From stop & frisk to mass Incarceration as a driver of health disparities. Can’t talk about health inequities w/o discussing criminal justice system (&racism) #SGIM19 1/x
US incarceration rates exceed 20 developed democracies. Incarceration rates not related to violent crimes. 1/3 black men will be incarcerated lifetime (racism, not race). Incarceration traumatizes individuals, families, communities
Many newly dx w chronic diseases but access limited. In CT, those incarcerated pay $3 copay for (constitutionally guaranteed) healthcare = 4 days of work
Anti racism in action: name racism (it’s not race it’s racism) & interrogate mechanism. Racism creates opened & closed signs in our society. It is difficult to recognize a system of inequity that privileges us Dr @CamaraJones #SGIM19 recognize the 2 sides of the sign!
Racism exists even if we don’t see it. Racism is a SYSTEM of power to structure opportunity & assign value. Based on social interpretation of how one looks
Racism unfairly disadvantages individuals & communities & unfairly advantages others & saps strength of whole society
Dr @TimAndersonMD presenting his work w @MikeSteinman cautioning against adjusting BP meds inpatient when uptitration in older adults assoc w harm (Rec: Inpt teams should communicate w outpt provider for close follow up
Dr Emilia De Marchis work w @SIREN_UCSF on social needs screening in health care settings. Pt’s find it acceptable & think HCP should know about pt’s social needs #SGIM19
1/3 Wow what a day for mentees at #sgim19! First up future @nyuschoolofmed student Kanan Shah showing that docs who see patients 4-5 days a week have to spend almost 3 hours in #EHR on each day off to keep up
2/3 next, future med student Emma Simon showing that a simple #EHR template can give internists the info they need post procedure, have >95% uptake and reduce calls to proceduralists #sgim19
3/3 and finally junior faculty Himali Weerahandi with an oral presentation showing that patients given home health services do better after discharge from SNF than those just sent home #sgim19
President @SocietyGIM Dr @gcsmd shares her story to inspire us to find our community & purpose to give voice to those we serve & dare to be powerful in the service of our vision to advance health equity #SGIM19
Our work requires paradigm shift: focus on community’s strengths (not weaknesses) to build health equity. Center those who we hope to serve in our work!
Center theories that elevate oppressed communities, center the strengths of the community, their voices & experiences. #ProudtobeGIM
Proud of Dr @AliciaFMD the @SocietyGIM Nickens Award for lifetime work for diversity & inclusion in healthcare & gives amazing speech & call to action for real social change Si Se Puede @ucsfcvp #UCSFProud
Low barrier tx w buprenorphine: same day MAT for #homeless ppl. ~50% filled bupe rx &1/7 ongoing care @MInczeMD presents #SGIM19 plenary MAT saves lives. @SF_DPH @UCSF collaboration innovative program to meet ppl where they are
How to ⬆️ retention? (Hint: Housing would make a lot easier) but until we have housing, need to decrease mortality from OUD. Role for navigators?
Couldn’t do this w/o insurance coverage for Bupe. (Too confront opioid epidemic, need Medicaid). Grateful to live in expansion state.
