1/ #Metaverse can provide a virtual environment for #healthcare professionals to collaborate, share knowledge and ideas, and even perform surgeries!
This virtual collaboration can help eliminate barriers like distance and time, making healthcare accessible to all. 🌎🚫👨⚕️👩⚕️

2/ Virtual reality can also help medical students and professionals train in a safe, immersive environment without risking any harm to real patients.
This can help them learn and practice complex procedures and techniques more effectively. 🎓💻👩⚕️👨⚕️

#Emedicine, #Telemedicine can/will revolutionise (high quality) #health delivery not only in #India’s rural and remote areas, but also in rural areas of much richer countries!

A major barrier to optimizing care delivery across the health system is the status quo bias that exists within the medical community.
Simply comparing #telemedicine to prior care models (hint: not exactly crowd-pleasers) won’t get us very far.

1️⃣Agreed✅: “The most important element of connection is the ability to connect at all.” Telemedicine can ⬆️ access.
2️⃣Telemedicine may actually be the “bedrock” of care for certain specialties or types of care.
It’s 2022. Let’s leverage 2022 technology.

Why is there so much talk about ambulance offload delays? A look into the process, challenges, and solutions (a 🧵).
While not a new problem, there has been increased conversation on ambulance offload delays as we weather this latest COVID surge. Systems all over the world are struggling to get ambulances back in service in a timely manner after transporting pts to the hospital.
@NEMSISTAC nationwide data shows offload times (elapsed time from the arrival of an ambulance with a pt to the ED until the ambulance is back in service) have increased and spiked at various times in 2020 & 2021 (red + purple lines) compared to 2018 & 2019 (blue + green lines).

Leaving my primary care practice:
a thread 🧵
a thread 🧵
In March 2020, my practice of 13 years closed to protect our patients and staff. Thanks to the #telemedicine platforms I put in place a year prior, we overnight converted our 70+ provider practice to telemedicine for the next 2.5 months.
After years of hustling in clinic, full-time #telemedicine provided time to skillfully coordinate care and provide thorough counseling. Working from home without the frenetic churn of the clinic, I was living my best life and delivering the best medical care of my career.
Cancer or stroke patients need more than primary care. Extending that doctor driven care at home is @Ubiqare's USP!

1/ #WorldHealthDay is also a good day to reflect on the opportunities that many India's health challenges bring. In this thread, we summarise some.
First, investing more in health and recognizing disease prevention and health promotion should be the topmost priority.

3/ As a result of such a low investment in health and due to high out-of-pocket expenditure (85.6% according to the @WorldBank) millions of people are pushed further into poverty and are unable to escape.

The IRRESISTIBLE FORCE is patients' rapid uptake & high satisfaction with #telehealth & virtual care.
The IMMOVABLE OBJECT is healthcare incumbents' economic interests that align with the pre COVID-19 old normal.

Dr Tarun apparently Prescribed Drugs to Sushant Singh Rajput which are listed in the Schedule of NDPS Act as Psychotropic Substances which are not allowed under the Telemedicine Practice Guidelines

Adventures in #telemedicine. Why it's important to have an Emergency Plan. I was seeing an elderly patient this morning with chronic medical problems for an annual visit. Pleasant visit, nothing exciting, refilled medications, ordered labs. As we are about to wrap up visit.../1
...patient says "I suddenly don't feel so well." What? "I feel like I'm going to pass out." Then BOOM. Face plant. Patient is home alone, I am the only witness. I yell out the door to my assistant to tell my next patient that I will be late. /2
Patient regains consciousness after 10 long seconds. Please call 911 now. "I don't want to call 911. I'm fine." She loses consciousness again and falls off screen. I can't see her. I call 911. /3

The timeliness of the webinar can be gauged by the increasing number of #COVID19 related infections and fatalities within the police force. Data captured by @IPF_ORG as on 30 July 2020 is indicative of this: (2/n)
