I just asked my freshman son at IU Kelley business school to attend. Hopefully he will ask you some tough questions:) Have some Hartzell's ice cream for me.

Many implications for planetary health from our study:
-Practicing clinicians could consider their prescribing practices,
-Payors could consider a review of their formularies, and
-All health systems could consider conducting their own practice assessments to identify mitigation opportunities

Frequent Missed Opportunities for Earlier Diagnosis of Advanced-Stage Colorectal or Lung Cancer This cohort study developed and implemented a digital quality measure of the proportion of advanced-stage cancer diagnoses in the US to assess the rate of missed diagnostic opportunities.

Our latest example of federal government-supported work to improve safety in health care is in @jamainternalmed.com
We show how to measure the quality of cancer diagnosis electronically so we can start to reduce preventable delays in cancer diagnosis #MedSky jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...

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

Budget Hearing - U.S. Department of Health and Human Services

Seems like there are multiple hearings today - budget at 930 appropriations.house.gov/schedule/hea...

Our latest example of federal government-supported work to improve safety in health care - this time focusing on the use of electronic health records and AI in clinical practice #MedSky #patientsafety academic.oup.com/jamia/advanc...

When did you ever see an issue of the NIH Guide have zero new funding opportunities? Is there no biomedical science that needs further research?

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

So happy to share my advocacy Op-Ed on the importance of federal funding for health research! 💥

From the CDC to the EPA to CMS, @hardeepsinghmd.bsky.social explains how DOGE cuts across multiple federal agencies will have a ripple effect on science and the public:

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...

“I Am Seeing My Community of Researchers Decimated” Across the country, the Trump Administration’s assault on public institutions and its cuts to government funding are forcing scientists to abandon their work and the patients who benefit from it.

There’s the human cost of treating people like garbage, and then there’s the loss of talent, knowledge, and expertise,” … “I Am Seeing My Community of Researchers Decimated” @newyorker.com www.newyorker.com/news/deep-st...

Join us @americanprogress.bsky.social discussion on April 7 Monday! So much at stake with dismantling of science and programs to improve health, health care and patient safety.

What’s Lost: Trump Whacks Tiny Agency That Works To Make the Nation's Health Care Safer - KFF Health News The Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality helped improve health care safety in a country where thousands die of medical errors each year. It was effectively dissolved Tuesday.

My thoughts @kffhealthnews.org on the proposed dismantling of AHRQ

We need safety research to protect our patients from harms in health care. No organization in the world does more for that than AHRQ.

Let the general public know.

In addition to HHS, research at the VA also under threat

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...

Always great to see an aggregate list of work. As they say we make less progress than we expect in the short term and way more than we expect in the long term congratulations to the entire Singh research team! @hardeepsinghmd.bsky.social @histalk.bsky.social www.hsrd.research.va.gov/impacts/diag...

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...

For safeguarding health science, no better time to raise the general public's awareness on how research improves health and healthcare. Show everyone how research is improving patient care, clinical practice, and policies and impacting everyone's lives www.hsrd.research.va.gov/impacts/diag...

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...

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.

@altnih4science.bsky.social

Viewpoint: To safely integrate #AI into health care, health care organizations and clinicians must proactively mitigate risks through pre-implementation quality checks, ongoing monitoring, and patient/clinician engagement.

Texas universities could face funding cuts for health care research under new Trump administration policy A federal judge blocked a new National Institutes of Health policy from going into effect in 22 states that sued the agency, but Texas wasn’t part of the suit.

Faculty is now speaking. Please amplify our voices on how science and research investments improve health and healthcare #patientsafety #MedSky Thank you! www.texastribune.org/2025/02/10/t...
