Great talk by Kelly McMasters on distinguishing palliative treatment from palliative care. Surgeons get it! #GI19

So awesome that the keynote speaker at AAHPM is a surgeon!

Strength in numbers to get the IOM message out: how about joint press release from the 11 sponsoring HPM boards?

#IOMendoflife. Proud to be here at Natl Action Conf representing Am Coll of Surgeons discussing how to improve EOL care for all Americans

#IOMendoflife Sen. Warner: death = profit center for commercial payers when default at EOL is more intensive care which may be unwanted

Thank you Dr. Gawande for showing that surgeons have been and continue to be thought leaders on quality & compassionate care #iomendoflife

Dr. Cassel calls for quality metrics in EOL care. Why not start by rethinking emphasis on 30d mortality?#iomendoflife

AHA and others call for "appropriate " care use at EOL. Appropriate as determined by. ...THE PATIENT #iomendoflife

Quality metrics are needed. Who determines quality? Not payers, not prof orgs, PATIENTS.#iomendoflife

Agree with Dr. Wah- focus on EOL quality needs to stays on patients and not $. #iomendoflife

Appreciate Peggy Maguire's reminder that care, especially at the end of life, is personal #iomendoflife

Leadership lives in meeting hell. Lilly Marks #MidWims

Don't confuse the power of the position with your personal power. #MidWims

What is your leadership brand? #MidWims

Women in leadership need to learn to manage the transition from worker bee to queen bee. It's a new job- not the old job+new job. #MidWims

Advancement depends not only on skill, but on visibility. Volunteer to be on a committee, give a talk. #MidWims

Comparison is the thief of joy. Thank you, Sam - father of Lilli Marks #MidWims

Academic medicine: do we live in Jurassic Park or Sherwood Forest? Are we alligning our principal to our principle? #MidWims
