@nxpatel @saranormous My students are going. We should reconnect on the surgical informatics and AI work we’re presenting.

[DBMI at Harvard Med @HarvardDBMI]

REMINDER: The way to attend the leading event on AI in medicine @SAILhealth #SAIL24 May 7–10 in Río Grande, Puerto Rico, is to submit an abstract by this Friday 1/19 to present at podium or poster! Top selections receive travel awards from @NEJM_AI.

@docmartin22 @hayfarani Going from 30 to 10 pills for a lap chole is not driving transition to illicit opioids for vast majority of patients. For most, it’s just more concordant with needs. That fear is addressed by personalized multimodal prescribing over simple reductions for high risk pts/procedures.

@elliotthaut @TSACO_AAST @ashlie_nadler @injurydr @Sunnybrook @MartyMakary @HeidiOverton @hayfarani @topknife @JosephSakran @DrJtrauma @kadtraumamd @MarkBicket Most likely and depends on the reference used, if any. Our Annals paper this month shows opioid consumption for multiple procedures, including laparoscopic surgeries, is lower than even popular consensus recommendations. Personalization is important. https://t.co/6Kjiepm2xD

Once upon a time, we didn’t have MRIs, we didn’t have electronic medical records, we didn’t have dermatoscopes. Medicine is always evolving with new tools. AI algorithms are tools that can help us - we have to figure out which ones are actually helpful and adapt to using them.

I won’t poo poo any optimistic sign when the hospital is so full of sick people.

What did I say last Friday about the Boston area peaking? The wastewater data are in, and the news is good. @MWRA_update and @BiobotAnalytics providing solid evidence, that importantly *can't* be put down to exhausted testing capacity or other factors 1/n

[DBMI at Harvard Med @HarvardDBMI]

Happening now -- it's not to late to join the webinar!
Hear from members of 4CE ("foresee"), the international Consortium for Clinical Characterization of COVID-19 by EHR.
Speaking now: @bratogram on clinical perspective.
Next up: @avillach & @ftbourgeois on pediatric studies.

📰Just out…our Fall/Winter issue of "Inside Surgery!" Read about alum Dr. Martin Dib, Dr. Gabriel Brat’s research, faculty & trainee achievements, new clinical services, our newest research fellows, & much more! https://t.co/bnksuV0Uv9 @BIDMChealth

[Gabriel Brat @bratogram]

Looking forward to this conversation with friends and colleagues. I’m always ready to evangelize about the bright future of data science in surgery.

[Surgical Outcomes Club @SurgOutcomes]

SAVE THE DATE! Fri., Feb 4, 2022 Half Day IN-PERSON Meeting in Orlando, FL Panel on Predictive Analytics and Artificial Intelligence in Surgical Care ft @MeguidRob, @ColbornKathryn, @bratogram, @callcura along w/ an update from several talented and accomplished #ZinnerFellows

[Health Affairs @Health_Affairs]

In their new blog, @Jayson_Marwaha, @jhalamka, @bratogram, + William J. Gordon from @BIDMChealth, @MayoClinic, + @harvardmed discuss why administrative + billing codes are foundations upon which data is generated + used to inform public health decisions. https://t.co/0fiKmP5hnO

@c3K @zakkohane @dunemovie Didn’t people say that about the 1984 version?

🏥🚨New surgical opioids preprint out - targeted learning quantile regression with EHR predictors to estimate nonresponse-adjusted procedure-specific #opioid prescribing guidelines w/ @bratogram @Jayson_Marwaha @KortneyR10 et al. @BIDMCSurgery @HarvardDBMI - via @ildiazm’s method

[Jayson Marwaha, MD MSc @Jayson_Marwaha]

The @surginformatics lab at @BIDMCSurgery has been busy. Excited to be presenting projects at @AmCollSurgeons #ACSCC21 and more at #QualitySafety21 on safe post-surgical opioid prescribing, surgical consent, and other topics!

@AndrewLBeam @kat_heller @tw_killian Variable meaning/use of diagnosis codes is why I focus on procedure codes for surgery (as well as being a surgeon). Surgery codes have their own problems, but they are consistently documented and are great interventions or outcomes. Less fumes when cold steel is required.

@MaartenvSmeden We had the same thought so we’ve been building the technology. https://t.co/FJ1sJ0fM0r Automatically collected patient data + sharing among international group of experts = 4CE consortium. 7 countries, 300+ hospitals, hundreds of data scientists. @zakkohane @i2b2tranSMART
