I've decided that you're only a true internist if your reaction to an elderly patient's A1C improving (7.7-7.0-6.3) is worry.

It's August 2020; I just completed 2 wks of clinical service. We are still reprocessing #N95s in Boston. Why is it that #PPE supplies remain a concern 7m into this pandemic? @CDCgov @gregggonsalves @CarlosdelRio7 @CNN

Study focused on admitted “super utilizers” so it’s different from our ED Navigator program. And our ED Navigator program is looking at upstream factors some of which are the SDOH @LizzyCaf @jasonwasfy @JaroneLeeMD @WMaciasK @m_e_s_k @LucasCCarlson @AmyFlaster @salinabakshimd

It was fun writing about Mandatory Online Module Land! What a great way for health care professionals to spend time on "required learnings", gaining important and highly relevant knowledge! Visit today! Avoid being delinquent! Latest post: blogs.jwatch.org/hiv-id-observa…

I will say one thing about that recent editorial medtwitter is buzzing about If you are going to scoff at primary care and “population health” as emblematic of what’s wrong in medicine, you are saying that you only care about patients who can make it to your office.

this article is interesting but there’s something about “congrats to medicine, female doctors still have disproportionate childcare responsibilities & thus pick specialties that are more flexible & pay less” that doesn’t really feel like a win nytimes.com/2019/08/21/ups…

The Health Catalyst team rings the closing bell to celebrate our first day as a publicly traded company on @Nasdaq! #IPO #HealthcareIT #HealthCatalystIPO

I covered the pager of a young female colleague this weekend & it was... eye-opening. First, she gets a lot of pages, some about stuff I wouldn't be called with. Second, *everyone* - ER, Admitting, lab, nurses - paged with her first name. I get "Hey David" sometimes, not always.

@SouthlakeCEO @Southlake_News Congratulations @SouthlakeCEO @TCLChalk!

An exciting day as @Southlake_News and our partners are moving to the proposal stage of the Ontario Health Team process! Through collaboration we can end Hallway Healthcare in our part of the province and bring connected care to our communities. #byyourside

Productive workshop with OHT partners today focusing on developing integrated care management programs with @AmyFlaster from @HealthCatalyst. By leveraging lessons learned from 10 yrs of ACOs across the US, Ontario can accelerate impact #QuadrupleAim #ONhealth

1/21 “Is there a nurse or doctor on board?” Clinicians—have you ever responded to one of these? Last week I left the hospital and boarded a flight for my vacation. I then responded to the mother of all in-flight emergencies…

Do we call this micro burnout or just being overworked and frenzied? Patients with primary care clinic appointment times later in the day were less likely to be ordered for and receive guideline recommended cancer screening. ja.ma/2Jal45S
