Rising Stars
As the government accelerates the shift to electronic health records (EHRs), data is a valuable byproduct of that effort. Victor Lazzaro's job as chief of performance and data analytics at the Department of Health and Human Services' Office of the National Coordinator for Health IT involves finding ways to present and visualize data about the adoption of EHRs for the Health IT Dashboard.
His work has helped policymakers, the medical community and businesses understand how medical offices nationwide are implementing new technology.
"Industry is paying attention to us, and they're accessing our data because there is opportunity here," Lazzaro said.
His office tracks data on more than 400,000 medical providers nationwide. The dashboard presents information on trends in EHR adoption by region, medical specialty, demographics and more, but the data is anonymized to protect patients' privacy.

"I believe that the credibility of the data scientist identity is in understanding nuance in each stage of the production process, from idea generation to procurement [and] all the way through analysis and visualization," Lazzaro said.
Government officials hope that by tracking information in the emerging EHR market, some common standards will emerge that will allow the health care industry to adopt efficient, interoperable systems that can securely share patient records. Efficient records management could help reduce costs by preventing duplicate procedures or examinations and could help guard against negative outcomes such as dangerous drug interactions.
Lazzaro joined HHS in 2004 as a Presidential Management Fellow. Since then, he has had a number of jobs at the sprawling agency, including a stint at the Office of Inspector General. As part of the department's response to Hurricane Katrina, he helped establish a family call center to locate missing people, worked on a system to direct pledges of support to nonprofit organizations and contributed to the after-action report on the department's overall response to the disaster.
He said it is an exciting time to be working at HHS, especially given ONC's responsibility for implementing policy and monitoring the progress of $2 billion in grants to build a secure health IT infrastructure.

November 23, 2014
WEST VALLEY CITY, Utah (AP) - Police say they believe a missing Utah woman's brother-in-law was "heavily involved" in getting rid of her body.
West Valley police say the focus of the Susan Powell disappearance shifted to Michael C. Powell after Josh Powell killed the couple's two boys and himself in a deliberately set house fire 15 months ago.
Police held a news conference Monday to say they are closing the active investigation of Susan Powell's disappearance citing a lack of leads. They are also releasing the case file, which includes details that have been kept under wraps since Powell vanished in 2009.
Michael C. Powell killed himself Feb. 11 by jumping from a parking garage in Minneapolis.
Police have said they would reopen the Susan Powell case if they get new information.

Oatmeal, Pecan, and Date Sticky Biscuits
Published: October 2008 Servings: makes 8
- Nonstick vegetable oil spray
- 1/2 cup plus 1/3 cup (packed) dark brown sugar
- 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, diced
- 1/4 cup dark corn syrup
- 3/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups
- 1/2 cup diced pitted Medjool dates
- 3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 cups all purpose flour
- 1/2 cup quick-cooking oats
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 6 tablespoons (3/4 stick) chilled unsalted butter, diced, plus 3 tablespoons melted unsalted butter, divided
- 3/4 cup cup (or more) buttermilk
PREPARATIONView Step-by-Step Directions
Position rack in center of oven; preheat to 375°F. Spray 10-inch-diameter cake pan with 2-inch-high sides with nonstick spray. Combine 1/2 cup brown sugar, butter, and corn syrup in medium saucepan. Whisk over medium heat until sugar dissolves and syrup is bubbling at edges, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat. Whisk in vanilla.
Spread syrup evenly in prepared pan. Arrange pecans, rounded side down, in concentric circles in syrup. Mix 1/3 cup sugar, dates, and cinnamon in small bowl.
Whisk first 5 ingredients in large bowl. Add diced butter. Rub in with fingertips until coarse meal forms. Add 3/4 cup buttermilk and toss, using fork, until moist clumps form, adding more buttermilk by tablespoonfuls if dough is dry. Gather dough into ball; flatten into rectangle.
Roll dough out on floured parchment paper to 16x8-inch rectangle. Brush with 2 tablespoons melted butter. Sprinkle evenly with date mixture; press to adhere. Starting at 1 long side and using parchment as aid, roll up jelly-roll style. Cut dough log crosswise into 8 equal pieces. Place 1 piece, cut side down, in center of pan; arrange remaining 7 pieces around center. Press each to flatten slightly. Brush tops with 1 tablespoon melted butter.
Bake biscuits until tester inserted into dough comes out clean and syrup is bubbling thickly, about 35 minutes. Remove biscuits from oven and let stand 1 minute. Place platter over pan. Using oven mitts, hold pan and platter together and invert. Lift off pan; scrape syrup left in pan over biscuits. Cool at least 30 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature.
