Excited to have the beginning of APP optimization efforts at @ChildrensPgh published this week!
Integrating Advanced Practice Providers into value based care strategies: One Organization's Journey to achieve success through interprofessional collaboration sciencedirect.com/science/ar…
We have the technology to mute a meeting attendee. This leads me to believe we have the technology to turn off their camera, as well, yet here we are letting people accidentally turn their phone camera on and having no way to help them out before something mortifying happens
After dedicating 20hrs last weekend to homework for a single class, I’m pleased to announce I received the lowest grade on my assignment that I’ve received on anything since high school all because I submitted it on time, as opposed to ahead of schedule 🫠

20 yrs ago today @carolmaemae1 founded the #PedPC program @ChildrensPgh. Now, we see over 10k patients per year, have trained 13 peds fellows, mentored learners of all backgrounds, & have have 2 NIH funded scientists. And today, we became a division in @PittPediatrics. #soproud
So grateful that I got to work with Dr. Colleen Mathews during her PHO fellowship.
This plant with the initials of all of our shared patients over the last 3 years was the most thoughtful gift 🥺 She’s simply the best and I’m THRILLED she’s staying with us as faculty!

Kudos to #AKimRitchey 2023 Distinguished Career Award recipient. Award nominators shared he is a ‘beacon of excellence’ who held important and impactful roles in PHO and created a new paradigm in tx of ALL with CNS relapse - among his many accomplishments. #Standingovation 👏

Backorder of multiple dosages of #Hydroxyurea 🤦🏽♀️
Still dealing with #Penicillin shortage in #Indiana😖
Using term “backorder” instead of “shortage” prevents action by @US_FDA to make manufacturers fix the problem. 😡
People w/ #sicklecelldisease deserve better from all of us.
Congrats, Amy!!! It’s really incredible getting to work with Amy clinically. She truly goes the extra mile in all that she does and is so deserving of this award!
Congratulations to Amy Bassi, CRNP in @PedsHemeOncPGH, recipient of the UPMC Physician Services Extra Mile Award! We are so proud of you, Amy…thank you for all that you do!!

#HappyDoctorsDay
I am truly so fortunate to work with the most amazing group of physicians in @PedsHemeOncPGH. I wouldn’t be who I am today without them and our patients are in the very best hands in their care!
Also…peep the CBC (cookie blood cells) of appreciation 👇🏼👇🏼
#HappyDoctorsDay to the incredible doctors we have the privilege of working with and learning from every day!
S/O to Nicole Jativa, CRNP for showcasing her culinary creativity with this blood cell cookie order from the @PedsHemeOncPGH APPs to celebrate the #PHO faculty & fellows
