A year ago I started posting a thought for the day with the word THRIVING. To start a RECYCLING program I want to consider how we are THRIVING now compared to one year ago.

THRIVING is growing or developing well, prospering, flourishing. I wrote that we are well recognized for the work we are doing and the work is valued. DynaMed Plus is replacing UpToDate at a growing number of institutions. The THRIVING continues. The American Medical Association (AMA) now provides DynaMed Plus to its membership.  And I just spoke last Friday to physician leadership in Italy as they now subscribe to DynaMed Plus for all doctors in Italy, about 400,000.  We continue to grow and are tackling more complex medical information challenges across guideline development, shared decision-making, and clinical decision support.

I hope you are personally THRIVING as well.
