Just got my copy of @AnupamBJena @ChrisWorsham “Random Acts of Medicine.” Can’t wait to crack it open. These two are among the most original thinkers in healthcare at a time when we need people who look at problems differently.

Nuclear power could be as cheap as coal, and vastly safer and better for the climate. But it is eye-wateringly expensive because we have regulated it badly.
The answer, argues @johnrmyers, is to allow US states to create regulatory sandboxes for nuclear.

THEY DID IT!!! Washington @MomsDemand and @StudentsDemand volunteers just helped pass HB 1240, which prohibits the sale and manufacture of assault-style rifles, including semiautomatic rifles with detachable magazines.
The bill is now headed to @GovInslee for his signature. 💪

Why #family #caregivers are a critical component of clinical care. They can add a dose of reality to the judgement and opinions of the professionals. #healthcare

We're down to 1 effective monoclonal antibody Rx
"only one that has shown remarkably preserved in vitro activity against all #SARSCoV2 variants, including the omicron variant and the most recent BA.4 and BA.5 subvariants that are now becoming dominant."

Lots of organizations virtue signal on healthcare disparities.
Proud the team @scanhealthplan committed to making a real difference and reduced medication adherence disparities among our minority members.

How long do we Isolate⁉️
NEW DATA @NEJM
Only HALF of patients stop shedding #COVID (current wave) at day 5.
If 1 in 4 patients w #Omicron are still shedding culturable virus on day 9, why is @CDCgov still recommending stopping isolation at day 5?

Let’s start the day with some #enthusiasm.

I’m so delighted for @hadeosun as @careacademyco raises $20M in New Strategic Funding Led by Goldman Sachs Asset Management. Educating and building career paths for home health aides. Bravo!! careacademy.com/about-us/new…
Worth the read. Glad to see more voices including @DavidCGrabowski elevating the need to better support #family caregivers. Doing so improves the health of the elders (and children) they support, too, as @sacjai and I wrote about a few years ago.
Many patients are family caregivers. The unmet needs of caregivers have been compounded by COVID. In new @Health_Affairs Forefront led by @TamrynGray, we examine how key stakeholders can advocate for policies that support patients who are caregivers

For my network: Kaiser Health News wants people's input as it prepares an in-depth dive into long-term care costs with the New York Times. If you have a story to share, please let us know.
Reupping this request for folks to share their experiences accessing and paying for LTC. And tagging giants in the field to ask for help spreading the word. Thanks in advance.

.@sacjai .@DavidCGrabowski Might be of interest, a #delirium assessment tool. From the family caregiver perspective, #delirium is often mistaken for #dementia. More education is needed for family unit
👇yes it is! Go to the AppStore and search under Delirium. You will find the UB CAM there! It’s free of charge. @agilis @MarcantonioEd
