#Makeadecision
The mind is very powerful.
We often under-estimate its power.

Once you decide to #makethechange you can take the necessary steps to make it happen.
But first you have to decide

These words are from my patient who lost 40lbs and lowered his Triglycerides from 619

#RealDeal or an Imposter?
How  can you tell?
We have so much information available to us which is great until it contradicts or conflicts each other.
This seems to be especially true when it comes to your health and more specifically your heart's health

@nationallipid A10 When patients tell me something very personal and sad that has shaped what they believe. At those times they have trusted you deeply and value your support and need to feel you care for them #NLATwitterChat #NLACOVID

@umdpharmd @lipiddoc @foundationofnla @TheFHFoundation @fhpatienteurope Yes @umdpharmd We send via secure messaging or use snail mail if needed. I still use visual aids with the camera since I use a laptop and can move it around the room #NLATwitterChat #NLACOVID

@lipiddoc A6 Important to have a plan to communicate with patient before the visit/set expectations about the technology and that they will be called at the time of their appointment. Important patient understands how it will be used/it’s a billable service. #NLATwitterChat #NLACOVID

@nationallipid A5 After doing a televisit most patients make their next appointment a televisit.
Many patients who feel sick or are concerned about getting sick convert their appointments to televisits so they can stay home. #NLATwitterChat #NLACOVID

@nationallipid A5 Convenience; don’t have to take time off/No travel time/No wasted time in waiting room/No feeling “confined” in an exam room. They can be at home or even while on a break from work. It’s like house call. #NLATwitterChat #NLACOVID

@braun_lynne @braun_lynne Good question Right now many co-pays are waived during the PHE. From an NP standpoint, some payers say no copays to see an NP#NLATwitterChat #NLACOVID

@nationallipid A4 much of the new technology has additional fees for the bells and whistles that need to be mindful of cost
#NLATwitterChat #NLACOVID

[AzLipidCenter @AzLipid]

@nationallipid A4 Our EMR charges for telehealth services/add on fees/is not easy to use. The software I use for hospital billing has HIPAA compliant message/video calls for the virtual visit and for communicating with patient without any additional fees. #NLATwitterChat #NLACOVID

@braun_lynne A3 We mail/fax/digitally send lab order and they can go to lab of their choosing.
We have lab in office on a day where no other providers are in so it’s not crowded. We also have a service that will go to the patients home if they feel comfortable. #NLATwitterChat #NLACOVID
