Completed week of advocacy with @AJCGlobal in Delhi, Bangalore and Mumbai. Met with a number of senior level people including a wonderful hour with Dr. Jaishankar and additional meetings with US Ambassador Garcetti and Israeli Ambassador Reuven Azar. @sarahvanloon @TWIN_GLOBAL

Always happy to meet the American Jewish Committee group in Mumbai and to find ways to coordinate between Jewish and Hindus diaspora in both countries. 🇮🇳🇺🇸🇮🇱 @arjunhardas @AJCGlobal

Dear Ambassador Brzezinski @USAmbPoland, thank you so much for your hospitality and the extraordinary efforts that you and your team undertake to combat antisemitism and support Jewish life in Poland. @AJCGlobal remains committed to strengthening Polish – American relations and support dialogue between Poland and the Jewish community around the world.

Thank you for the opportunity to remind everyone of the value brought by laboratory physicians and scientists and the untapped opportunity to do more.

#COVIDー19 is the current problem that clearly illustrates the impact of delayed, inaccurate or miscommunicated diagnoses, the most common, most catastrophic and most costly patient safety issue in our system. Will we finally make the investment to improve diagnostic quality?

Thanks to all for a great discussion! #teledx

And a special thanks to @jkvedar and @SchrandtSuz for their insights into this important topic. Thanks to everyone for contributing to tonight’s chat. If you want to support @improvedx in its work, donate at improvediagnosis.org/support. #teledx

There are some publications. not ready with them at my fingertip. #teledx

What one feasible new option would maximize the value of telemed? #teledx

Remember, we're still talking diagnosis, not treatment monitoring. #teledx

Last question for the evening. #teledx

Diagnosis always involves uncertainty. How do you decide when to convert?#teledx

Good question. Do we need a separate training program on how to do #teledx? Documentation, eliciting information, describing symptoms in relatable terms?

How do you deal with patients struggling with the technology in terms of eliciting information?#teledx

On to Q3 of 4.

Interesting that remote medicine may facilitate relationship-building and engagement. #teledx

Joe, what have you and ATA found about relationship-building between MD and patient in telemed? #teledx

In fact, because of greater access, it can be easier to build a longitudinal relationship #teledx

But is that optimized for the modality? Can we not just do the same, but do differently #teledx
