“Brigham Young University is committed to academic excellence in targeted graduate disciplines, traditionally focused on business and law. The First Presidency is pleased to announce the decision now to create a medical school at BYU. A major focus will be on international health issues affecting members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and the Church’s worldwide humanitarian efforts. “Plans for this medical school are underway, and specific target dates will be announced as they are set. It is envisioned that unlike many medical schools, the BYU medical school will be focused on teaching with research in areas of strategic importance to the Church. In time the school will draw students from within and outside the United States. “The BYU medical school will not create its own hospital or hospital system. BYU and Intermountain Health are discussing a mutually beneficial clinical relationship. Also, it is anticipated that the medical school will seek collaborative relationships with various entities in Utah, including the University of Utah.” —The First Presidency of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints

A study by #MGH physicians @davecwhitehead MD and @jconleymd, published in @jmirpub, examined how remote patient monitoring could be integrated with the hospital at home care model. @EMRES_MGHBWH #remotepatientmonitoring #HospitalAtHome #digitalhealth jmir.org/2023/1/e42335

Excited to publish our work on Technology-enabled Hospital at Home in @nejmcatalyst with @davidlevinemd @davecwhitehead Greg Snyder. Tech has/will significantly impact acute care and make it more and more patient- and home-centered

Parents, please take note of this important finding on 90% vaccine protection vs MIS-C below. And good to see new data that the recovery of heart function for MIS-C is fairly rapid in most children when this dreaded outcome occurs ahajournals.org/doi/epub/10.…

What happens when one of the best vaccinated (90% total population) countries in the world gets Omicron? 🇵🇹

Hospitalizations, with comps (note vs US at 62% vaccinated, 21% boosted) Portugal is 34% boosted

Remarkably low rate of myocarditis among children mRNA (Pfizer) vaccinated age 5-11 Total of 12 cases among 8.7 million doses given cdc.gov/vaccines/acip/meetin… Rate of 4/million in boys is <1/10th the rate in teens

Wow. Massachusetts Insurance Commissioner directs all payers to cover hospital at home care for the next 90 days...amazing what a pesky virus can do to drive important policy change mass.gov/lists/doi-bulletins

Another view of the triggered slide at Alta! 💥

That over 3 million children age 5-11 in the US have been vaccinated without a reported case of myocarditis so far is encouraging

Disconcerting to see many countries in Europe starting to heat up again, possibly reflecting, at least in part, some waning of vaccine effectiveness

Attention providers: The new MGH PALS app, a collaboration w/@American_Heart, @MassGeneralNews and @harvardmed, is a free digital health solution for use at the bedside - and aimed at saving kids' lives: iOS- lnkd.in/ecS9ZVC2 Android- lnkd.in/eWSqcmcB #MedED

Great to speak with @Medscape on the future of acute care at home. We’re at an exciting inflection point in national interest as science, tech, and policy are better aligning
