The hallmark of expertise is no longer how much you know. It's how well you synthesize.

Information scarcity rewarded knowledge acquisition. Information abundance requires pattern recognition.

It's not enough to collect facts. The future belongs to those who connect dots.

[Greg Wallingford, MD, MBA @gwallingfordMD]

Incivility within clinical teams can harm our patients!

Fascinating that ONE rude comment can negatively impact the diagnostic and procedural performance of the recipient AND other members of the team.

Our medical culture and well-being impact our patients.

[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

Disrespect doesn’t just make people feel bad. It leads them to perform worse.

Evidence from medical teams: Even a single insult decreases the quality of diagnoses and procedures. Rudeness disrupts focus and undermines collaboration.

Civility is not optional. It’s vital.

[Greg Wallingford, MD, MBA @gwallingfordMD]

Encouraging to see physician burnout fall to 48% nationally, the lowest in 4 years!

This is significant improvement, yet our work is far from over. How can we support healthcare workers in pushing this down further?

[Greg Wallingford, MD, MBA @gwallingfordMD]

It's a story that many in healthcare can relate to: bravely locking our gaze ahead of us, sometimes at the expense of our well-being. Proud to share @campfiredoc's courageous story about his journey & what he's learned along the way! https://t.co/8AQDT6GTWx @DellMedSchool

Transitioning to residency can be difficult. The new #ACGME “Mental Health and Well-Being During Transitions” resources provide help to programs and institutions in supporting residents and fellows during this vulnerable period, as well as other key transitional times. #PhysicianWellBeing #MedEd #MedX #TransitionToResidency

Victory lap! Had a blast celebrating @DellMedSchool Class of 2024 at two graduation ceremonies this past week. Your hard work and passion to change the world for the better are remarkable. Thanks for allowing us to be part of your journey! Can't wait to see what you accomplish!

[Dell Medical School @DellMedSchool]

Physician leadership is more than just understanding the ways our health care system may be broken. It's having the tools to fix it. #DellMed's Advancing Care Transformation curriculum equips residents & fellows to tackle systemic challenges in health: https://t.co/JJO4Rqkv4D

Leadership behaviors are an important, sometimes underappreciated, driver of professional fulfillment/well-being. Leaders impact how we feel about our work and care for patients.

At @DellMedSchool, we developed rapid supportive debriefing to support teams after stressful events.

[Greg Wallingford, MD, MBA @gwallingfordMD]

@ChrisMoriates @JHospMedicine @DxRxEdu @SatyaPatelMD @CostsofCare @DOM_UCLA @DrSherineSalib @SamirShahMD @gradydoctor Super cool piece! Thanks for sharing, Chris!

[Department of Medicine at Dell Med @DellMedIntMed]

Dr. Greg Wallingford, recently discussed with the AMA the innovative rapid debriefing tool developed by his team to provide crucial support to teams coping with stressful events. Dr. Wallingford emphasized the correlation between well-being and leadership. https://t.co/jpMllkzwc8

[Laura Vater, MD, MPH @doclauravater]

A CDC report this week on burnout in healthcare concluded with this:

Solutions should emphasize “improving the work environment to support mental health, rather than asking workers to be more resilient…”

Resilience isn’t the issue. The environment is.

[Shreya Ahuja @sahuja124]

It was an honor presenting our research on Rapid Supportive Debriefing at the International Conference on Communication for Healthcare. Thank you to @ACHonline & @gwallingfordMD.

Also was particularly exciting to meet other radiologists engaging in this work! #ICCH2023

[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

Leaders are more likely adopt ideas when they're presented as questions rather than suggestions.

Data: Asking "Have you considered...?" and "What do you think of...?" garners support, especially if the boss has a big ego.

Advocacy can be threatening. Inquiry is empowering.

[Elliott Higgins, MD 👨‍🎤 @EHigginsMD]

Wonderful case study from @UCSDHealth on how they tacked the logistics and funding for a centralized, large academic Physician Well-being effort. A fantastic success story for institutionalizing well-being as a core goal. #ACPH23

[Greg Wallingford, MD, MBA @gwallingfordMD]

Had a blast meeting new and old faces doing phenomenal work in physician well-being at #ACPH23, and sharing the work we are doing at @DellMedSchool in rapid supportive debriefing!

[Amanda J. Deutsch, MD @amandajdeutsch]

@gwallingfordMD Incredible words to help lead a defusing/supportive debriefing.

Let’s go beyond the pause after a patient death.

Thanks for sharing @gwallingfordMD - and look at how honoring our humanity allows the team to connect with patients and their team again.
