Looking forward to it. Always a GREAT meeting.

Have any friends had significant issues with @AirFranceFR customer service? Would love to share our story of deny, deny, deny (responsibility, communication, reimbursement). It involves loss, destruction of property, and theft. 3 months and still can’t get to a supervisor.

Today, we stand in solemn remembrance with the families of David Rosenthal, Cecil Rosenthal, Richard Gottfried, Joyce Fienberg, Jerry Rabinowitz, Rose Mallinger, Irving Younger, Daniel Stein, Melvin Wax, Sylvan Simon, and Bernice Simon. May their memories be a blessing.

Please join us in 1h!! Will be a great discussion and educational!!

Come visit me in beautiful AZ 🌵☀️ next year for WCET2025. Looking forward to showing my international colleagues my beautiful hometown! @Endo_Society

😶 Typical response to mitigate burnout (all sincerely well intentioned): -create a wellness or serenity suite -free massages -appoint wellness officers and a committee -resiliency training -team building retreats -stress management workshops -recognition and reward programs -fitness memberships -healthy eating programs 😊 What’s actually needed are workflow improvements (much more difficult, high hanging fruit). 💡 We want doctors to be doctors, not transcribers or data entry technicians. 👍 We want them engaged in the most fulfilling 1:1 patient interactions at the heart of medicine. 😁 More face to face, less computer time. So this means: 🔵 everyone at top of license. Even consider expanding scope. E.g. what if RNs are allowed to refill chronic non-controlled meds without orders? 🔵 limit electronic “inbasket” messages to only the most critical. Perhaps normal values should not ever have to be signed off, for instance, unless MD herself flags it 🔵 using tech or personnel, notes should be skeletonized already so docs can focus on decision making, not data gathering 🔵 Patients should be primed with educational materials before they arrive, as a flipped classroom, because the 1:1 interaction is sacred and must not be wasted (I have COI on this one with @WellPrept but genuinely believe) 🔵 Using AI or human scribes, visit documentation should happen automatically (just like lawyers in court have stenographers) 🔵 if salaries are RVU based, then RVUs at the doctor’s run rate should be attributed to vacation weeks (otherwise, are they vacations?) 🔵 Vacation inbasket (or equivalent) coverage mechanisms, just like call coverage 🔵 allow for paid sabbaticals after X years of service 🔵 Eliminate or substantially curtail MOC 🔵 Extend recredentialing cycles to the max allowable by law, or change the laws to extend interval (BLS, laser recert, fluoroscopy recert, licensure cycles, etc) 🔵 remove prior authorization 🔵 offer flexible and part time schedules 🔵 automate any and all routine tasks
