Extremely humbling to be part of this amazing group! Can’t wait to see what future classes are up to! #CCPRFSummit2021

[Citizen CPR Foundation @citizencprf]

We’re thrilled to recognize this year’s 40 Under 40 class! Our 40 Under 40 committee had to review an impressive number of nominations, and we can’t wait to see what these leaders do next to guide the future of SCA. #CCPRFSummit2021

(on a personal note: excited to see our @Health_Affairs study on worsened patient reluctance to seek care being referenced by @ReedAbelson! can't help but to feel good about seeing your research motivate positive change in the world! very much a dream come true!)

[Christopher Sun @clf_sun]

not sure if its more upsetting that this policy even existed or that its under the guise of reducing avoidable ED use. if that were the goal, pulling the rug from under patients def not the way to go! try pt. education + management of ambulatory care sensitive conditions instead!

[Sarah Kliff @sarahkliff]

UnitedHealthcare was planning to deny coverage for ER visits they retroactively decided were not emergencies.

@ReedAbelson started asking them questions about the policy — and now it's on hold.

Some non-research highlights from #CORS2021 days 2&3!
-educators on AI/ML’s place in OR curriculums (ft. survey results from attendees)! panelists from @UMontrealDIRO, @iveybusiness, @uoftengineering, @WaterlooENG took a deep dive on the tension of how to add innovative… (1/X)

[Christopher Sun @clf_sun]

do get reviewed by one shared interdisciplinary peer review committee though🤔… Regardless, exciting news for collaboration driven researchers! (3/3)

[Christopher Sun @clf_sun]

-The charming virtual hangout world of https://t.co/i5qdKVsHzs. Nothing is as quite as amusing as 8-bit avatars and fluid video chatting, and nothing warms my heart more than getting a chance to see old friends (esp. during the pandemic!) (3/3) Can't wait for #CORS2021 Day 2!

[Christopher Sun @clf_sun]

A few personal #CORS2021 Day 1 highlights:
-@phebe_vayanos on AI/OR for social good! for those w/ "use-inspired" research mindsets and that strive to make real world impact, this was the session for you! (s/o to all the other applied researchers out there!) (1/X)

[Christopher Sun @clf_sun]

-During the Canadian Healthcare Optimization Workshop: @SPOClab’s on how explainable AI is going to be the norm/expectation moving forward in healthcare (if it isn’t already) and how “the right to explanation” is already being formalized in AI/ML regulatory documents! (2/X)

[Christopher Sun @clf_sun]

That feeling when a journal asks you for a revision, but you have to go through your old uncommented code to respond.

[Christopher Sun @clf_sun]

Kicking off the account with some new research done in collab w/ Boston EMS! Found surges in cardiac arrests were strongly associated with reluctance to seek care - please take care of yourselves out there!

[Health Affairs @Health_Affairs]

In an article published ahead of print today, Christopher Sun of @MIT + coauthors examine cardiac arrests in the early phase of the #COVID19 pandemic in Boston, MA. Their findings suggest that many patients were reluctant to obtain needed emergency care. https://t.co/VeBTb8ycKO
