.@KGoldMD et al has published an @AnnFamMed paper finding patients prefer fast portal messaging from their own primary care doc vs. faster in-person or video visits w/ another doc. This highlights rising demand for messaging & clinic workflow challenges. michmed.org/PYqv9
Our new study of 2,268 FM patient out now in @annfammed finds most preferred portal messaging with their PCP over waiting for a video or in-person visit. annfammed.org/content/24/1/2…

This study found that #PrimaryCare patients prefer their PCP for routine & chronic care, willing to wait weeks for certain concerns. However, only 7.2% would wait for urgent issues, favoring the first available clinician.
As urgent care rises & health systems prioritize rapid access over continuity, this study suggests these shifts may not align with patient preferences, which emphasize trust and continuity over convenience. @umichmedicine

Why do we make patients wait - innovate new ways of dealing with continuity and demand the systems we work in let us have the autonomy to try them. No more call centers, no more dial sequences, just staff and clinicians making it work. @AAFP_advocacy @pcpcc

If patients prefer their personal physician, why are practices not organized to assure access and continuity? We owe it to them. @PCPCC @AAFP_advocacy
Convenience or Continuity: When Are Patients Willing to Wait to See Their Own Doctor? annfammed.org/content/23/2/1…
Most of the 4,795 patients we surveyed preferred to wait to see their Primary Care doctor for check-ups, follow-ups, sensitive exams and new health concerns. Convenience or Continuity: When Are Patients Willing to Wait to See Their Own Doctor? annfammed.org/content/23/2/1…

🆕Our researchers, incl. Program Mgr @johnholk, created an electronic health record system to manage high-priority in-basket messages. All docs shared inbox access & workload on a rotating schedule. Results: Reduced feelings of burnout. @AnnFamMed paper: bit.ly/3UXpkZ3
Could physician burnout be reduced by answering each others' urgent in-basket messages? But of course! Our innovation article is live in the new issue of Annals of Family Medicine: annfammed.org/content/22/3/2…

Navalny stood out among the Russian opposition for being a political animal. He was interested in power, agency, change - not merely moral condemnation of the Putin regime.
