Oh boy, my read on this thread: we’re effectively returning to the backward state we used to be in. X-waiver gone in name only. Just replacing 1 barrier with another. Whose interests are we protecting here?—definitely not patients!

This 3 minute video from author accompanying editorial Annals of Int Med is priceless! As a pathologist, he apologizes to clinicians for contributing to the “daily digital fatigue” from the 20 lines of mostly useless info in a standard CBC with differential: acpjournals.org/doi/10.7326/M2…

Tele-emergency care (phone OR video visit with an ER doc) decreased ED visits by nearly half (35%->18%) among Veterans calling nurse triage and recommended to be seen within 24 hours.

When trying to find adverse events in healthcare, we know trigger tools are better than spotty manual review. Leveraging EMRs we’ve validated an electronic emergency department trigger tool (EDTT) across multiple sites! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/ac…
