Repeat after me:

Patient burnout is an undocumented public health crisis. 🚨
2) #PatientAdministrativeBurden (PAB), or the work that individuals need to do to get the care they need, is of epic proportions, especially in the context of chronic illness, multiple co-morbidities, life-altering, and life-limiting conditions. 📈

3) Patients are buried in:
👉 piles of paperwork
👉 fragmented, manual, poorly coordinated workflows
👉 massive losses of time in waiting and navigating uncharted, unsupported care journeys
👉suffering

(Thread) Reflecting today after an incredible few days in Washington DC at #HDpalooza & #NHPC20 which gave attendees the best of both health data & health policy innovation worlds.
@RasuShrestha @ePatientDave @BeLikeLight @vishnu_saxena @DrSimpsonHSR @HealthPrivacy @coffeemommy @KBDeSalvo @fredtrotter @DCPatient 2) How can I express how grateful I am to have attended as a patient scholar?! What an amazing, enriching experience! Thank you @AcademyHealth for continuing to prioritize & model #PatientsIncluded! Clearly it can be done. Conference organizers, take note. #HDPalooza #NailedIt
@RasuShrestha @ePatientDave @BeLikeLight @vishnu_saxena @DrSimpsonHSR @HealthPrivacy @coffeemommy @KBDeSalvo @fredtrotter @DCPatient 3) The takeaways are clear:

👉Patients have a RIGHT to their health data & the boundaries of access, control, #privacy, & choice have never been questioned, contemplated, & examined more or pushed farther than ever before.

@S4PM 1) A patient with multiple comorbidities has been in & out of the hospital w/what now has been diagnosed as advanced congestive heart failure. At about 5 pm yesterday (Fri), patient & family were told to seek a 2nd opinion asap. Told patient being discharged today. #UnblockHealth
@S4PM 2) The urgent 2nd opinion is to see if the patient is a candidate for a particular procedure. If not, #hospice. Appt can’t be scheduled until ALL records & images on CD are received & reviewed by the 2nd opinion dr’s office (at another hospital, in another state.) #UnblockHealth

1) So you get a copy of your medical records & dive in, reading line by line, trying to make sense of your new lung #cancer diagnosis.

“Wait a second, this doesn’t sound right. This is a mistake. I don’t have a history of a heart condition & I don’t smoke cigarettes.

2) You call your oncologist’s office to report the mistakes you found & ask to have it updated. You are told to write down the correction & fax it to the office. You do exactly that.

3) At your next follow up appt a month later, you ask the dr if your record was updated & the correction was made.

The dr looks at you like:
