@mmamas1973 Agree 100% - ESPECIALLY when I hear disease-first descriptors like epileptics, diabetics, rheumatoids, etc. #PatientFirstLanguage

Good to read that mental health apps like @talkspace have done a good job in providing a shift to their consumer’s (not patient’s) behavior health

This is a really thoughtful article laying out some of the challenges with virtual behavioural health. Still, there's benefits too, and I see a lot of value in hybrid models (some in person, some digital). It's complicated. Plus the main image is 💯 thecut.com/article/mental…

We're so excited to have @DrAngelaFitch (@massgeneral, @harvardmed) join us for a #HMDFacDev Conference today on Zoom from 12:00 -1:00 PM! #PatientFirstLanguage @AJenkins_MD

@MiriamETucker We shouldn’t be using that term. We don’t say morbidly diabetic or morbidly hypertensive. Also, he has obesity. #patientfirstlanguage

Come on @MedscapeEndo. You can do better.
Younger coronavirus patients in the ICU tend to have higher rates of obesity.

So here we go, first up is @ProfBatterhamMD talking about the importance of the patient voice from @ObesityEmpower, the complexity of #obesity, discussion about the @NatureMedicine consensus status & #patientfirstlanguage

Also can’t forget the disheartening and offensive “Sickler” for those pts coming in w/acute chest
❌ Cirrhotic
❌ CHFer
❌ Diabetic
❌ Vasculopath
❌ Schizophrenic
Although often done for efficiency, these terms impart bias on our pt’s care

Language is important. It is a patient with asthma, not an ‘asthmatic’. A person with cystic fibrosis not a ‘CFer’ I’m working on changing my language. It’s hard because these terms are so pervasive in medicine but I’m trying to be mindful. #medtwitter

Yes, you are correct.
Patients have a disease, are not their disease. #patientfirstlanguage

Gonna post every question that starts like this because I think it perpetuates stigma. “23 y/o overweight black woman”

@raphaels7 @virtahealth Have you actually done this with a patient in clinic? If not, this is simply your opinion, please stick to your expertise area & leave dietary advice to #dietitians
And for reference we try and use persons first language, people with diabetes not diabetics! #patientfirstlanguage

Please be aware of appropriate terminology for patients with mental and cognitive illnesses. Our science is vital to moving treatment and understanding of their illnesses forward, but so is how we discuss these patients in our writing. #PreciseLanguage #PatientFirstLanguage
English
Agree. Especially important with multiple comorbid conditions with our patients. Vital to look at what is most important to them. #patientfirstlanguage

🤔is it time to move away from “Chief Complaint” and instead use “Concern to be Addressed”? Semantics, I realize. But negative words like “complaint” frame our mindset
