Student loan forgiveness for healthcare workers would be 1000x better than a “Heros work here” sign

Family members are integral to #ICU care but were unable to visit their loved ones during the pandemic - I'm excited to share a tweetorial on our recent #COVID19 study in @ATSBlueEditor

[JAMA Network Open @JAMANetworkOpen]

Survey study of US intensivists shows highly variable implementation of shared decision making during end of life conversations during a high fidelity medical simulation. https://t.co/zwFrjJovft

[Scott Vasher @SVasherMD]

Conclusions
1. Intensivists' self-assessment of how well they implement shared decision-making communication guidelines may not reflect their colleague’s assessment.
2. Intensivists most commonly highlighted choices about code status and recommended continuing current care.

[Scott Vasher @SVasherMD]

We also categorized the transcript text participants circled when asked if they highlighted a choice or made a recommendation. The most common choice involved code status, and the most common recommendation was to continue current care.
