Dr. @LJSigman recently helped write a new policy statement from the @AmerAcadPeds expanding upon the 2016 version related to error reporting culture. The updates emphasize disclosure and reporting as an automatic and embedded practice.

We are experiencing exponential growth of #COVID19 as a country. In short: things are bad and getting worse. They will continue on that trajectory before getting better.
If we want to change our approach, we will find a way. If we do not wish to do so, we will find an excuse.

My latest @NewYorker piece, in gestation for a couple years now, as you’ll see. Something to read about other than the election, at least. It is on the state of health care information technology. In other words: newyorker.com/magazine/2018/….
