Qualitative study: Institutional plans for health care crisis conditions during the #COVID19 pandemic did not protect frontline clinicians from having to allocating scarce resources. ja.ma/3PkoX9F @katebutler @annmohare
"[Triage] fell pretty squarely on the point-of-care providers...I feel psychically distressed". Institutional pandemic plans must align with the complex and dynamic conditions that clinicians face in real-world crisis conditions. @UWNephrology

Predicting a bump in nephrology fellowship applications 5 years from now!

Thank you for your beautiful reflections and strong call to action. Transplant is an amazing treatment, but far from a cure.

Transplant can be a life-changing treatment for people with organ failure but is not without risks and trade-offs. Fantastic application of the "best-case/worse-case" approach to shared decision-making in liver transplantation.
So cool to witness the beginnings of a project that's clearly going to be important for patients. @Yuv90 presenting at @UWNephrology grand rounds on his work to improve access to home dialysis. @annmohare @PennKidney
Inspiring talk at @UWNephrology grand rounds by visting prof @RachelPatzerPhD emphasizing the need for system-level and upstream interventions to improve access and equity in kidney transplant. (And she also managed to sprinkle in some epidemiology classics!)
Amazing how much can get done in 1.5 days! Wonderful to be in a room w/such thoughtful people for this #kdoqi workgroup on pt-centered measures kidney.org/news/nkf-leads-re… @NKF @KidneySW @DanTheKidneyMan @MiriamGodwin4 @kljohansenmd @DrDeidraCrews @roachjl @txswgalmb @itsglendar
Entirely proud to see @annmohare recognized for her leadership in person-centered care. After years of her mentorship, I'm still learning about what it is to truly approach discussions with patients and families (and colleagues, mentees, friends...) openly without agenda.
We are thrilled to share that Dr. Ann O’Hare @annmohare has been appointed as the inaugural holder of the Bill Peckham Endowed Fund for Person-Centered Care! Her career embodies the spirit of all that Bill stood for. nephrology.uw.edu/news/dr-an…

Thanks for highlighting this issue at the intersection of #healthequity and #PersonCenteredCare, @GoHealio! @annmohare @UWNephrology @JRandallCurtis1 @AmakaEMD
Findings suggest that Black, Asian American, and Pacific Islander patient populations want more help to cope with advanced #KidneyDisease. Study was led by @KateButler @UWNephrology. bit.ly/3zdxRgI #healthequity #palliativecare

Difelikefalin: A Novel Therapy for Dialysis Patient Care
"It will take time & effort to scratch the proverbial itch on behalf of patients w/CKD-aP most in need of novel therapies like difelikefalin, but the time & effort can pay off"

Encouraged to see that this discussion is growing! Thanks to @ASNKidney & @GoHealio for making addressing climate change a priority.

Thanks for the kind words, @itsglendar. Seems like nearly every bit of research coming out of the @KidneyResInst has benefitted from your reflections & insights, including this one!
Kidney failure and dialysis can mean incredible psychological and social challenges, but our healthcare system may not sufficiently support minoritized racial groups in coping with these challenges.

Thanks for highlighting this work @JAMANetworkOpen! Appreciate the foresight of the WA State emergency prep community and efforts of triage team participants who spent long hours on zoom in the midst of a #covid surge. @vranas_kelly @laurabwebster @ddiekema1 @TheNetworkNWHRN
