@OHS_CT So happy to see the official launch of Connie - Connecticut’s nee state Health Information Exchange. It’s been many years in the making - so glad I could play a small part in helping make this a reality!

Primary Care Physicians Should Play Key Role in COVID-19 Vaccine Distribution https://t.co/6xiUwM83CJ

[Thomas Agresta @ThomasAgresta]

Agree Jacob - this is a payment issue - if that is resolved there will be incentive enough for continued and much needed innovation and additional transition to Teleheath and remote monitoring

[Jacob Reider @Jacobr]

Yes but story misses the point that ONC doesn't have authority to "incentivize." @donrucker quote is spot on: CMS (and commercial plans) can.

This is a very good response

[Thomas Agresta @ThomasAgresta]

@benmoscovitch Should be interesting to see how this plays out

[Jacob Reider @Jacobr]

The Review of Systems is not evidence-based, and (like oh-so-many other traditions) it persists at the core of what we call on physicians to do every day .. n times. #ashamed. https://t.co/P57eLgsjqP

Presentation to the leadership of our Family Medicine Departments - very fun - hope to see them make great changes for their patients and providers https://t.co/oKWpGaRa5L

Thank you Rep Courtney (CT) from the Primary Care Caucus for opening our #healthisprimary Hill panel today on primary care innovation

[Thomas Agresta @ThomasAgresta]

@aafp Best way is to demo and talk in person - like hands on museum... nothing more effective - but web-pages / blogs help #fmxchat

[Thomas Agresta @ThomasAgresta]

@techydoc Agreed - we need to have Fam Docs learn and lead these data analytics tools and learning healthcare systems #fmxchat

[Thomas Agresta @ThomasAgresta]

@techydoc Yes and involve their families seamlessly
Self management of disease is important
