Certificate of Need (CON) regulations are an outdated, blunt and unnecessary regulatory lever In a world with alternative payment models, hospital at home, growth of post acute care options and many other ways to reduce hospitalization costs
Possible that regulators loosened restrictions on creating real beds during the early days of the Covid emergency when the surge of cases made it necessary? Made sense then, not now! You alternate theories/insights welcome? 🙏 9/9

This is the problem - even hotels don’t run at 100% - kills any flow. Also data-based see fig 1: https://t.co/c0F2JpgMKu
@AlexJankeMD @Ted_Melnick
Observation: hospitals endeavor to run at 100 percent capacity, like hotels. Better for profit but they should leave some beds vacant for an uptick in demand. They are overbooking like airlines. Patient can’t get a $500 coupon to take a later flight. 6/9

See figure 2 https://t.co/qVZcO27xiK
What’s going on? Observation: the ER is now 4 or 5 times the size than when I worked there. But the number of true inpatient beds hasn’t increased proportionately. Hospitals can charge you for an inpatient room in the overflow unit. 5/9

Healthcare rant of the week: My husband has recently spent 7 days (2 admissions) in a kind of new invention of US healthcare hell: the “emergency department overflow unit.” Help me solve the mystery of how these places of purgatory came to be 1/9

As a workforce health services researcher I would love that PECOS specialty designation! No other way to measure the current capacity of specialty healthcare teams or primary care across the nation @CameronGettel @cleebennett
5/ Interestingly, the independence and autonomy of their advanced practice providers works against them in MSSP attribution☹️ The rule change for a 48-month MD visit lookback (starting 2025) will help, but surely there's a better way (optional NP/PA PECOS specialty designation?)

I recently had a VERY COMMON annual cancer screening at @UCSFHospitals. My primary care provider is @onemedical. Some people might call me a healthcare "interoperability expert", and at minimum, I am someone who has worked in the field for many years. AND YET...

Emergency Physician spend just 6 mins in the EHR per visit and the majority of time documenting and not reviewing critical data and history - we need to support emergency physician workload better https://t.co/JOZXzJk26h
