Excited to share our paper ⬇️ using a pharmacoepidemiologic approach to look at polypharmacy rates in kids with #obesity. Kids w #obesity had ⬆️ polypharm compared to those without obesity, esp asthma and psych meds! MattHallStats James Antoon, MD, PhD, MPH Samir S. Shah Sonya Tang Girdwood 鄧 智佳, MD, PhD Derek Williams

Really proud to finally have the #RCT I did as a #PHMfellow at VUMC Division of PHM & PHM Fellowship published in JAMA Network Open. We found that a 5 minute hospital discharge communication intervention including teach-back and show-back significantly reduced liquid medication dosing errors for kids

I'm thrilled to be joining a fantastic group in Nashville at VUMC Division of PHM & PHM Fellowship as Division Director of Pediatric Hospital Medicine, starting in August 2024! 🔥🔥🔥 #thisisfire

An #AHRQ-supported study finds that health literacy-informed tools can cut medication dosing errors by half in children post-hospital discharge. Learn more about the effective use of pictograms and teach-back methods in JAMA Network Open. #BetterCare pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38227315/
