#clinicalinformatics community should advocate for amending #HIPAA to require specific consent before sharing records about abortion-related care. We must protect women and clinicians. thieme-connect.de/products/ejour…

@what_raja_says @DashaCohen @AMIAinformatics So very true

@vumcdbmi @embimd @TNHIMSS @VUMChealth That's wonderful. We need you, Peter, in places like this!

@CKuziemsky @MacEwanU @ConversationCA Wonderful points, Craig et al. So relevant now!

@choo_ek Great story. Yes, medicine is keeping up with Fax technology... a hundred year old invention

On the phone to initiate a medical leave request and I can't move forward because I don't know my orthopedist's fax number. In the Year of Our Lord, 2022, a fax number is required.

@trentrosenbloom @ReedOmary Fabulous

@ReedOmary I captured this via a combination of an iPhone and right place / right time.

And then this happened.

@RajRatwani And they don't fit in your wallet unless folded awkwardly. So non-standard and not as usable as it could be

Forget about heath data standards…even the #COVID vaccine cards are not standard sizes!! What??? FAIL

@HardeepSinghMD @JPatientSafety @deansittig @DBatesSafety @RajRatwani @Ted_Melnick @jsancker @bfm @ChristineSinsky Wonderful work. Thank you for sending it. And for your work

Systematic review of safety impacts of information overload in EHRs @JPatientSafety Only 29 studies met inclusion criteria over a decade. Likely not because evidence is little but because how little funding investment has been made in this type of work journals.lww.com/journalpatient…

@LisaRotenstein @JAMANetworkOpen @Ted_Melnick @ChristineSinsky See below: promised ref: Physicians’ gender and their use of electronic health records: findings from a mixed-methods usability study. Khairat et al. JAMIA 2019. Found women MDs more efficient at EHR use than male MDs. Less angry at EHR. Usability study in "lab" study.

🚨New today @JAMANetworkOpen: In ambulatory physicians across specialties, women physicians spend MORE time on the EHR overall, after-hours, and on notes per 8 scheduled hrs despite seeing slightly FEWER patients on average bit.ly/3uqhLgb🚨@Ted_melnick @ChristineSinsky

@LisaRotenstein @JAMANetworkOpen @Ted_Melnick @ChristineSinsky Very interesting research. We published a study that found women physicians were more efficient in their use of the EHR than were male docs, spent less time to achieve the same accuracy, and were less angry at the EHR; probably because they were more efficient. Next post w/ ref

@DrJoelGelfand @UPennDBEI @JulieSzymczak Just so wonderful and well deserved.

@UPennDBEI @JulieSzymczak Woo hoo! Congrats @JulieSzymczak #proud

🎉Congrats to @JulieSzymczak, nominated by the Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS) to serve on the Presidential Advisory Council on Combating Antibiotic-Resistant Bacteria — and sworn in today! hhs.gov/ash/advisory-c… #AntibioticResistance

@subhaairan only two?

Anybody else take 2 mugs of coffee to work? One for the ride and one for while there?! #MedGrind #Longdays

It really freaks me out seeing patients who had such mild, borderline asymptomatic COVID come back with just fibrotic and basically non-functional lungs months later

New article in "the Conversation" about how the FDA warnings on antidepressants for teens backfired severely, reducing all care and increasing youth suicides. theconversation.com/after-the-fda-…

@RajRatwani @GoyalEM @pfps_us @PAPATIENTSAFETY @ECRI_Org @TheIHI @NPatientSafetyB Such a well known danger...and yet it....

How are these similar packaging issues still happening? @GoyalEM shared a stocking issue where pediatric chest tubes were stocked where adult tubes should have been. Similar packaging. WHY? @pfps_us, @PAPATIENTSAFETY, @ECRI_Org, @TheIHI, @NPatientSafetyB any insights here?

@mandl @aneeshchopra @AaronNeinstein @j_r_a_m @jirjis_jim @DShaywitz @ONC_HealthIT So pleased you pointed this out. C Wright Mills often said that the truth was often published in newspapers and press releases...but you had to read between the lines.

Measuring the information economy Cures Act requires SMART/FHIR APIs "ONC explained that program priorities for the developer measures have evolved to focus on providing insight into functioning and performance of the marketplace." Yes. Marketplace. healthit.gov/topic/certific…`

@RajRatwani @cathymcmorris @Cerner @DeptVetAffairs So true and so resisted by the powers that be. Somehow knowing about errors will violate IP. Why protect the IP of systems that hurt patients. Don't we want to improve healthcare and reduce errors?

#EHR safety is critical & @cathymcmorris raises important issues with @Cerner @DeptVetAffairs implementation. This is the time to aggregate EHR safety data across facilities to identify where major safety issues reside so we can prevent harm. bit.ly/3Lt5JKP
