Team-based care is the future of health care. Physicians. Pharmacists. Community health workers. Human-centered and tech-enabled.
That was part of my message at the Life Itself conference in June. Walmart is on a mission to improve care for everyone. cnn.com/videos/tv/2022/07/07…
Great to see more work aimed at developing meaningful quality measures to assess our orientation around what matters hcinnovationgroup.com/policy…
A great chance to reflect on mastering the crucial skill of rapid code status conversations with @KeiO97 @EMpallcare and @zirulnik from @EMRES_MGHBWH

Despite evidence to support basic safety practices, we see a failure to implement them reliably. Quality and Safety in Clinical Operations (June 8-10) will present these challenges with practical solutions. buff.ly/3uHTeok @AaronsonMD @ElizabethMortMD

Thank you @IHI and @LeapfrogGroup for outlining TOP 5 areas of safety focus for 2022 in @BeckersHR, including integrating equity into safety work, tackling diagnostic harm and ongoing work to reduce HAIs among others. Lots of good work to keep doing!

New @Health_Affairs study shows Black patients had *2.5 times* higher odds of negative descriptors (eg "non-adherent,” "agitated”) in EHRs even after SES/risk adjustment.
Concerning for racial bias/racist thinking by docs/RNs

"The health care system is facing a critical staffing shortage, fueled by many resignations from burnout during the pandemic, and resulting in the loss of approximately 700 medical/surgical and intensive care hospital beds since the beginning of 2021..."

This syst rev of of SBAR highlights importance in QI work of assessing implementation fidelity. Studies of SBAR often fall short in terms of getting staff to use SBAR as intended, never mind substantially improving communication.

With the evidence mounting that advanced care planning may not yield the outcomes we imagined it would, it's imperative that we muster the strength to re-think our quality measures to reflect the evolving science @NatQualityForum @CMSGov
3. @judith_graham talks to experts like @jatulsky and @AriadneLabs Jo Paladino about the paradigm shift that may steer us away from ACP as we once knew it ow.ly/q2HW50HpK8Q
2. A thoughtful reflection by @danielalamasmd builds on the other published pieces this month painting the picture of when we might have had it all wrong with Advanced Care Planning in @nytimes ow.ly/9hNC50HpIAW
1. Important viewpoint about ACP by @DianeEMeier @rabob and R. Sean Morrison in @JAMA_current : painting the the picture of “science working” - a logical hypothesis, studies trying to answer sound questions, and now evidence that suggests it doesn’t have the desired effect
What's the role of advanced care planning? It's not as clear cut as many think. A handful of new reflections out this month explore different ways this dogma is being called into question (see the following posts for a few great ones!).
Important recommendations paired with provocative and thought provoking reflections from @kgshojania - why bother with incident reporting? and, do the problems of IR signal a deeper problem within the field? Important questions to consider in @tjcjqps ow.ly/g4G050H2tV1

CMS is testing a "carve-in" of hospice into Medicare Advantage. What might this mean for the EOL care of our patients?
