How to take control of your medical wishes rochesterfirst.com/news/heal… @MarkGruba @DrMaryTBassett @maiadorsett @KatieGOrem @HealthNYGov @IPROQINQIO @IPROorg @urochestermed @URMC_Medicine
Agree @maiadorsett. EMS leaders of @NYMOLST have been key in reframing DNR as DNAR, as CPR doesn’t stop death for the seriously ill patients near end of life. #NAEMSP2022
Talking about a topic near and dear to my heart - the role of POLST in allowing EMS to provide care that honors patient values and wishes.
I love the reframe: DNR is DNAR.

@NYMOLST @PatBombaMD
Agree @maiadorsett This is the key difference in Advance Care Planning tools. #POLST is key for EMS as the majority of POLST appropriate patients lack capacity and CANNOT make decisions “in the moment” in a crisis.
An incredibly important point: A POLST form is NOT an Advance Directive.
Advance Directive: making plans in case of unexpected deterioration.
POLST form: A set of MEDICAL ORDERS that is written after a guided conversation with their doc (or APP).

California’s biggest nursing home owner is facing a lawsuit over 24 COVID-related deaths. Elder neglect and abuse continue to occur regularly, but we need accountability. READ HERE: buff.ly/3y7wLkw

Welcome, @DrMaryTBassett! On behalf of 20 million New Yorkers, we are thrilled to bring your skills, knowledge, and expertise to @HealthNYGov.

Fewer black men applied to medical school in 2014 than in 1978 and black men have the lowest life expectancy in the United States. With only 2% of American doctors being black men, this comes as no surprise. This documentary explores WHY. indiescreening.com/films/bla…
Congratulations @SMeghani_PhD on being selected for this prestigious well-deserved award! @PennNursing You touch the lives of many. You make a difference!

Criminal robocalling is a common form of #elderabuse
It affects our parents, friends, neighbors. To stop it we'll need international cooperation @LeadingAge @PatBombaMD @LeadingAgeCA #fraud #cybercrime

Fred, NYSeMOLSTregistry.com is coded to prevent medical errors; is a risk management tool. Value recognized with COVID-19. Approximately 20% of MOLST orders reviewed and renewed during crisis. Patients called in for new discussions.
NY’s unique NYSeMOLSTregistry.com is a risk management tool! molst.org/blog/newsletter/mo… Ensures accuracy and access to eMOLST medical orders and discussion in all sites of care. @HealthNYGov @NYGovCuomo @paula_span @JoeKGoldstein @NYSBA @NYSOPWDD @thearcny
Patients have a right to refuse treatment. molst.org/blog/newsletter/mo… It doesn’t end when they lose the ability to make medical decisions. @HealthNYGov @NYSBA @NewYorkACP @mssnytweet @The_NPA @NYSSPA @NYACEP @ExcellusBCBS @JoeKGoldstein @paula_span
Honoring #NYMOLST is the law. #MOLST is a set of medical orders, not an advance directive. Failure to Follow #MOLST is Wrong. @HealthNYGov @NYGovCuomo @ExcellusBCBS @IPROQINQIO @hinmanstraub @LeadingAgeNY @paula_span @JoeKGoldstein bit.ly/3pyVzwV

My view on schools-- they ought be open in all but rarest instances-was reached from late summer to fall, when I spent considerable time examining the risk of virtual schools to kids vs. the risk of in person schools to kids, teachers, community
Here is my journey

Privileged to work with experts who interpret the evidence base. Review affirms ACP Models need evidence in many populations before scaled. @NASEM_Health @SMeghani_PhD @mere_mackenzie @IPROQINQIO @IPROorg @WilliamNovelli @NHDD @csnedekerkazdan
Look forward to @NASEM_Health panel today on “Interpreting Evidence Base for Advance Care Planning”.
