I am so proud of my team and awed by the work they do. Delivering the right care, at the right time, in the right place. And living by the @MayoClinic mission - the needs of our patients always come first.

Mayo Clinicβs community paramedics travel across southeast Minnesota, providing care to patients in their homes. Those visits help prevent serious illnesses. @StarTribune details this innovative program. bit.ly/3PsFJl5

In a world marred by war, incompetence, greed, and hateful intolerance, our belief in care may be naive. And yet, we believe that a radical commitment to care, for about with each other, and for our planet, is our compass out of this pandemic fog. 11/12

This will entail rehabilitating experienced but hurt clinicians and rekindling the motivation of compassionate people pursuing careers in healthcare, preparing them to care with both competence and compassion. And a radical shift in culture and policies. 10/12

A radical commitment to care and its re-humanisation is our compass out of this pandemic fog. This demands a stubborn, long hauled, and creative effort to eradicate cruelty, make time to care, and make healthcare services simpler, easier to use, and more respectful. 9/12

Importantly, it fails to address the fundamental problem with industrialised healthcare: the depletion of care. Industrial healthcare is not designed to support careful and kind care; the pandemic has shown us the need to act differently. 8/12

But more of the same will lead to healthcare that is increasingly dehumanised, transactional, generic, burdensome, and cruel. 7/12

Some see the way out of this fog as turning towards a higher tech, lower skilled, and even more industrialised healthcare. They see speeding up the flow of the production line as the answer to current healthcare challenges, such as ever rising demand and reduced resources. 6/12

Instead of a before and an after, a thick fog now envelops and disorients patients and healthcare professionals. 5/12

Covid-19 and its pandemic fog arrived as industrialised healthcare was reaching its apogee. A βnew normalβ was heralded beyond the covid-19 pandemic, but no threshold or dawn has become apparent in the transition from the pandemic to the post-pandemic world. 4/12

Industrial healthcare has exhausted caregivers and patients and morally injured, burned out, and spent clinicians, making it humanly unsustainable. 3/12

Relentlessly pursued, industrialised healthcare turns patients into widgets and clinicians into production line workers, the work of caring reduced to processing people through the system. 2/12

I was asked to prepare a very brief introduction to GRADE for new members of a WHO guideline panel. The 11.5 minute result could be useful for any guideline group wanting to give their panel members a brief birdβs eye view of the GRADE process. vimeo.com/779978267
