Happy Valentine’s Day to our lovely public health community! We love you @FauciFan and @NIH

[Kedar Mate, MD @KedarMate]

It’s encouraging to see @CDCHealthEquity projects, like this one in Michigan, prioritizing building trust with communities & relying on their input/involvement in addressing challenges and dismantling barriers to COVID & flu vaccine uptake.

[Kedar Mate, MD @KedarMate]

It’s time to double down on our collective focus on #HealthEquity

Heading into 2022, let’s commit and recommit to collecting and stratifying health equity data. It’s a critical step toward achieving truly high-quality health care for all.

The Goodman research team at @publichealthpdx could use your help with recruiting participants for an important study! Please share with eligible patients, friends, and family, #RT, and/or post in your workspace, if possible!

[Julia @Julia__Goodman]

Looking for help recruiting participants for a new study: "Work as a social risk factor in pregnancy: Focus groups examining screening practices related to working conditions and family leave."

We are excited to announce U.S. @Surgeon_General Dr. Vivek Murthy will be a keynote speaker at this year’s #IHIForum! https://t.co/7dKQiudg5Z

Lack of trust in health care is a major barrier to achieving health equity.
How as health care leaders do we address persistent skepticism & earn the trust of our communities?
It takes a consistent cycle of listening, acting to share power & repeating: https://t.co/jdMpyJqLe7

I learned a tremendous amount from @SusHealthcare and the #Greensurgery challenge this morning. Check out the incredible projects across the UK that have achieved the triple bottom line: better clinical outcome, better for the environment and saves money. @TheIHI

[CHSE @OHSU_CHSE]

First-of-its-kind #Medicaid research into #PrEP use and adherence in Oregon shows the necessity of accurate monitoring that takes into account the specific needs and risk factors of #Trans people.

Improving #quality and #safety by making post-event debriefing a habit. #IHI #QI #qualityimprovement #patientsafety

[Institute for Healthcare Improvement (IHI) @TheIHI]

If debriefing became the norm after all cases regardless of outcome, it could shift from something dreaded to a welcomed and productive post-event conversation. https://t.co/KMnDGz49OU

#QI thought for the day: Should physicians adopt patient advocacy roles to promote health equity and improve patient health outcomes? Any physician overburden concerns? Read this piece and let us know your thoughts! Thanks to @ahoverman for this share. https://t.co/zqL4BNVahM

Happy Friday! Let's start some conversations today on the issue of sexual orientation & gender identity assumptions, as well as the gendered language in healthcare, & the impacts they have on patient health outcomes. #LGBTQ

Making an investment usually means making choices. As you, a health system leader, contemplates where to invest your assets and time, consider where some of the biggest gaps in outcomes exist.

#Inequities are often at the heart of those gaps. (1/2)

[Institute for Healthcare Improvement (IHI) @TheIHI]

.@KedarMate, MD, on why it's crucial to gather accurate, stratified patient data to take on #healthequity: “Once you've got the data, and you've got the information about disparities, you’ve got to do something about it." https://t.co/lwluIqrF0q #HCLDR #HCSM

Good morning, #PDX #IHI folks, keep these words of encouragement in mind as you start your week! #Healthcare #CQI #HealthSystems #HealthCareDelivery

[Dr. Monica Cox @DrMonicaCox]

I want to encourage people who are slowly but surely changing systems. You may not see immediate fruit, but know that seeds are being planted. They will grow in due season. You have to believe that your work is not in vain, otherwise, why would you do what you do?

[PSU & OHSU IHI @pdxopenschool]

Using systems mapping to optimize patient flow, which translates to improvements in care, safety, and health outcomes. #IHI #ImprovementInAction

[Institute for Healthcare Improvement (IHI) @TheIHI]

Failing to achieve hospital-wide patient flow — the right care, in the right place, at the right time — puts patients at risk for suboptimal care and potential harm. https://t.co/EPPkEU8E1Z

Ensuring timely patient care amidst the pandemic has never been more important.
