Presented RST of our work examining the role #SDOH on sepsis readmissions. We found limited adoption of Z codes (< 2%) in a national cohort of sepsis survivors. Problems with economic stability was associated with higher all cause readmissions. #SSCM2023

In order to be a servant leader we need to have an aim for our goals, but an aim is not enough.
1. We have to have knowledge.
2. We need to measure things.
3. We need periods of trial and error.
4. We have to have teams.
5. We need to kneel.

THINK LIKE AN EPIDEMIOLOGIST:

The CDC’s recent announcement that the Delta variant has an average reproductive number of 6-9 has a lot of people concerned & many are asking me about whether this means we need COVID boosters.

Let’s talk through the math of how we might decide!

@DrTese Thanks for sharing, Tese! I bought her book "Creating and sustaining civinity in nursing education" after listening to her Nurse Tim podcast. "The way we treat others and the acts of kindness we bestow tell the story of who we are and the way we wish to be remembered."
