@louispotok What I used to tell residents who were eager to know esoteric names for diseases or treatments: "It is better to be clear, than correct!"

@donberwick at #IHIForum : "The root of quality improvement is love."

Enjoyed seeing @BarbaravanDuren meet her idol @donberwick at #IHIForum 2019

Ideal behaviors for health care leaders from Aravind Chandrasekaran at #IHIForum.
Do I live up to this every day?

[Michael van Duren @michaelvanduren]

Learning from @JohnToussaintMD at #IHIForum about creating a sustainable culture. "Tools are not sustainable. You need the underlying culture!" Dr Toussaint's experience inspires my journey to reduce #clinicalvariation

[Michael van Duren @michaelvanduren]

Are you at #IHIForum and interested in #clinicalvariation?
Let's talk. I can share the recent @Agathos white paper on 5 ways to empower physicians. https://t.co/YMe2vBNzxt

[Michael van Duren @michaelvanduren]

Learning about high reliability organizations at #IHIForum. Failures to coordinate care waste $130 billion - $240 billion. Wow. Huge opportunity for savings from #clinicalvariation

Looking forward to a few days of reflection and hanging out with our very engaged board members #TGISept19 #thegovinstitute

Loved reading "Cougar," first story in this collection. Captures rural America perfectly.

Any advice on whether replacing a lid actuator on a #Fisher-Paykell #Dishwasher #DS603I is something that you can do yourself?

@flyEUG I have had lots of great experiences at this airport begore, so the refusal to let a grandparent say goodbye to a granddaughter was a surprise.
Let me know if you change your mind. Flight does not leave for another hour.

[Michael van Duren @michaelvanduren]

@flyEUG poor customer service today: two grandparents show up to drop off unaccompanied minor and ask for two passes to get through security. But supervisor Paul Bechtel allows only one. Airport is not busy today. Usually we get two. No reason for splitting family. A shame.

Since I have on occasion been accused of using the Y-axis to change physician behavior, I really liked this review.

Forget Stormy Daniels. Let's talk about the might y-axis instead. https://t.co/aJeC9Q2AU8 via @MotherJones

[Michael van Duren @michaelvanduren]

Chris Moriates, we resonate with your frustration: "Worse than that, in most hospitals, the metrics and attribution are widely inaccurate." Agathos is actively working on making the metrics better and more meaningful. Coming soon to a hospital near you! :) https://t.co/5z3G08Gzg9
