@alandrummond2 Do we really want to fix healthcare problems? The answer is not as clear as it should be:

@NightShiftMD Those leaders who avoid talking about a 'hot potato' that is proven to save many lives, millions of dollars, and alleviate ED boarding, nurse burnout/turnover/shortages at EVERY hospital that implemented this intervention - https://t.co/JBlFlqTTBU are not a part of a solution.

[Institute for Healthcare Optimization @IHOptimization]

@alandrummond2 @nationalpost ED doctors don't seem to speak out as a group about the intervention that benefits everybody at hospitals: themselves, nurses, surgeons, CFO's, etc., not mentioning patients - https://t.co/bMgAFBVSWH

[STAT @statnews]

This intervention improves patient safety, clinician well-being, and hospital finances simultaneously — a rare alignment of incentives in health care. https://t.co/EWx6qgkNLO

@alandrummond2 @OttawaCitizen What is interesting is that 8(!) years ago, OHA had a meeting on this very intervention which has also been covered by the Ottawa Citizen - https://t.co/Tovx50NLlZ

@elonmusk The waste (at least in healthcare) significantly exceeds fraud:

but doesn't get as much attention

[Institute for Healthcare Optimization @IHOptimization]

@alandrummond2 Indeed, while is accountable for only listing numerous healthcare problems and ignoring proven solutions?-https://t.co/SR3u4fm39p, particularly in EDs - https://t.co/pIBXUM7pHB

[Institute for Healthcare Optimization @IHOptimization]

@CAEP_Docs @alandrummond2 Why IN THE MEANTIME, not to implement a practically proven intervention that doesn't require neither more funds not politicians!

Whose fault is this inaction?

[Institute for Healthcare Optimization @IHOptimization]

@MBDan7 Please remember this as well:
There is a well known but ignored PRACTICALLY PROVEN solution that would alleviate these problems and save many lives and billions with NO additional cost:

@alandrummond2 Is this a government neglect or a hospital neglect to optimal patient flow management?

Could this mathematician’s formula fix US hospitals? https://t.co/cy1PuwN0pH

[Institute for Healthcare Optimization @IHOptimization]

The annual US healthcare cost has reached $4.9 trillion - about 30% of which is wasted. What are we getting for this investment? Increasing mortality, overcrowded EDs, nursing shortages... Is there a way out? https://t.co/qUUrOxV51H

[Institute for Healthcare Optimization @IHOptimization]

Everyone has a lot to say in complaint of US healthcare delivery. Not many have practically proven remedies to offer. https://t.co/HCHOaUgjwt

[Institute for Healthcare Optimization @IHOptimization]

Is your ED overcrowded? Are you experiencing a nursing shortage? Are your surgeons unhappy about waiting for ORs? Are you approaching the red ink? Don't spend a penny until you visit https://t.co/SGdCDyUkEn.

[Institute for Healthcare Optimization @IHOptimization]

@elonmusk @ZubyMusic A tragedy that cannot be undone. Future ones can and must be prevented with efficiency in healthcare:

[Institute for Healthcare Optimization @IHOptimization]

Healthcare delivery is failing. A new book provides a roadmap to the solution implemented by pioneering hospitals, alleviating high costs, ED overcrowding, nursing shortage, surgical backlog, and healthcare inequity in the US, Canada, and UK: https://t.co/IUwX1tc9XD

The next step in COVID-care is NON-COVID care. Need to direct the same resolve and resources to clear the backlog of surgical patients waiting. @UHN @AATSHQ @UHN_Surgery
