@ChristyJWL @MCG_AUG Patients are rarely included in EHR implementation planning. When they are left out, there is a risk they will lose or mis-interpret their patient portal, have problems communicating w/their healthcare team & might be unable to schedule appts or refill Rx.

Timely piece for our health system at @MCG_AUG that’s approaching an EHR transition #healthcommunication

How can health systems proactively address patient needs prior to adopting a new #EHR? @GemmaeFix @VA_CHOIR @BUMedicine rdcu.be/djKZS

@AlisonCoganOT @VaProven I too loved working w/this team! Smart, organized, productive & just wonderful, wonderful colleagues. Hoping for more opportunities to collaborate on meaningful, patient-centered work to ensure EHR implementation considers patients!

Patient-Facing #EHR Implementation Lesson 3: Patients Need Guidance & Training on the New Patient Portal. Portals help pts track appts, order Rx & contact providers. Help patients learn how to use the new portal! Full text➡️ @JournalGIM rdcu.be/djtZY 5/

Patient-Facing #EHR Implementation Lesson 2: Information About an EHR Transition Should Be Clear & Reinforce Trustworthiness. Tell patients what is happening, when & why. Otherwise patients don't trust the system & worry about the security of their medical records. 4/

Patients are RARELY asked about their experiences w/an #EHR/Electronic Health Record change. @TMHaltom, @AlisonCoganOT, @slrshimada, @JADavilaPhD & I asked. Full text via @JournalGIM rdcu.be/djtZY @VA_CHOIR @IQuEStHouston @VA_CSHIIP @BCMDeptMedicine @BUMedicine 1/

@drdrtsai @Rachel_Hoopsick I have a paper w/one of those "mega" journals. 3+ months & has not been assigned an *editor.* I've emailed a few times & only received a generic response from the support staff. Similarly contemplating pulling my paper, but worry it's the same w/many other journals.

@SeanBruna @Hanelizqui Such a treat to brainstorm w/@SeanBruna about opportunities for #Anthropologists in government & healthcare systems! Looking forward to watching this community organize & grow.

@Fran_Nicosia FANTASTIC! 🎉

Great day for a #NewProfilePic since I have earned my silver strands and my promotion to Associate Professor 🥳🥂✨

@SarahJTracy Not sure if this is what you're looking for, but this paper incorporates fieldnotes: ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/P…

I'm searching for a recent published example of a qualitative essay to illustrate how you can sum up fieldnotes in prose, but also quote them directly. Please share if you have something like this and want it potentially featured as an exemplar of qualitative writing choices.

Even better than @AnnaMBarker's #ARM23 poster? I get to work with her on our many shared @VA_CHOIR projects. Her posters & presentations are consistently this good. Nice work, Anna!

"This most recent survey, known as HCAHPS (Hospital Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems), showed that the VA beat out private facilities in all categories surveyed, such as patient satisfaction, hospital cleanliness and communication with nurses and doctors."
