Very pleased to be a (small) part of this work. Inequities in rural healthcare are are significant and deeply personal for me and I'm really grateful to contribute to work shining a light on how our most vulnerable populations are affected. #hospice #palliativecare

Nice illustration of the reason why diagnosing information preferences is a really important step in both prognostic disclosure and decision making #palliativecare #shareddecisionmaking

Deeply embarrassing and so so disappointing. Do better Dartmouth.

So deeply proud of our team's work here. Shoutout to @macmartinmd.bsky.social for leading this paper. And to @dartmouthhealth.bsky.social for creating space for us to innovate and delivery truly patient-centered care when folks need it most, during serious illness. #hpm

Dr. Catherine Saunders delivered an inspiring Grand Rounds at Dartmouth Heath! She shared patient-centered strategies for measuring and improving serious-illness care experiences, including consideRATE questions and visit agenda-setting. Exciting patent engagement work! 🐝 🐝 🐝

Hi #PalliativeCare friends, I'm piggy-backing on #hapc25 to ask a clinical question: For those of you who work in inpatient or #hospice settings AND have access to palliative sedation, are you required to obtain written informed consent before implementing palliative sedation? Would love to know!!

More evidence that private equity and hospice are a poor mix Hospices owned by private equity provide inferior care compared to non-profits across multiple measures Well-being of our loved one at end of life should not be sacrificed for investor profit jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...

Wrote nearly a full solid first draft of a paper about using #consideRATE in our freestanding hospice and palliative care center today. Excited to share more about using patient-centered experience measures to improve care. #prem #palliative #hpm Go @hexlab.bsky.social

Started the day with a great talk by Yael Schenker, and have been thinking about this quote since. We're still not in a place where skilled end of life care is just offered to all who need it, but we're getting closer. I'm grateful to be part of that effort #palliativecare #hapc #hpm

I finally made the move and in just a short time it feels like MedTwitter USED to be - I've really missed having a global community to learn and share with. Thanks to @ctsinclair.bsky.social and @ehahnmd.bsky.social for the nudge to get over here. Looking forward to #hapc chat tomorrow!
