https://lnkd.in/eJEkSEq4 EHR - hackable. extremely dangerous - some have too many "jellybeans" that contribute nothing. the charts are petrified in a way that increases liability. Try to print a patient chart from hospital - wasted pages - blanks - one data point per page sometimes. have to look through a mountain of useless words. No way to flag a chart for new orders on floor. Documentation in silos. It is good for prescriptions, scheduling and sending out bills. One hospital in SW Bklyn - uses an EMR that asks pts while in labor "are you right or left handed"? Seriously? These clouds - sell your data - use your data - all goes up without permission - and downloading is the only "permission" patients are giving - and they have no idea what they are signing especially LEP or non-English speaking. Who reads the EULA's really? Pen and paper. can't hack that. Stop with staff staring at computers and documenting templates and opening themselves to liability. We don't actually look up, go into the patient rooms to deliver care. Try to get meds out of a Pixis. the number of keystrokes it takes to admit a patient and the redundancy is crazy. Or at least make the EMR programs simpler.

https://lnkd.in/ecS_8ZJn AMA has a website for myth debunking.... Debunking the Myth CMS does not require physicians, other clinicians, or healthcare organizations to obtain patient consent for CCM on a regular, recurring schedule. Patient consent (verbal or written) is only necessary before the start of CCM services and if the patient changes to a new billing practitioner for these services. In the latter scenario, the new practitioner is responsible for obtaining patient consent before providing CCM services.1 Whether patient consent to receive CCM services is obtained in a written or verbal manner, it must be documented in the electronic medical record.2 Background CCM includes patient care coordination services such as care planning, care management, help with transitions of care, and support with achieving health goals while prioritizing continuity of care. CCM services are delivered by a care team led by a physician or other Licensed Independent Practitioner (LIP) and are typically conducted outside of regular office visits. Eligible patients have two or more chronic conditions expected to persist for at least 12 months or until their death which place them at increased risk of acute exacerbation and/or decompensation, functional decline, or death. Physicians, physician assistants, clinical nurse specialists, nurse practitioners, and certified nurse midwives may bill for CCM monthly if the services continue.2,3

https://lnkd.in/eqmnuAJc A new blood test that combines cell-free DNA fragmentomes and protein biomarkers to screen for ovarian cancer shows promising results, according to an initial analysis.  The researchers tested the assay in 134 women with ovarian cancer, 204 women without cancer, and 203 women with benign adnexal masses. The approach identified 69% of stage 1 cancers, 76% of stage 2, 85% of stage 3, and 100% of stage 4 at a specificity of over 99% and an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.97.
