@gopTODD Teaching folks to fish won’t help if they don’t have access to the ponds, or inadequately regulated corporations have either destroyed the ecosystem or poisoned the fish with pollutants.

How would your paradigm shift if you viewed life as a playground rather than a battlefield?

@gopTODD What’s your point? Vote for Trump? No way!

View your community hospital as a fragile Mayflower that other hospitals would like to see float away. If physicians and administrators are not working together, then our community hospitals are sinking ships. Dr Steve Berkowitz #ACHECongress2019 #bestpractices #cost

[Christine VanDeWege, M.Div. @ChristineVanDW]

Physician employment is a tactic but not a guarantee of engagement. Employment creates a culture that divorces MDs from healthcare’s financial outcomes. Dr Steve Berkowitz #ACHECongress2019

[Christine VanDeWege, M.Div. @ChristineVanDW]

Cost is healthcare’s blood pressure: not just a number, but an asymptomatic warning there’s a problem and we will have a stroke. We cannot sustain the costs of healthcare. Dr Steve Berkowitz #ACHECongress2019

Guidelines for guidelines: 15% of patient care needs to deviate from guidelines bc each case is different #ACHECongress2019
