Well said @kit_delgadoMD! It was an incredible privilege to serve alongside this team throughout the #Covid19 pandemic.
Thank you @PennMedicine @PM_Innovation @PennMedCDH @PENNWaytoHealth for enabling this effort and @NEJM for highlighting it.

This was a pandemic labor of love involving a huge team of researchers, clinicians, innovators. Special shout outs to @katleemd (implementation lead), @AnnaUma (Covid Watch medical director), @khchaiyachati (co-PI), and @76Dalton @PM_Innovation leader and everyone on the team...

How a multidisciplinary team from @PM_Innovation/@PennMedCDH/@PENNWaytoHealth developed Penn Preview, a simpler user experience for patients to share photographs in advance of a #teledermatology visit that also reduces administrative burden for staff: nej.md/3C0Uuac

Mini thread on the choice of pulse oximetry thresholds and management protocols from our @NEJM RCT with @katleemd @AnnaUma @khchaiyachati

Thanks @danielgoyal! Team effort. Good question. Before launch, the algorithm was was iteratively refined by @katleemd based on patient responses.
First, this was an ambulatory sat (not resting sat)...

Does home pulse oximetry monitoring improve outcomes with Covid?
A randomized trial says no

Supplementing #covid19 monitoring with pulse oximetry did not improve outcomes, an RCT shows. @kit_delgadoMD breaks it down in this excellent thread.
Pulse oximeters are widely used to monitor for low oxygen levels among #Covid19 patients at home.
But does pulse oximetry improve outcomes over monitoring for symptoms of shortness of breath?
Our team provides some answers today in @NEJM 🧵👇

Important new trial shows that "Among patients with Covid-19, the addition of home pulse oximetry to remote monitoring did not result in a greater number of days alive and out of the hospital than subjective assessments of dyspnea alone." #MedTwitter

Many reasons to consider #financialincentives for #covidvaccination but use stronger alternatives where possible: @PennMedicine all health system employees will be required to be vaccinated - #putpatientsfirst @CarolynCannu @PennCHIBE nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NE…
👏👏👏

Great @nejmcatalyst article by my friend Dan Resnick-Ault @suturesntacos about how to set up a mass #vaccination site that can vaccinate ~1000 people/hr.
Nice schematics illustrate traffic flow & process optimization.
Great work! Now do the post office.
