That gut-wrenching feeling when you admit a patient to the hospital with COVID in April who has been eligible for vaccination since January. A missed opportunity: for access, for equity, for education.

When admitting a patient with COVID who “didn’t have a chance to get vaccinated yet” and feels miserable, turn them into an ambassador. Ask them to call their unvaccinated friends and family from their lonely hospital room and be a vaccine advocate. It works. Sometimes.

@DGlaucomflecken Placement in acute or subacute rehab centers. If our physicians and physical therapists who are seeing patients daily think a patient is not safe to go home, infuriating that an insurance “peer” feels qualified to make a different assessment. just leads to longer LOS which is $$$

Just stumbled upon my resident evals from this year, my first at @WeillCornell . Glad to see they identify my love of teaching, attn to detail, dedication to patient care. But we share frustration that I can't finish rounds on time! Any tips on efficiency (w/o missing details?!)

When Epic automatically identifies a hospitalist as a patient's PCP......time to invest in outpatient care management/readmission reduction/social support/all of the things that might help keep people from coming back to the hospital.
