1/ For the >80,000 people in the U.S who will test positive for #Covid19 today, what can we offer to support access to care but help them safely remain at home?

Our team is excited to finally share important, new findings out today in @AnnalsofIM

This post focuses on the design & launch of COVID SAFE. As the University considered re-opening, ongoing testing was a concern. This is a project that used Saliva based testing & leveraged nudges and innovation. https://t.co/JSnyfQIXYw @miteshspatel @PennNudgeUnit @ChalandaEvans

While Watch got subjective data, the Pulse program focused on objective dyspnea data esp. in the ED setting. The intersection led to the PCORI award. Analysis is pending and to be published shortly. https://t.co/3Qu3G0q48q. @katleemd @Lauren_M_Hahn @PennMedCDH @PENNWaytoHealth

What matters to our West Philly community?

Here is what we’re learning from #VaccineCollaborative feedback:

Trust
Follow up
Forward thinking
Diverse Providers & Staff

“It was like you were you glad to see me even though you didn’t know me”

And that’s because we were.

[Kathleen Lee, MD @katleemd]

Hello from Southwest Philly!

One community.
One dream.
One team.

The fun thing about working @PennMedicine is the intersection of research & practice. This post is abt research to identify ways to vaccinate patients against the flu with potential use in COVID vaccine rollout. Careful word choice increased uptake by 11%. https://t.co/dmqqfirz9F

[Mohan Balachandran @mohan2020]

The next one in the series. As we scaled out testing, the next issue was about communicating results across tech and non tech savvy patients. Significant savings in effort in challenging times. https://t.co/qV2JiHiQNt. @PM_Innovation @katleemd @ColleenMallozzi @PENNWaytoHealth

@kit_delgadoMD @nejmcatalyst @PennMedicine @RainaMerchant @katleemd @PM_Innovation What he said. @katleemd, @Lauren_M_Hahn and @neda_khan_ and all the nurses and clinicians are the true innovators here.

[Kathleen Lee, MD @katleemd]

Do not be bound by incrementalism.

Ty @nejmcatalyst for the feature on how @PennPlasticSurg challenged the #BreastReconstruction status quo here @PennMedicine

Amazing work done by in iterations led by @katleemd to leverage tech and switch visits from hospital to home. Impact on outcomes and quality of life are very significant. https://t.co/Zevfpm2ZyE. @PENNWaytoHealth @PennMedicine @PM_Innovation @nedakhan @Lauren_M_Hahn @PennMedCDH

This is the first of a series of blog posts on W2H's response to the pandemic within Penn Medicine. This first one focused on a program called COVID Watch which is a remote monitoring program we set up at the height of the pandemic and is still ongoing. https://t.co/esC5DBkYja

[Kathleen Lee, MD @katleemd]

Thanks @WHYYNews for the shoutout! Getting a vaccine doesn't have to be online sign-up OR wait-in-line-for-hours.

We're using a no/lo tech strategy that couples automated SMS and phone options with grassroots ambassadorship and NO line clinics.

#tEquity @PENNWaytoHealth

[Kathleen Lee, MD @katleemd]

What We Owe To Each Other. #VaccineEquity.

It was a privilege to design a no-lo tech West Philly #COVIDVaccine clinic in partnership with @PennMedicine @trinityhealthma & the local faith leaders.
