Why mislead the public about maternal mortality? A dubious study led to alarming headlines, yet the U.S.'s miserably high #maternalmortality should be enough to motivate action, says @BUSPH Professor Eugene Declercq. @AHCJ #MaternalHealth https://t.co/y5rgb8PQSE

What is decision tree on fighting a given disease? Does @gatesfoundation work "within" or outside #pharma ?
@TimothyWSchwab argues philanthropy should be examined by journalists. Live now - discussion from @AHCJ #journalism Moderator @mcjaklevic

It's a cliche to say health care is broken. Physician writer @ilanayurkiewicz says journalists should tighten the focus on systemic problems--like clunky medical records and excessive resident duty hours--that fragment care and harm patients. @AHCJ https://t.co/33YYg7Gn6W

[Mary Chris Jaklevic @mcjaklevic]

Outpatient procedures are booming, and consumers need better information on quality and #patientsafety, say @Thomasctsai @LeapfrogGroup @benharder of @usnews. @AHCJ https://t.co/zjuE6Fwd2K

[Mary Chris Jaklevic @mcjaklevic]

Hospitals bellyache about quality measures. How can they give the public something better? Thoughtful ideas from @MLMillenson and @JMatthewAustin. #patientsafety https://t.co/18sffAkZy6

Many stories can be told about missed or delayed diagnoses and how the medical system can improve. @ImproveDX @ahcj @HardeepSinghMD @markgraber @LauraZwaan81 https://t.co/gm4PbBNFwZ

Many people have a story about a wrong or delayed diagnosis. Experts say we know how to reduce these mistakes. #patientsafety https://t.co/IB0dA2rJPU…

[Mary Chris Jaklevic @mcjaklevic]

There's a lot for journalists to do in watchdogging state agencies that are supposed to protect patients from dangerous clinicians. Great insights from @hueyjayd @MattGrantKXAN @LJBeil. @AHCJ @KXAN_News #patientsafety https://t.co/eCcstw7jU7

[Mary Chris Jaklevic @mcjaklevic]

Patients want to know the rate of harm at every hospital, says @ptsafetyaction's Lisa McGiffert. But @KarenWFeinstein of @JHForg says publicizing medical errors could discourage accurate reporting. https://t.co/0ZLLClisUG via @kffhealthnews #patientsafety

Striking call by @_Eric_Reinhart for doctors to compel reform by unionizing and engaging in collective civil disobedience using their control over documentation and billing. @jburns18 @mbirnbaumnews https://t.co/G4wAruZAwy

[Mary Chris Jaklevic @mcjaklevic]

At-home monitoring and sensors to detect whether a patient has been moved are among 2023's tech trends, but we've not "crossed that bridge" to letting AI diagnose patients, says @Colin_Hung of @HealthcareScene via Karen Blum @ahcj. https://t.co/GisXrDjLTi

[Mary Chris Jaklevic @mcjaklevic]

Clinics are using social media to mislead people about ketamine, amphetamines and testosterone, say @GWpublichealth @JohnsHopkinsEPI researchers, citing work by @RolfeWinkler @khadeeja_safdar @anfuller @CalebMelby @polly https://t.co/6Rh8idcUmw via @statnews

[Mary Chris Jaklevic @mcjaklevic]

@journalsentinel Disappointed that this story is behind a paywall. Quality of health care is important public business.

[Mary Chris Jaklevic @mcjaklevic]

@kevinblunt66 @USPatientSafety @NPatientSafetyB @AHCJ Stunning story by @baltimorebanner. Hospital food is not something that leaps to mind when we talk about #patientsafety. Maybe it should. https://t.co/kcjtKQzMjQ
