Completely agree- time is now. Our view a few years ago was rankings didn’t help drive the best practices…and could instead leave others behind Improving the Value of Information in Hospital Rating Systems ja.ma/3XbWEf5 via @JAMA_current part of @JAMANetwork – at Durham, NC
Replying to @hmkyale
I wish top health systems would do the same...drop the rankings... come together with their own metrics of their value to their communities and the nation, including safety, equity, cost, accessibility, effectiveness, experience, efficiency...and community impact. @YaleMed @YNHH

Excellent analysis @JBryanSexton1 even without reference to the greatest movie ever made about a shark terrorizing a small beachside community.
Emotional exhaustion was already bad, now it is looking much worse. ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/article… to borrow the well-being sentiment from Jaws: "You're gonna need a bigger boat.." #burnout #exhaustion #wellbeing #MedTwitter For well-being resources: hsq.dukehealth.org/tools/
