Thanks to everyone who stopped by our I DECIDE: LVAD posters by @kofi_larry and @colleenkmac at #AHA2019. A great opportunity to share findings/next steps and receive feedback/ideas! What were your favorite posters/talks this year? #cardiotwitter #LVAD

Reflecting on #SMDM19 last week - great panel with multiple stakeholders’ perspectives on value about cardiovascular procedures. Big theme: all people - even CFOs - care! Lots of opportunity and synergy for patient-centered care.

Risk and benefit are positively correlated, we think the are negatively correlated. Great point from Paul Slovic, keynote at #SMDM2019

Big problem: misalignment of attention, focus, and allocation of research and implementation dollars with public health impact. Unfortunate that, still today, prevention and addressing root causes cannot get the attention that downstream 'rescue' approaches do @impsci @re_aim

Excited to share I DECIDE: LVAD's work at the Society for Transplant Social Workers conference exhibitors' hall. We've already had several attendees sign up to receive free decision aid packets to share with their patients! #stsw
