#TipsForNewDocs Pt prescribed a med- on follow-up, is not taking it. Wrong: "Pt is noncompliant." Right: "Pt unable to take med because __. We discussed strategies including __." Don't start chart rumors - understanding problems >>>>> labeling patients. #kittlesonrules

Very proud of our own Dr. Jen Brody, Ayana “Get out & Vote” Jordan & Sarah Wakeman for this important, essential piece of writing from STAT. It's time to end the 'diagnosis' of excited delirium, as it is too often used to justify excessive police force. Read more: statnews.com/2021/04/06/exc…
