We are underestimating the downside of our current system when we contemplate change. We need to take some risks to do better. #abimf2013

1/ I've spent 30 years building quality measurement — the measures, the registries, the public reporting. My new @JACCJournals Editor's Page says what I believe: what we built mattered, and it's not good enough. 🧵 jacc.org/doi/10.1016/j.jacc.…

6/ And a warning: if we simplify quality to what's easiest to count, our measures stop resembling the care we aim to improve. The hardest-to-measure patient is often the one who most needs attention.

Ahead of #WorldHypertensionDay, this week's @JACCJournals is a special issue on hypertension. Worldwide, only 1 in 5 adults w/hypertension is controlled even to the old target. The evidence has moved beyond calling the new target 'intensive.' neverdelegateunderstanding.s…

What I wrote was 'What I witnessed in the coronary care unit was a form of clinical mastery that is rarely measured but deeply consequential.' And that is what moved me to write about it. jacc.org/doi/10.1016/j.jacc.…

Despite growing guideline support, single-pill combination (SPC) therapy for hypertension remains strikingly underused in the U.S. In a national EHR analysis of >7 million adults with newly diagnosed hypertension from 2015–2025, fewer than 1 in 10 patients initiated SPC therapy, with no increase after major guideline recommendations. A persistent implementation gap in hypertension care with important implications for adherence, therapeutic inertia, and BP control.

Great minds think alike! I love how we are becoming more & more open as a community to sharing our personal reflections as clinicians from the other side of the bed. onlinejcf.com/article/S1071-… Being a clinician doesn’t make us any less human or vulnerable, so it’s important for us to exchange our challenges, observations, and suggestions to continue to make things better for our patients & for our community. 🙏🏽 Thank you for sharing @hmkyale
If you haven't had the chance to read this month's moving editors page by @robmentz - please take a moment to do so. onlinejcf.com/article/S1071-…

“High-tech medicine saves lives. High-touch care helps people through what follows.” In a new #JACC Editor’s Page, Dr. @hmkyale reflects on being on the other side of medicine — as a family member in the CCU. bit.ly/4dby5bb @drapurvapopat reacts ⬇️ 🎥

"The Paper That Didn't Disappear" FDA reportedly held back several vaccine safety papers headed to publication. Fortunately, one was on medRxiv and remains available. Why preprints matter; my latest Substack: neverdelegateunderstanding.s… Also discussed in #healthandveritas podcast.
