Heard from @AHRQNews that the entire grants staff has been let go. They are unable to issue funds for grants already funded, let alone fund new grants. This will make Americans poorer and sicker. Why? A brief thread about just some recent AHRQ-funded research:

#ACC23/#WCCardio #JACC LBCT SimPub: An electronic alert more than doubled the prescription of a life-saving therapy among patients with heart failure. bit.ly/3mpWqTO #HFrEF #HeartFailure #HealthIT @AmritaMukhopaMD @SaulBlecker @LPhillipsMD @leorahorwitzmd @nyulangone

Electronic alerts substantially improved evidenced therapy in heart failure. Outstanding presentation by @AmritaMukhopaMD at #ACC23 and available at @JACCJournals

Digital design is key. Presentation of Better care-hf trial @AmritaMukhopaMD @leorahorwitzmd #ACC23

We have a hot topic alert on The Women’s Health Show #OnAirNow with Dr. Caren Behar! Do you have high blood pressure? Are you taking your BP medication properly? We’re talking to @SaulBlecker! Give us a listen siriusxm.us/DoctorRadio and give us a call 877-698-3627!

Great practical study @JCardFail by @ShannonMDunlay @SaulBlecker et al: 👉🏽 #FunctionNotFailure clinic visits work to optimize GDMT in HFrEF!

Can someone please explain this: A life has value at conception, but not when it's nine years old and sitting in a classroom? 😢

@JDodsonMD @briancapell @JDNewmanMDMPH @boback @djc795 @DocStrom @SophieBalzoraMD @JRayFalvey @MichaelGNanna @ErinMichos @itchdoctor @PlateletDoc @DaichiShimbo @adambress Do you have the frame by frame?

Lose a couple of million workers to early retirement here, lose a couple of million would-be immigrants there -- all of a sudden you're talking real numbers. A look at how America's tight jobs market today is a prelude to "perpetual labour shortage". economist.com/united-states/…

@G_Chander_GIM @UW_DGIM Congratulations! Amazing news!

@UW_DGIM So looking forward to joining you!

📣📣1/2 Have you heard our big news!?📰 Effective April 1, we have a new Division Head! Dr. @G_Chander_GIM will be joining us from Johns Hopkins University, where she is currently professor of medicine.

A lot of chatter about hospitalization "with" versus "for" COVID, implying current hospitalization wave isn't "real." NY state is going to start trying to report the distinction; UK already does. Some thoughts, with exemplar data. /1

8 yo champ with first vaccine. 11 yo waiting a few days because ‘I’d rather miss school than football’

Took a Twitter break for several months to help get @NIH #RecoverCOVID up and running to study #LongCovid (AKA #PASC). Thrilled to report @UTHealthSA @UHHospitals have enrolled our first 7 participants! Congrats to them and cast of 1000s working night and day to kick it off. /1

What's important to our Division? Mentorship! That's why we love putting on Hospitalist Career Mentorship panels for our @nyulangone residents. Shoutout to our diverse and inspiring panel of leaders! Take-home message: say "YES" and do important work that you love. 🙂

@CitiBikeNYC love that you’ve expanded to my block. But no needs assessment? There are 26 docks when 13 would do. Never seen more than 3 bikes. Please take extra docks away and bring more bikes!

@JDodsonMD @adambress @spjuraschek @DaichiShimbo @MinnowWalsh @DrDamluji @DocStrom @Samrachana_Adh @ajaysmd @k_stephensonMD @VijayKunadian Great work!!

It’s the most wonderful time of the year. #mulchfest
