Qualitative study: Institutional plans for health care crisis conditions during the #COVID19 pandemic did not protect frontline clinicians from having to allocating scarce resources. ja.ma/3PkoX9F @katebutler Ann O'Hare

'[Triage] fell pretty squarely on the point-of-care providers...I feel psychically distressed'. Institutional pandemic plans must align with the complex and dynamic conditions that clinicians face in real-world crisis conditions. UW Nephrology

So cool to witness the beginnings of a project that's clearly going to be important for patients. @Yuv90 presenting at UW Nephrology grand rounds on his work to improve access to home dialysis. Ann O'Hare Penn Kidney

Inspiring talk at UW Nephrology grand rounds by visting prof Rachel Patzer, PhD, MPH emphasizing the need for system-level and upstream interventions to improve access and equity in kidney transplant. (And she also managed to sprinkle in some epidemiology classics!)

Amazing how much can get done in 1.5 days! Wonderful to be in a room w/such thoughtful people for this #kdoqi workgroup on pt-centered measures kidney.org/news/nkf-leads… @NKF suzanne watnick Dan Weiner @MiriamGodwin4 Kirsten Johansen Deidra Crews, MD, ScM, FASN, MACP Jesse Roach Mary Beth Callahan Glenda V.

Entirely proud to see Ann O'Hare recognized for her leadership in person-centered care. After years of her mentorship, I'm still learning about what it is to truly approach discussions with patients and families (and colleagues, mentees, friends...) openly without agenda.

Thanks for highlighting this issue at the intersection of #healthequity and #PersonCenteredCare , Healio! Ann O'Hare UW Nephrology J Randall Curtis Amaka Eneanya, MD, MPH

Difelikefalin: A Novel Therapy for Dialysis Patient Care

'It will take time & effort to scratch the proverbial itch on behalf of patients w/CKD-aP most in need of novel therapies like difelikefalin, but the time & effort can pay off'

Kidney failure and dialysis can mean incredible psychological and social challenges, but our healthcare system may not sufficiently support minoritized racial groups in coping with these challenges.

“This was a setting to try to operationalize a process for making life-and-death patient decisions in a way that most medical professionals have never faced before,” said lead author Dr. Kate Butler. #crisiscare #COVID19 bit.ly/3ry7spN UW Nephrology UWbioethics

No clinician wants to have to decide who will receive scarce resources. WA State triage team simulations illuminated a clinically and ethically complex task. #bioethics Kelly Vranas @laurabwebster Douglas Diekema JAMA Network Open UW Medicine Northwest Healthcare Response Network ja.ma/3xzuOPs

Qualitative research is a crucial tool of medical science. It is a shame many of the highest impact general medicine journals publish virtually no qualitative research. This impedes the development of medical science.

So great to join .Dale Rogers, .@sastrut, and .suzanne watnick to talk #KidneyHealth with lawmakers from Idaho, Oregon, and Washington.

It's an honor to work with such amazing advocates, together we can achieve #KidneyHealth !

A huge gap between theory and practice is a barrier to designing plans for scarce resource triage. WA state has taken a first step by actually testing an approach to deploying triage teams. Critical Care Explorations Northwest Healthcare Response Network UW Medicine journals.lww.com/ccejournal/Ful…
