Who are these ‘hard to reach people?’ I’m often asked for tips on how to engage the “hard to reach”. Just now walking into Sweetgreen a man asked if had change. I told him I never carry money nowadays since so much is done w/the phone. I asked if he wanted something to eat. 
He nodded and I told him I would see if I could order it on my phone. Intrigued he said, “Really? How do you do that?” This led to a conversation as we waited 15 minutes for his food. Here is what I learned about him in less than 15 min:
Born and lived in DC til he was six
doesnt have a phone
sleeps in different parks
Limited reading ability
Doesnt have a watch
Likes chicken and vegetables
Never heard of quinoa
Lost his ID
Went to human services center but was refused services because he didnt have an ID!

I’m the first Indigenous and Pacific Islander in this position. @CashinMD is the first Indigenous Board member this year.
I’ve been asked many times about what being in this position means in the context of being Indigenous. Recent #CMAagm has consolidated a few thoughts.

Living #Indigenous means pushing through structural #exclusion and #disempowerment. It gives unique insight into how to #empower the disempowered.

My journey started with making social accounts, then posting a few thoughts, ideas, questions, & pleas for help. I used hashtags such as #RareDisease, #ChronicIllness, #Disability, #NEISvoid, in general, & then some that are more specific to my condition.

🚨We've made progress in some areas, but we still have key decisions to make in July to get this more under control. Insights from @ASlavitt, @Bob_Wachter and @pewresearch. My new blog post: alanshoebridge.com/post/covid-19-…
ICYMI: Two months ago I wrote about the 80% healthcare economy, building off a hypothesis from @ScottGottliebMD about the larger economy. I still feel like this is where we will be for some time. Nothing is coming back at 100% any time soon. alanshoebridge.com/post/the-80-he…
ICYMI #2: COVID-19 is also proving to be the disruption event that many people in healthcare did not see coming. #hcmktg #hcldr alanshoebridge.com/post/covid-19-…

This was a huge emergency that has only gotten worse since COVID-19. Rural hospitals have gotten hit especially hard.
Stunning graphic on the cover of today's New York Times. We're not going to see a quick reset to our economy. linkedin.com/posts/shoebrid…
Unfortunately, I think this means that healthcare, like most industries, will be stuck in the "80% percent economy" for quite some time. #hcmktg #hcldr linkedin.com/feed/update/ur…
And that's going to really impact how healthcare marketers and communicators think about the "reset" of our business and our profession's role in that. #hcmktg #hcldr linkedin.com/pulse/covid-19…

@S4PM 1) A patient with multiple comorbidities has been in & out of the hospital w/what now has been diagnosed as advanced congestive heart failure. At about 5 pm yesterday (Fri), patient & family were told to seek a 2nd opinion asap. Told patient being discharged today. #UnblockHealth
@S4PM 2) The urgent 2nd opinion is to see if the patient is a candidate for a particular procedure. If not, #hospice. Appt can’t be scheduled until ALL records & images on CD are received & reviewed by the 2nd opinion dr’s office (at another hospital, in another state.) #UnblockHealth
I’m reading the most important book you’ve never heard of.
Why am I reading this? All my roads lead to self-deception:
It’s why patients don’t change their behavior, #hcldr ignore science, politicians perpetuate inequity, etc.
Follow along, I’ll tweet notes as I read.

1/ Most of us (esp in healthcare) are stuck in rationalism (Plato): failure to behave is due to inadequate understanding.
Ignores hedonism and it’s implications: we want to feel good! Also we ignore something not mentioned in this book, behavioral economics.

Yesterday, I started my lists for my Start/Stop/Continue audit.
Like many on #medtwitter, I have lots of lists.
I consider personal, work, community, family, etc
AND break each of those down again and again until I’m really looking closely 🔍

You know the rules.
Vote on the value that matters most to you.
Reply with your 'why’ or an example from your life.
Consider yourself and what you value in others.
You can like both of these (I do!) but you can choose only ONE.
Be honest 🙂

Seeing early responses, here's a clarification:
These values are not intended as opposites or mutually exclusive.
'Recognition' doesn't mean 'undeserved recognition without contribution'
Just asking for a forced rank of what's most important.
Carry on :)

#TrueValuesChallenge Day 2 [thread]
Values guide our decisions, behaviors, and internal harmony.
Most sound great. It's easy to consider one and say 'yes, I value that'.
But values don't have equivalent importance. They are ranked, often subconsciously.

Will you take the #TrueValuesChallenge?
I'll offer you 2-3 very awesome values.
You'll choose just ONE and boldly explain why that one matters most to you.

Bonus #hcldr: I don't hear anyone else saying it so I'll say the (?)obvious:
A seat at the table is not enough. That's where tokens sit: "Token Negroes," "token women," "token patients." Tokenism is what you get in the MIDDLE of Arnstein's ladder, not the power tiers. 1/2 #hcldr

2/2 Bonus #hcldr Here again is Arnstein's Ladder - from the LBJ administration, when citizens yelled for a voice in whether their NEIGHBORHOOD got torn down for highways. A token "seat at the table" got them nowhere - they needed POWER.
Bonus #hcldr Running overtime here. Note that the lowest rungs there is NO participation: you get duped / manipulated to keep out of the way; or "therapy" - some salve or buyoff to supposedly help you feel better (not unlike flattery during a rape, and I'm not kidding) 1/

1)Follow up appts, essential to a patient’s health & recovery, are listed as part of the discharge summary. These appts are recommended to be scheduled within 7-10 days. To be best prepared, patients need their records. #healthcare #PtExp #PtSafety #PtEng #EHR #GMDD #medtwitter
2)All records from a patient's hospital admission should be AUTOMATICALLY sent to every listed follow-up physician. Hospitals, you know which drs patients need to see; it’s listed in the discharge plans. This step needs to be embedded in the workflow #PtExp #EHR #interoperability
