@MelodyMontgom @USHealthPolicy Great Q. EHRs include common fields (info types) but manage them differently. Not uniform yet.

@TreedinAA Great story on the first public H1N1 vacc effort in Washtenaw Cty. Let me know if you need help with pub Qs about H1N1.

[Matt Davis, MD, MAPP @MDHealthPolicy]

...this H1N1 virus has surprised medical and public health experts in key ways - timing of year, age groups affected, etc.

[Matt Davis, MD, MAPP @MDHealthPolicy]

...for more people, will there be enough H1N1 flu still going around to make it worth getting vaccinated? I say yes, mainly because...<cont>

[Matt Davis, MD, MAPP @MDHealthPolicy]

Of course, these are good ideas to stay healthy at any time, whether vaccinated or not. Question is: by time H1N1 vacc is available <cont>

[Matt Davis, MD, MAPP @MDHealthPolicy]

Given supply<<demand for H1N1 vaccine, public will need to continue careful hand-washing, covering coughs, staying home when sick<continued>

[Matt Davis, MD, MAPP @MDHealthPolicy]

Pres. Obama declared H1N1 (swine) flu a state of emergency today. Not because of more severe flu, but because it's so widespread.<continued>

[Matt Davis, MD, MAPP @MDHealthPolicy]

@UMHealthSystem It has been a pleasure. H1N1 flu is truly a challenge for everyone; sharing good info is key. #H1N1swinefluchat

[Matt Davis, MD, MAPP @MDHealthPolicy]

@UMHealthSystem Seasonal flu vacc is NOT expected to provide protection against H1N1 flu. #H1N1swinefluchat

[Matt Davis, MD, MAPP @MDHealthPolicy]

@Virgo12345 I say to patients: reactions to H1N1 vacc appear generally same as reactions to seasonal flu vacc. #H1N1swinefluchat

[Matt Davis, MD, MAPP @MDHealthPolicy]

@stove037 Given current levels of H1N1 across the US, I would advise getting the available vacc now. #H1N1swinefluchat

[Matt Davis, MD, MAPP @MDHealthPolicy]

@UMHealthSystem ... very young children (<5 yrs old) and older children with heart and lung conditions. #H1N1swinefluchat
