This was once a great site to see news and share medical content with colleagues. Practically no one is left on this site now. Twitter is dead. Locking this account down and considering moving to Blue Sky under the handle LWardMD. #TwitterOFF
Please get rid of HCCs! New ideas from @ACPIMPhysicians on how to measure risk.
I am very excited to share the publication of our paper, Modernizing Risk Adjustment in Healthcare. This is an issue that impacts every physician today. @jasongoldmanmd @joshliaotweets @BoutandE @AFureySchultz acpjournals.org/doi/10.7326/…

An amazing physician who will make an amazing representative for #PA03! We need somebody who will stand up for the right to receive healthcare.
I’m Dave Oxman and I’m running for Congress in PA‑03 because I’ve seen how broken our healthcare system is from the inside. I’m a Philly ICU doctor, not a career politician. I’m here to be the change.

The Cures Act was well intentioned but patients should hear about diagnoses from their clinician and not via online portal. This law needs amending. An example of the pendulum swinging to far to one side. @washingtonpost washingtonpost.com/health/20…

Delaware Senators and @JohnCarneyDE - vote NO on SB2/HB350! Don’t wreck healthcare in Delaware and hand hospital control to politicians! @Deldems
Delaware is at the precipice of a #healthcare disaster. @BryanTownsendDE please don’t make us like Vermont!
Delaware is about to create a self-imposed #healthcare train wreck for its citizens. HB350 by @RepLonghurst and @BryanTownsendDE and @JohnCarneyDE needs to be revised. Listen to healthcare leaders and their constituents and quickly reconsider this perilous path. #healthcarecost – at Dover, DE

Always code as specific as possible!
📣 Getting paid for what you do maximizes patient access!
But that means knowing something re coding - written notes must support codes
Great HCC coding example by @LWardMD

The Delaware HB350 would be a disaster to healthcare in the First State. Look at and listen to all the #healthcare heroes who came to oppose this bill. Vote no @RepLonghurst and @JohnCarneyDE. #HealthyHospitalsDE – at Dover, DE
Governor Carney @JohnCarneyDE - please change your position and oppose HB 350 to create a Hospital Cost Review Board. Putting politicians in charge of Delaware’s local hospital budgets will limit patient access to care and threaten public health! #healthcare – at Dover, DE
