Here's a video I made breaking down this very important ventilator graphic from a patient who was intubated for airway protection. Your ability to understand these principles will save lives!

@KendrickLimDO@CMCEM @TCOM_UNTHSC @TexACEP@texACEPstudent@emresidents@AOAforDOs @ACEPNow Hey @KendrickLimDO congrats! I’m putting together an interview workshop for EMRA members on 9/14/23 and would love to have you talk about your experience applying last year. Let me know if you’re interested and we can chat further
🚨If you’re a resident, fellow, or new attending physician w/ federal student loans🚨
Most of you will get a $1,000-5,000 bill in the mail when payments begin in September if you don’t make a plan.
This will be financially catastrophic for many.
Here’s TL;DR ⬇️

How to be hyper-efficient in #Epic#EHR — from a physician #informaticist who loves to flyyy on shift🧵
1️⃣ Smartphrases are the #1 documentation efficiency. Use a standard naming convention so you can find it quickly. I use:
.dc*** for discharge instructions (ie .dcviral, .dcchestpain)
.proc*** for procedures that aren’t smart blocks (.proccpr, .proctriggerpoint, etc.)
.hpi*** for standard history where I mark *** to cue the parts to fill out (.hpimvc, .hpitransfer, .hpistd)
.mdm*** for risk calculators that aren’t in Scoring Tools (.mdmPerc, .mdmCanada, .mdmHasbled, etc.)
2️⃣ Macros: same concept as smartphrases, but used for smart blocks (the click-buttons in Notewriter for Exam, ROS, Procedures, etc.)
3️⃣ Ctrl-space bar opens up a search function where you can search the entire chart. I.e. I’ll search “creatinine” to see if careeverywhere (OSH) has a creatinine documented outside my system to compare a baseline, or search “cancer” if a patient says they had cancer and I can’t figure out what type
4️⃣Epic has a whole free training series called “Power User” geared at clinicians of small 1-hour asynchronous topics of how to maximize efficiency. Pick and choose what’s relevant to your context/specialty. Check it out! https://t.co/NWYGiHfMeD
5️⃣Talk to your local Epic builders (called application analysts) or your Epic trainers/educators. There are a TON of customizations the system can do. Automated-drop-in’s (called CER rules, but basically like IF a patient has a systolic BP>140, THEN drop in a phrase mentioning you acknowledge and address it by ***), customizing your trackboard/patient lists, building data elements behind drop-downs (smartlists) so you can report on it, and overall helping you decrease clicks!
Epic is highly customizable, just need a clinical champion to work with analysts to understand where builds can help clinical workflow!
There are many more “hacks”, these are just some of my favorite!
(And, no conflicts with Epic, it’s just my favorite EHR out of Cerner, Meditech, Medhost, etc…)
Interested? Think about #informatics as a field OR talk to your local friendly physician informaticist (often CMIO at a hospital system!)

Instant Pot parent company declared bankruptcy today.
Sales went from $758m in 2020 to $344m in 2022.
The Instant Pot is like a once-in-decade purchase, so PE guys tried to extend brand with Air Fryer, mini-oven and coffeemaker.
180% in utilization of ED observation stays over from 2006/7 - 2018/9. #Neurology complaints were an important driver. Great work by Andrew Luo. @EMRES_MGHBWH@AChouMD
