Trends in #Physician Electronic Health Record Time and Message Volume jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...

Bottom line: #EHR time remains up and time spent responding to #patient messages has increased, particularly for #primarycare. #healthcare #Medsky

Okay, posting again this as a message to myself (but for anyone who also needs to hear it):

1. When the news makes you feel paralyzed, close the window. Take a break. You can't help if you're overwhelmed.

2. Focus on the things in your control and take ONE action. Just start w/ a small one.

I’m running to be the next Governor of Michigan to ensure everyone gets a fair shot.

I'm a mom, military spouse, marathoner, educator — and Michigan’s Secretary of State.

Quotation marks. Idaho’s minor travel ban cannot become the norm; it’s not safe or compassionate — it’s cruel and punitive. This decision is devastating for young people in Idaho and the trusted adults who support them. Rebecca Gibron. CEO, Planned Parenthood Great Northwest, Hawai‘i, Alaska, Indiana, Kentucky.

Quotation marks. Instead of protecting our youth, this law puts them in harm’s way. It forces minors in abusive households to disclose pregnancies, often with severe consequences, while also criminalizing those who would offer them help. Rebecca Gibron. CEO, Planned Parenthood Great Northwest, Hawai‘i, Alaska, Indiana, Kentucky.

Quotation marks. Idaho’s maternal mortality rate is rapidly rising, and denying timely care to minors only worsens this public health crisis. For some, life-and-death situations now hinge on a helicopter ride to access what should be considered basic care in a rational society — a reality that is both devastating and unacceptable. Rebecca Gibron. CEO, Planned Parenthood Great Northwest, Hawai‘i, Alaska, Indiana, Kentucky.

Quotation marks. No one should have to choose between following their conscience and risking imprisonment for helping a young person in need. This is not justice and not what our young people deserve. We will continue to fight for the rights of all Idahoans to access safe, legal, and compassionate health care without fear of persecution. Rebecca Gibron. CEO, Planned Parenthood Great Northwest, Hawai‘i, Alaska, Indiana, Kentucky.

Yesterday, Idaho's Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals decided to allow the state to enforce its dangerous "abortion trafficking" law.

Medical care decisions should be between families and their doctors or nurses — not the government. Protect trans and nonbinary youth.

Bans on gender-affirming care puts the lives and well-being of trans and nonbinary youth and their families at risk.

Gender-affirming care saves lives. Your right to exist should not be up for debate.

New Medicaid Guidance Helps States Ensure Kids Get Needed Care New federal guidance ensures children and young people enrolled in Medicaid will have the full array of preventive, diagnostic, and treatment services they need.

Medicaid’s influence on children's health and lifelong well-being cannot be overstated. The program covers nearly 40% of US children.

Recently, CMS updated its guidance on coverage and access requirements for children to ensure they're receiving the health services they need when they need them.

2024 AAMC Debt Fact Card. The median indebtedness is $205,000. While 23% of graduates have debt >$300,000, 29% have no educational debt.

New data on medical student debt from the AAMC:

Average educational debt is up 2% to $205,000.

…but that's for students who incur debt. Nowadays, 29% of students don't.

Meanwhile, 23% of graduates owe >$300,000. (In other words, more debt is being heaped upon a smaller proportion of students.)

The CDC and WHO report a 20% increase in measles cases last year, driven by decreases in vaccination.

This equated to 107,500 DEATHS, mostly in young children.

This, in a PREVENTABLE disease.

Can only imagine what that number will be if we get rid of all mandates.

First #medsky post with the amazing @bethjonesmd.bsky.social

Arguably, the greatest advance in healthcare in the past 100 years was the widespread vaccination of children.
