 » Executive Summary: Diana Erani

#### On My Desk Right Now

A family photo of our trip to Chicago on the Skydeck Ledge with the glass bottom. I look terrified.

#### My Three Goals For 2018

**1. Be of service to community health centers** by providing useful IT solutions to emergent issues, such as supporting substance-use-disorder patients.

**2. Focus on IT security.**

**3. Integrate new types of data** to inform patient care.

#### Who I’m Following On Twitter

@NACHC, @TheOnion, @HIMSS, @HealthITNews, @ePatientDave

#### My Favorite Blogs

Engadget and The Verge

#### My Media Mix

**News:** NPR and Flipboard

**Podcasts:** Hidden Brain and Modern Love

**Music:** Greatest Hits of the 1970s and 1980s

#### What I Do When I’m Not At Work

Spend too much time at Costco, cook vast quantities of food for my large family (four children and a wonderful husband), not answer my phone

#### If I Weren’t Doing This, I’d …

… be the founder of a national organization dedicated to Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s famous words “Of all the forms of inequality, injustice in healthcare is the most shocking and inhumane.”

#### The Best Advice I Ever Got

Don’t let the perfect be the enemy of the good.
