoughts, questions, ideas?

The CA BPPE app is a writing opportunity to create and realized WUaS further!

Sincerely, Scott



12. INSTRUCTION AND DEGREES OFFERED (5 C.C.R. Section 71210)
Identify and describe the educational program(s) the institution offers or proposes to offer.
If the educational program is a degree program, identify the full title including the name of a specific major field of learning involved, which the institution will place on each degree awarded.
List the following for each educational program offered:
1. The admissions requirements, including minimum levels of prior education, preparation, or training;
2. If applicable, information regarding the ability-to-benefit examination as required by section 94904 of the Code.
3. The types and amount of general education required.
4. The title of the educational programs and other components of instruction offered.
5. The method of instruction.
6. The graduation requirements.
7. If the educational program is designed to fit or prepare students for employment in any occupation, identify each occupation and job title to which each educational program is represented to lead.



To begin WUaS will offer 6 undergraduate degree programs - https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1VRHhXYsk-V9lvSh5onaU2hnEhwoapSN7HyBK1P09LIk/edit#gid=1316151271 (http://worlduniversityandschool.org/) - and then think in terms of 6 Ph.D. programs initially for planning purposes, but see what emerges and how extensible this will be re CC-4 MIT OCW's ~32 departments online.

Hi Jon and Mary, 

Thank you again for your very edifying presentations at Stanford Medicine recently. 
Jon, how further would you envision a corporations' approach potentially into stock prices for online companies in a number of different countries - e.g. https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Nation_States - informing the value proposition you mentioned? Thank you again so much.

Best, Scott
