I’ve been contacted 2x just this wk—1 IRL acquaintance & 1 person I know only via Twitter—after they got imaging results in portal before their dr. They DM’d w/ screenshots, panicked, asking for help. I’m 💯 for pt access to #EHR, but #CuresAct implementation needs a MAJOR reboot
Whenever I have expressed concern about #CuresAct, #advocacy often tells me it’s still better. But it def was not better for these folks, nor for me dropping everything to help ppl who aren’t my pts, whose records I lack, & whose drs I don’t even know, i.e., it’s bad care. 😔
And I’m always happy to help patients, genuinely. I actually started using Twitter to be able to report out from #SABCS17 (I think) for #advocacy. But I don’t like providing bad medical care, & this is a set-up for doing so. We need a systems fix so pts aren’t left hanging…
