We have made incredible gain in knowledge but only 14% of the research reach patients. @DrCChambers highlights the huge knowledge to practice gap in #pediatric #painmanagement. #ItDoesntHaveToHurt #BrainTalks

"The results of this scoping review demonstrate that an evidence base around programs to advance patient engagement is largely absent. An opportunity exists for further research to identify strategies and measures to support patient engagement in healthcare decision-making."

“medical misinformation (is any) health-related claim of fact currently false due to a lack of scientific evidence...contemporary misinformation (is) supplanting well-proven interventions & ideas...that are clearly false &, in some cases, harmful."

brilliant piece on #shareddecisionmaking & time. What if clinicians were fully present? A minute spent giving info may be less important than a minute spent waiting for questions, responding w/empathy. @JAMA_current @vmontori @AMStiggelbout @ArwenPieterse https://t.co/5vew7X4qse

Had a very meaningful exchange with @foundingScott on advocacy vs. action.

We all need to evaluate what is rhetoric, what is constructive, fair to call out & what is just tearing down.

if more of us discuss what matters, what works & doesn’t, the better our society & discourse.

Patients will NEVER be given a seat at a table controlled by biz/gov/docs.

It will never happen.

Did that make you angry?

Disagree?

It still won’t change things.

What will?

We must convince many MANY more people to hold politicians accountable.

Nothing else will change it.

This should be as easy and accepted as a patient requesting a second opinion or refusing treatment, if of sound mind. The logic & precedent exists.

EGs: your psychiatrist doesn’t need to know about your childhood immunization. Old dr’s shouldn’t have access to future records.

Notice that #HealthIT vendors -- and the various walled garden networks they so heavily dominate -- are so proud that they're giving us access to *our* personal health information?

Under current regs they're required to.

I want agency, not just access.
