Pallimed

Since 2021, Medicare has been testing a pilot project (aka Medicare Carve-In) allowing some #hospice care to be administered by private insurance companies. Some of the goals are more flexible cost control and expanded acess. Must read for #hapc npr.org/sections/healt…

🎉 THANK YOU to each of you who renewed, joined again, or joined the AMA for the 1st time. Your dual memberships help #HPM have a voice & allow us to bring our patients’ voices to the table. Looking forward to the ongoing work of our @AAHPM delegates with the @AmerMedicalAssn.

At the bedside of a dying person… Family: doc, do you think he hears me? Me: likely yes😲👇🔗 Fascinating study 🔗👇showing that “hearing may indeed be one of the last senses to lose function as humans die.” The auditory systems of the dying persons just hours from end of life were responding similarly to those of young, healthy persons. Thanks for sharing, @EricGoodlev & @veladconmigo! #hapc #hpm #pallonc 🌐nature.com/articles/s4159…

AAHPM has urged DEA not to finalize proposed rules for telemedicine prescribing of controlled substances after the COVID PHE expires, as its plans don’t account for the unique needs of patients w/ serious illness or team-based care. Read our letter: bit.ly/40GcAHS #HPM

OK, so our April 1 offering may have been a bit foolish, but this month's real episode should more than make up for it: We're thrilled to present a conversation about #hapc with three amazing parents from @CourageousCPN, including @BlythCPN. Listen now at pedipal.org!

Here is the moment when Dr. G held her own book and demonstrated its portability 💜 @MourningDoveMed inaugural publication in paperback❕ “Dr. G’s H.O.S.P.I.C.E. Pocket Guide: 7 Things Hospice Physicians Need to Know to be Ready for Work” by Dr. Kaishauna Guidry, MD, HMDC #hapc

HOT OFF THE PRESSES! Patients overwhelmingly prefer immediate access to their test results - even if that means getting bad news! Major props to @TheLizArmy and team for putting this great research together. To my health care peeps: this is a GOOD thing! And an opportunity...

As doctors, we’re often more comfortable seeing blood than tears… Lacrimation sends us scrambling. (1/3 - thread since Twitter only allows 4 photos per tweet.) #hapc

Today in great articles from unexpected places, I present @mcsweeneys take on the battle metaphor in cancer: mcsweeneys.net/articles/an-op… #hapc #PalliativeCare #MedTwitter

1 thing I've learned: be honest with pts w/serious illness, but meet them where they are, not where you think they should be. #palliative
