Hospitalist & CMIO - Focused on how technology can empower our care teams (including patients)

[Bob Wachter @Bob_Wachter]

Let’s focus today on a single question:
If you’ve already gotten 3 shots (I hope you have: see Figure below), should you get a 4th?
The answer has become more complicated in the past few days, as new Israeli data points to a benefit for a 2nd booster (aka, shot #4). (1/25)🧵

With 105% increase in new #COVID cases in past 2wks, this would be a great time to reinstate the #telehealth licensure waivers. Out-of-state patients shouldn't have to choose between care and travel risk. @TheFSMB https://t.co/hR9XNjDSjp

S/p 5 days back in the COVID unit, I have plenty to say about COVID care but would rather remind people of the following… had rejuvenating conversations and thank yous with environmental services, food & nutrition, phlebotomy and nursing staff this past week.

T1: One key silver lining through the pandemic has been the embrace of #virtualcare. Key to not let that embrace go!!
