"In emergency medicine.... We don’t have many formal processes for real-time, peer decision support. Providing it virtually is really smart. I could see this evolving to a state that connects clinicians at scale," says @agarwalEM. Read more from @PennLDI ⬇️
A new study from Damon Centola (@DamonCentola) found that physicians participating in an information-sharing network improved their diagnostic accuracy.
He and Anish Agarwal (@agarwalEM) discuss the study and its application in real-world practice here: https://t.co/QtLyhC8sAd

Loneliness doesn't only hurt mental health. It's also a risk factor for physical health.
90 studies, 2.2M people: loneliness and social isolation predict mortality from cancer and all causes, even after controlling for health conditions.
Human connection is vital to well-being.
Today @theNASEM I shared a bit of what we’ve discovered related to opioid disposal.

There is an underexplored intersection of workplace violence in health care, patient equity, and how we respond. Learning with intentional focus on ways to keep our teams safe by listening is important.
We sat down with ER nurses to talk patient flags
