** Innovation That Matters (http://www.1776.vc/reports/innovation-that-matters-2016/)
------------------------------------------------------------

Donna Harris & Patrick McAnaney, 1776

We are at the dawn of an extraordinary technological revolution, and it is transforming every part of the U.S. economy. In the same way a handful of cities became major commerce centers in the industrial era, new cities will emerge as leaders in the digital economy. Yesterday’s expertise will not guarantee tomorrow’s economic wins. Without leaders who understand this and act to help their communities transition, cities will fall behind.

Innovation that Matters examines and ranks 25 cities’ readiness to capitalize on the inevitable shift to a digital economy. It carves out critical trends every U.S. city leader can learn from and offers recommendations local leaders can adopt to strengthen their region’s digital competitiveness.

** Can Health Data Save Us From Medical Errors? (http://www.1776.vc/insights/medical-error-death-healthcare-data/)
------------------------------------------------------------
A recent BMJ report suggests that medical errors cause more than 250,000 deaths in the United States every year. Before the 250,000 number becomes a widely accepted fact, it warrants critical review.
