Planetary health stewardship should be a key responsibility of physicians and is well-aligned with healthcare quality, efficiency, waste reduction, and cost reduction. Our new @journalgim.bsky.social paper on how to accelerate activities in a challenging sociopolitical environment

Our new @annalsofim.bsky.social paper “Pragmatic Approach to Streamlining Single-Use Plastics (PASS-UP),” to help address the planetary and human health impacts of increasing dependency on disposable single-use plastics in healthcare www.acpjournals.org/doi/10.7326/...

Translation for the general public -
A large hole was just punched through that NIH/AHRQ "Swiss Cheese" slice to dismantle science that protects our health and healthcare

Here is the Swiss Cheese visual I mentioned that shows how science and the feds are interconnected and work together to protect the public.
Thank you @americanprogress.bsky.social for inviting me to discuss www.americanprogress.org/events/resea...

Nothing "fantastic" or "exciting" about the number of patients who might be harmed. I bet he hasn't heard of AHRQ or its role at HHS...

I created this visual to communicate to the general public what is at stake here.

Patient safety should be a household word, and friends of AHRQ should let everyone know what AHRQ does to protect healthcare safety #MedSky

Given more recent news, I created a new visual for what’s at stake for patient safety

Time to make patient safety a household word and let the general public know how AHRQ prevents harm from medical errors

Why I care about AHRQ: www.jointcommissionjournal.com/article/S155...

In healthcare, we need to raise the general public's awareness of how research improves people's health and healthcare. This is how VA Research showcased our research impact on clinical practice, policy, and patient care www.hsrd.research.va.gov/impacts/diag...

I created this visual to help the general public understand what’s at stake for health and safety.

Robust science and a strong federal infrastructure are foundational to prevent adverse impacts on our health. #MedSky

I created this visual to help people understand what’s at stake.

Key message for the general public - robust science and a strong federal infrastructure are foundational to prevent adverse impacts on our health.

Appreciate constructive feedback on Version 1.

Diagnosis is a sociotechnical process so how do hospitals promote diagnostic excellence?

We partnered with CDC to develop The Core Elements of Hospital Diagnostic Excellence in consultation with AHRQ and CMS #Medsky
