[Kiefer Sutherland @RealKiefer]

With a heavy heart, I tell you that my father, Donald Sutherland, has passed away. I personally think one of the most important actors in the history of film. Never daunted by a role, good, bad or ugly. He loved what he did and did what he loved, and one can never ask for more than that. A life well lived.

@GeriLynn is sharing her personal story as a patient and caregiver at #ata2023.

We’re asking a huge amount of family caregivers, often without basic education or tools.

Burnout results. We need to up our game. #telehealthishealth

[Enlightening Results 💡 @GraceCordovano]

@Lygeia @stacy_hurt @GeriLynn FACT: #PatientAdministrativeBurden is literally an undocumented public health crisis. The work that patients & families need to do to connect to the care needed is of epic proportions.

Patients need access to tools, tech, & credible info to expedite access to care #ATA2023

Fixing U.S. public health will require a health-systems revolution — and for physicians to take a backseat https://t.co/K8wQKWi83M via @statnews

T5: An open and trusting dialogue. Patients are inspired to help themselves. #patientchat

[Vera Rulon FAHIMA @vrulon]

T4: Listen. Respond to each item of concern. Ensure that that your patient and their families have understood. #patientchat

[Vera Rulon FAHIMA @vrulon]

@patientchat @Crohnoid Certainly is. A complex situation clearly visualized. #patientchat

[Vera Rulon FAHIMA @vrulon]

@melissarvh That's a real issue. When instructions are communicated is just as important as how they are communicated. #patientchat

[Vera Rulon FAHIMA @vrulon]

Yes! It's not easy for patients to relay their stories. There should be tools for them to help them communicate with their providers. #patientchat @S4PM

[Alan Brewington @abrewi3010]

T3 active listening and hearing are a skill. Some don’t have it. You might have to tell your story in a different way. #patientchat

[Vera Rulon FAHIMA @vrulon]

T3: Dismissal of your concerns. Not writing things down, so that when you ask for a specific consult they ask you to come in for another office visit (happened to my husband recently). #patientchat

[Vera Rulon FAHIMA @vrulon]

@patientchat Happy Friday to you, too! #patientchat
