We spend hours documenting and maybe that’s the issue - we still think of the #EHR as a series of documents, each one carrying forward the prior. What if we could re-imagine the #EHR to be something else entirely? Like a timeline?
What % of #EHR text is directly duplicated from a prior note?
6 yrs
100+ mil notes
33 B words
192 B characters
Duplicated text ⬆️ from 33% in 2015 to 54% in 2020
Blocking copy forward is not the answer. We must reimagine #documentation

Residency applicants, you may certify and submit your MyERAS application before the MSPE is available. We have asked programs to keep in mind potential impacts of hurricane and tropical storm disruptions.
Our thoughts are with the people of Puerto Rico. Program staff, please remember residency applicants in PR may be facing challenges from hurricane damage. We are monitoring the situation and will provide updates and guidance as the application review and interview season begins.
Just a reminder that our UCSF dermatology informational session is tomorrow, August 30th! I can’t wait to see you there!

Harvard MBTA Station, Cambridge, MA 02163
A uniquely subterranean location, this Dunkin is an oasis nestled in the bosom of the Harvard Square MBTA station. The moment of joy when it appears at the bottom of the escalator cannot be replicated at other locations.
We’re so proud that Dr. Jack Resneck has been named president of the American Medical Association (@AmerMedicalAssn)! He's the first president of the AMA from California since 2007 and the first dermatologist since 1925. Congratulations, @JackResneckMD! https://t.co/Km5wghp4u6
I had a blast lecturing to the residents and faculty of @UCSF Dermatology. My first in person lecture in almost one year. Thanks so much for inviting me!
Grateful to be part of this inspirational mentorship tree where conversation ranges from conference pearls to hot sauce preferences to elements of successful mentor-mentee relationships. #pinchme#dermtwitter
@DrEstherFreeman@UCSF Aww thank you so much. I'm so excited to be co-chiefs with Herbert Castillo Valladares and to pay forward the incredible mentorship and support I've received
A lot of medical training runs on verbal and written feedback. This made me think about the feedback I’ve received and more importantly, how I can be more cognizant of the feedback I give. #dermtwitter#medtwitter
In this large-scale study of military performance measures, negative words — like selfish, passive, and scattered — were much more frequently applied to women. https://t.co/7JaHqJ4WxB
During the peak pandemic, I wrote about how tablets helped to connect isolated, hospitalized patients with their families. As we build our post-pandemic world, I hope this is one of the solutions that's here to stay. #medtwitter#dermtwitter@washingtonpost
In our latest @washingtonpost, we highlight how @BIDMChealth's tablet program has brought dignity to death during #COVID19. Let this not detract from our important conversation about racism, but help amplify our means to serve our marginalized patients.

What does it mean to launch a tool "meant to help patients" but shouldn't be used as a diagnostic? Google is launching Derm Assist, an AI tool for skin disease. While Google has certainly advanced the field of AI in dermatology, I have concerns. (a thread) https://t.co/Jn7nKJ5JRf
