We need an all hands approach to making our front line health care workers, nursing home staff & docs feel safe. Period. If not they will agitate & many wont show up. People who can change this are aware and need to step up. 7/

The issue of hospital capacity is a real problem. I will share this now pertaining to NY because Governor Cuomo shared these numbers today. Brace yourself. The green and yellow bars are how many ICU beds (w vents) are needed. See the little red line? That’s how many we have.10/

#SocialDistancing crucial for #COVID19 even when testing more widespread and folks get neg tests. Why? #EBM — PCR specificity is very high, but sensitivity of nasal swabs isn’t as great (and test performance NOT being reported well!). Lots of FN possible, so self-quarantine pls!

South Korea continues to show signs that its epidemic is abating, today reporting 74 new cases. Their massive testing effort aimed at identifying and isolating infected patients was no doubt a key part of their success in combatting virus, as were their early mitigation steps.

On behalf of everyone at PCP, please know we’re here for you and are eternally grateful for your work on the frontlines of healthcare. primarycareprogress.org/covid-19-messa… #covid19 #coronavirus Andrew Morris-Singer

GREAT interview w @danielmhorn theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/… in The Atlantic on immediate need for #SocialDistancing to stem #COVID19. we need to talk to our employers, friends, family, co-workers to influence their behavior! NOW!

ALL of us have a story of our experience with Covid. Tell it here: covidstories.ihi.org We are working with Intend Health Strategies and Institute for Healthcare Improvement (IHI) to create a COVID public awareness movement so that these stories are heard Don Berwick Andrew Morris-Singer

This week, we at Ariadne Labs and Surgo Foundation released a Vaccine Allocation Planner for states and cities to plan #COVID19vaccine distribution. As you start working with it, you realize just how wrenching the choices are going to be. covid19vaccineallocation.org

Health care workers need rescuing. It's time for a Dunkirk moment - STAT. Many thanks to ⁦@BrianSSouza⁩ ⁦Intend Health Strategies⁩ for the collaboration on this piece #physicians #burnout #healthcare #meded statnews.com/2022/05/06/hea…

Elevating the importance of #BuildingTrust between patients, their institutions & colleagues as an essential organizing principle is a key component to addressing the growing burnout epidemic accelerated by #COVID19. Andrew Morris-Singer STAT statnews.com/2022/05/06/hea…

"...factor in the general failure of these approaches is that they did not acknowledge and address the needs of health care workers for meaningful connections with their patients, their institutions, and their colleagues." And that's why we need programs like #3rdConversation!

The foundation of #primarycare is relational, the basis of #trust. When both are present, #pophealth and #equity improve. See this great article by Andrew Morris-Singer in @stat on this topic. @sinsipuede SiemonSays Asaf Bitton Richard Baron Julie Schilz Kevin Grumbach @FMresearchplcy

2+ years into the pandemic, it’s time to acknowledge that health care professionals are not an inexhaustible resource. Real change is needed to make sure that those who care for others, are well-cared for themselves. Implementing great ideas below will make a big difference.
