Anna Smith, Co-Founder of the most beautiful game UnicornGo, today writes an open letter to Tony Fernandes. Here it is:

“We really appreciate you. We like your openness and approach to business. We like the airline Air Asia, as we live in Asia and often use its services. It is accessible and easy to use. We also enjoy admiring the beautiful air hostesses, because Air Asia is the only company where you can see air hostesses with their hair let down.

We are inspired by the story of success of Air Asia, and because of this have created an Air Asia branded unicorn just for you in our game UnicornGO and we really think that he looks like you.

All unicorns in the game that will breed with the Air Asia unicorn will have a chance to get the Air Asia logo that will be placed on their body. We think this is a fun way that Air Asia can benefit from it.

We know that you are only just introducing yourself to cryptocurrency and are probably not yet ready to get into it seriously. We offer to start with your own branded unicorn on the blockchain of UnicornGO. We will happily transfer your Air Asia unicorn to your account, as soon as you register in the game UnicornGO and let us know your ID.

We are always glad to discuss details with you or answer any questions that you might have about blockchain or cryptocurrencies at the Hard Rock Cafe in Kuala Lumpur

PHILADELPHIA -The ABIM Foundation has received a third round of funding from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF) to continue efforts to promote the implementation of Choosing Wisely®, a national campaign focused on advancing a dialogue between clinicians and patients about what care is appropriate. The $750,000 grant will be administered over a three-year period.

The new grant dives further into implementation of Choosing Wisely recommendations, with a focus on sharing what the Foundation has learned about implementation and improving reach to diverse populations.

This work will include expanding:
A learning network to support health systems, hospitals and clinical practices seeking to reduce overuse based on specialty society recommendations
Partnerships and collaborations to reach diverse audiences
Efforts to evaluate and disseminate the most promising systems-based interventions to de-implement unnecessary services

“Choosing Wisely started with conversations between clinicians and patients and has grown into a dialogue across communities and states,” said Dr. Richard J. Baron, President and CEO of the ABIM Foundation. “For the next phase of the campaign, we want to ensure that ongoing conversations include everyone, especially those in underserved areas, and continue to drive reductions in low-value care.”

This work will build on two previous Choosing Wisely grant cycles:

In 2013, RWJF funded the work of 21 projects led by state medical societies, specialty societies and regional health collaboratives to educate physicians about the Choosing Wisely recommendations and help them build skills to have conversations with patients.

In 2015, a second grant supported seven initiatives focused on reducing utilization of inappropriate tests and treatments. Each initiative included delivery systems, hospitals and/or medical groups collaborating with multi-stakeholder, community-based groups and physician-led organizations.

“Patients and clinicians need tools and resources to help them have conversations and make informed decisions about care aligned with what matters to patients,” said Susan R. Mende, BSN, MPH, senior program officer at the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation. “Especially for underserved patients, we’re seeking ways to make sure care is equitable and delivered in ways that respect the goals and needs of patients and the expertise of clinicians.”
