Predictors of ≥ 30 day delay in starting curative-intent cancer treatment in an urban community-based academic center varied by cancer site but include care coordination, clinical, and socioeconomic factors. ➡️ https://t.co/gUAgX4lYcz @RishaSheni@drvikasmehta

Delays in time to treatment initiation (TTI)—the interval between diagnosis & first treatment—can have serious consequences.
Dr. Vikas Mehta & @RishaSheni@EinsteinMed propose making TTI a metric to evaluate #cancer centers & identify quality care. 🧵👇

Had an amazing summer working with the Healthy Library Initiative team! Grateful for this experience and will definitely be looking back on the @LDISUMR Program for years to come @CPHIatUPenn @PennLDI
Very excited to see my fellow @LDISUMR Scholars present this week! Each scholar will be presenting the research projects they have been working on for the past 12 weeks. Check out the @PennLDI website to see all of our presentations.
Had an amazing day shadowing the Primary Care Team at the VA in West Philadelphia today
This was a great opportunity to learn about the VA’s Addiction Recovery Unit and integrative pain management @LDISUMR
Explored the Eastern State Penitentiary today where I learned about the history of this prison and the state of mass incarceration in the U.S. @easternstate
Learned a lot this week shadowing at Kensington’s @PreventionPP, a harm reduction organization and free clinic @LDISUMR @CPHIatUPenn
