| Lanna Felde @LannaFelde A1: Open-ended questions. Sitting down (@blairgolden). Talking about less controversial topics first that allow me to align with the patient's interests #JHMChat |
 | Christopher D. Jackson, MD @ChrisDJacksonMD Chris Jackson checking in here from @UTHSC_Medicine #JHMChat |
| Charlie M. Wray, DO, MS @WrayCharles @gradydoctor @SamirShahMD @JHospMedicine @michellebr00ks I had a reminder to remind you about tonight's #JHMChat. I lost the reminder 😂 |
| Journal of Hospital Medicine @JHospMedicine @LannaFelde @UTSWHospitalMed Hi my digital media sister! Thanks for the support! #JHMChat |

 | Dhruv Srinivasachar MD (he/el/ele.) @TheRealDSrini @JHospMedicine @michellebr00ks Just in time! Dhruv Srinivasachar, PGY-1 in Med-Peds @WMUMedicine. Probably the most junior of those in #JHMChat tonight? |

| Dr. Jennifer Chen, MD FAAP 林 明 堯 @DrJenChen4kids @JHospMedicine @michellebr00ks #JHMChat San Diego #tweetiatrician here, finished notes and got home just in time 😎 https://t.co/mUXsMnPlRv |

| Society of Hospital Medicine @SocietyHospMed @TheRealDSrini @JHospMedicine @michellebr00ks @WMUMedicine All hospitalists are welcome! Glad you could make it again--and right on time today! 😉 #JHMChat |

| Society of Hospital Medicine @SocietyHospMed @ChrisDJacksonMD @UTHSC_Medicine Welcome to the conversation! Happy to have you. #JHMChat |
| Kimberly D. Manning, MD @gradydoctor @JHospMedicine A1: I also think it's important to never assume people don't understand. Many people know waaaaaay more than we give them credit for knowing. Can't find out unless we ask! #JHMChat |
| Lanna Felde @LannaFelde I see you lurkers 👀@michellebr00ks #JHMChat https://t.co/lLopVZRx4t |
| Journal of Hospital Medicine @JHospMedicine Listening is key! #JHMChat |
| Christopher D. Jackson, MD @ChrisDJacksonMD Listen twice as much as I speak. #JHMChat |
| Journal of Hospital Medicine @JHospMedicine @LaurenMazzurco @michellebr00ks We see you there! #JHMChat https://t.co/LX4e1uVxF0 |
 | Mark Shapiro, MD @ETSshow @HeatherNHofmann @CleClinicMD @gradydoctor Mark Shapiro here! Hospitalist, host of Explore The Space Podcast & #FriendOfTheJournal here Delighted to follow along w/ #JHMChat |
| Charlie M. Wray, DO, MS @WrayCharles @gradydoctor @JHospMedicine Going deeper. I've found that it's so important to show that I'm "on their team" and that ultimately we both (usually) want the same thing. Health and happiness #JHMChat |
| Society of Hospital Medicine @SocietyHospMed @HeatherNHofmann @CleClinicMD @gradydoctor Thanks for joining us! #JHMChat |
| Journal of Hospital Medicine @JHospMedicine @WolfsonD @gradydoctor Welcome! Thanks for being in this space with us. #JHMChat |
| Ndidi Unaka MD, MEd @NdidiUnaka @JHospMedicine A1: I often do a poor job facilitating difficult conversations if I have preconceived notions of what patients and families may be thinking or how they may react. So instead of thinking about the worse-case scenario, I force myself to think the opposite! #JHMChat |
| Society of Hospital Medicine @SocietyHospMed @ETSshow @HeatherNHofmann @CleClinicMD @gradydoctor Glad you're here, Mark! #JHMChat |
| Heather Hofmann, MD, FACP @HeatherNHofmann @jenreadlynn @STangGirdwood @JHospMedicine @michellebr00ks @CincyPHM @gradydoctor Pretty sure @WrayCharles and @aoglasser have thoughts on getting the most out of your work lol #JHMChat |
| Jen Readlynn, MD, FHM (she/her) @jenreadlynn @JHospMedicine A1: I learned that I have a lot more I could be doing from the article, but I try to sit down, make eye contact, repeat back what they say to me, and ask permission to ask them why they are making a decision. The whole "don't think about your response" is hard. #JHMChat |
| Dhruv Srinivasachar MD (he/el/ele.) @TheRealDSrini @JHospMedicine A1: Time is of the essence. Building trust is a journey and can be lost in one fell swoop. Always make your efforts about, for, & with the patient in mind. Though @gradydoctor's A1 is mine in more exact terms. #JHMChat |
| Journal of Hospital Medicine @JHospMedicine @DrJenChen4kids @SamirShahMD WE COULD NOT LOVE THIS MORE! You totally understood the assignment. #JHMChat |
| Mark Shapiro, MD @ETSshow RT @SocietyHospMed: @ETSshow @HeatherNHofmann @CleClinicMD @gradydoctor Glad you're here, Mark! #JHMChat |
| Blair Golden @blairgolden @LannaFelde Yes to sitting! I also like to have more challenging conversations take place over multiple encounters so that no one feels rushed and we all have time to reflect between conversations, but that can be SO hard in the inpatient setting. #JHMChat |
| Ben Kinnear @Midwest_MedPeds @ChrisDJacksonMD TLR! @JHospMedicine #JHMChat https://t.co/X5oQ9ou3Sc |

| Sonya Tang Girdwood 鄧 智佳, MD, PhD @STangGirdwood @JHospMedicine For patients who have been hospitalized a long time or multiple times, trying to know as much of their past history as possible. I learned this the hard way during a care conf when a patient’s family mentioned a significant event in the past that I didn’t know about. #JHMChat |
| Shub Agrawal, MD MBA @ShubAgrawalMD @JHospMedicine A1. Listen, listen, listen! And finding common ground are the two things I've found most helpful #JHMChat |
| Journal of Hospital Medicine @JHospMedicine RT @NdidiUnaka: @JHospMedicine A1: @JHospMedicine A1: I often do a poor job facilitating difficult conversations if I have preconceived notions of what patients and families may be thinking or how they may react. So instead of thinking about the worse-case scenario, I force myself to think the opposite! #JHMChat |
| Anika Kumar, MD (she/her) @freckledpedidoc @JHospMedicine A1. I try to understand others’ perspectives. @gradydoctor & colleagues’ Step 4 & 5 (Listening & Common Ground) are 🔑!! As a Pediatric Hospitalist, I’ve encountered vaccine hesitancy for my entire medical career & the authors highlighted strategies that often work well. #JHMChat |
| Kimberly D. Manning, MD @gradydoctor @WrayCharles @JHospMedicine That is so true. When I am rushed I make assumptions and that's when I miss the mark. #JHMChat |
| Bernardrdoom @doctorlaraber #JHMChat A1. 1 me presento , le pregunto cómo quiere que lo llame y como puede llamarme. Para posterior Preguntar su mayor inquietud respecto al tema. 2. Siempre contacto visual y no hacer gestos faciales, modulando la voz de forma agradable |
| Lanna Felde @LannaFelde love all of this and another thing i learned from @gradydoctor: find something you have in common with the patient even if it's "I hate being admitted to the hospital too" #jhmchat |
| Journal of Hospital Medicine @JHospMedicine @TheRealDSrini @gradydoctor Welcome back @TheRealDSrini! #JHMChat |
 | Mary Ann @maryannscience1 #JHMChat Hi folks! I’m Mary Ann, a medical writer supporting hospitalists in Emory’s Division of Hospital Medicine. Psyched to get some @gradydoctor wisdom! |

| Charlie M. Wray, DO, MS @WrayCharles @ChrisDJacksonMD @vineet_chopra & @sanjaysaint have a great @JHospMedicine about the TLR (Talking to Listening Ratio). Magic number (if I recall correctly) was 0.7 (listen 70% of the time, talk 30% of the time) #JHMChat https://t.co/WdQlcRmOcl |
| Jen Readlynn, MD, FHM (she/her) @jenreadlynn @gradydoctor @JHospMedicine Thanks for that Dr. Manning. I realize I often make assumptions about what I think families are going to do in a goals of care discussion and am often surprised. It's so much more helpful to listen and learn and then plan with them. #JHMChat |
| Society of Hospital Medicine @SocietyHospMed @maryannscience1 @gradydoctor Welcome! Happy to have you here. #JHMChat |
| Kimberly D. Manning, MD @gradydoctor @TheRealDSrini @JHospMedicine Totally. But sometimes we can speed the process through our body language, intonation, and nonverbal communication skills. A little goes a long way. People hate to feel rushed. #JHMChat |
| Ndidi Unaka MD, MEd @NdidiUnaka RT @gradydoctor: @JHospMedicine A1: @JHospMedicine A1: 1. Build rapport. 2. See what's important to them. 3. Get permission. 4. Use living room language. 5. Don't preach. 6. Listen without judging. 7. More gratitude. #JHMChat |

| Journal of Hospital Medicine @JHospMedicine @TheRealDSrini @michellebr00ks @WMUMedicine I don't think you are! But we're glad you're here! #JHMChat |
| Shub Agrawal, MD MBA @ShubAgrawalMD @jenreadlynn @JHospMedicine I agree - the non-verbal cues are so important! And go such a long way, especially these days when everyone is in a rush and often covered in PPE #JHMchat |
| Kimberly D. Manning, MD @gradydoctor @MelissaPlesacMD @JHospMedicine OMG this is so clutch. My own bias landmines often make things go left. Am I tired? Hungry? Stressed? You hit the nail on the head, Melissa! #JHMChat |
| Journal of Hospital Medicine @JHospMedicine @jenreadlynn @STangGirdwood @michellebr00ks @CincyPHM @gradydoctor gosh we hope so. #JHMChat |
| Lanna Felde @LannaFelde Wow bienvenidos! genial que participes en español! #jhmchat |
| Journal of Hospital Medicine @JHospMedicine @DrJenChen4kids @michellebr00ks YAY! Great to have you. #JHMChat |
| Dr. Jennifer Chen, MD FAAP 林 明 堯 @DrJenChen4kids #JHMChat A1 🗣Ask what they’ve heard, provide better sources 🙋🏻♀️Use myself/family/staff as personal examples 💕Emphasize that we ask because we care! ❔Leave an opening eg “If you have more questions…” for future conversations - it’s almost never a one-time discussion |
| Society of Hospital Medicine @SocietyHospMed 📟 Our #JHMChat is happening NOW with guests @gradydoctor, @ShubAgrawalMD, and @YWimberlyMD. We’re talking about building trust through trustworthiness. 🤝 You don’t want to miss this important conversation with these incredible hospitalists. 💪 @JHospMedicine @michellebr00ks |
| Sonya Tang Girdwood 鄧 智佳, MD, PhD @STangGirdwood @NdidiUnaka @JHospMedicine Such a great idea! That worst-case scenario thinking amps me up and I’m sure the anxiety is palpable and felt by the family, making it even more uncomfortable for everyone to be open. #JHMChat |

| Erin Shaughnessy MD @EShaughnessyMD @JHospMedicine @michellebr00ks Hi from Birmingham AL! #JHMChat |
| Journal of Hospital Medicine @JHospMedicine @HeatherNHofmann @CleClinicMD @gradydoctor Please post another dog picture...#JHMChat |
| Journal of Hospital Medicine @JHospMedicine RT @WrayCharles: @gradydoctor @JHospMedicine Going deeper. I've found that it's so important to show that I'm "on their team" and that ultimately we both (usually) want the same thing. Health and happiness #JHMChat |
| Daniel Wolfson @WolfsonD First order priority is building a respectful & trusting relationship. By showing curiosity it shows you empathize with me. |
| Erin Shaughnessy MD @EShaughnessyMD RT @DrJenChen4kids: Home just in time to join #JHMChat with new #MyJHMMug thanks to @SamirShahMD! #LeadingByExample #KidVengers https://t.co/p1eX3B0ykZ |
| Society of Hospital Medicine @SocietyHospMed @ErinShaughness4 @JHospMedicine @michellebr00ks Welcome! Thanks for joining the conversation 🏥#JHMChat |
| Kimberly D. Manning, MD @gradydoctor @freckledpedidoc @JHospMedicine Yes, I love thinking about the unique perspectives of pediatricians, too. @YWimberlyMD works with adolescents in Peds and the skillset calls for something intentional for sure. #JHMChat |
| Heather Hofmann, MD, FACP @HeatherNHofmann When you’re too busy reading hospitalists’ answers that you don’t want to interrupt with your own A1 response... #JHMChat https://t.co/uWW8wl2PB8 |
| Samir S. Shah @SamirShahMD RT @DrJenChen4kids: Home just in time to join #JHMChat with new #MyJHMMug thanks to @SamirShahMD! #LeadingByExample #KidVengers https://t.co/p1eX3B0ykZ |
| Jen Readlynn, MD, FHM (she/her) @jenreadlynn @WrayCharles @gradydoctor @JHospMedicine Yes! We want you to get better and get out of the hospital or whatever the goal may be. We're both working toward that. I think sometimes we (at least I) forget to include the patient as a team member when things are busy (like now). #JHMChat |
| Journal of Hospital Medicine @JHospMedicine @ETSshow @HeatherNHofmann @CleClinicMD @gradydoctor Honored by your presence! #JHMChat |
| Charlie M. Wray, DO, MS @WrayCharles @LannaFelde @gradydoctor Great point @LannaFelde. Reminds me of the #OneSmallStep initiative that I heard about yesterday https://t.co/nGXgdcYCXe Find that common ground #JHMChat |
| Anika Kumar, MD (she/her) @freckledpedidoc @gradydoctor @JHospMedicine 4️⃣ is 🔑! I tell my trainees all the time that everyone speaks English, only the medical team speaks Medical-ese. However, I really like your term “Living Room Language.” #JHMChat |
| Dhruv Srinivasachar MD (he/el/ele.) @TheRealDSrini @gradydoctor @JHospMedicine I still feel like it's hard for me to develop trust in a single visit. I am in awe of those who can. #JHMChat |
| Journal of Hospital Medicine @JHospMedicine RT @jenreadlynn: @JHospMedicine A1: @JHospMedicine A1: I learned that I have a lot more I could be doing from the article, but I try to sit down, make eye contact, repeat back what they say to me, and ask permission to ask them why they are making a decision.

| Kimberly D. Manning, MD @gradydoctor @ShubAgrawalMD @JHospMedicine Hard cosign! #JHMChat |

| Ben Kinnear @Midwest_MedPeds @jenreadlynn @gradydoctor @JHospMedicine Makes me think of "the illusion of asymmetric insight". We often think we can read others, but they can't read us. @Gladwell wrote about it in his book Talking to Strangers. #JHMChat https://t.co/cGp8gkUup5 |
| Journal of Hospital Medicine @JHospMedicine RT @ShubAgrawalMD: @jenreadlynn @JHospMedicine I agree - the non-verbal cues are so important! And go such a long way, especially these days when everyone is in a rush and often covered in PPE #JHMchat |

| Journal of Hospital Medicine @JHospMedicine RT @gradydoctor: @MelissaPlesacMD @JHospMedicine OMG this is so clutch. My own bias landmines often make things go left. Am I tired? Hungry? Stressed? You hit the nail on the head, Melissa! #JHMChat |
| Dhruv Srinivasachar MD (he/el/ele.) @TheRealDSrini @freckledpedidoc @gradydoctor @JHospMedicine And even with that, not everyone is comfortable in English as their first language...use interpreters when appropriate! #JHMChat |
| Journal of Hospital Medicine @JHospMedicine RT @STangGirdwood: @JHospMedicine For patients who have been hospitalized a long time or multiple times, trying to know as much of their past history as possible. I learned this the hard way during a care conf when a patient’s family mentioned a significant event in the past that I didn’t know about. #JHMChat |
| Journal of Hospital Medicine @JHospMedicine RT @ShubAgrawalMD: @JHospMedicine A1. Listen, listen, listen! And finding common ground are the two things I've found most helpful #JHMChat |
| Journal of Hospital Medicine @JHospMedicine RT @freckledpedidoc: @JHospMedicine A1. I try to understand others’ perspectives. @gradydoctor & colleagues’ Step 4 & 5 (Listening & Common Ground) are 🔑!! As a Pediatric Hospitalist, I’ve encountered vaccine hesitancy for my entire medical career & the authors highlighted strategies that often work well. #JHMChat |
 | HealthCommunication @Comm_in_Care RT @gradydoctor: @JHospMedicine A1: @JHospMedicine A1: 1. Build rapport. 2. See what's important to them. 3. Get permission. 4. Use living room language. 5. Don't preach. 6. Listen without judging. 7. More gratitude. #JHMChat |

| Anika Kumar, MD (she/her) @freckledpedidoc @JHospMedicine A2. For me it’s often connecting with my adolescent patients with chronic illnesses on the topics of preventative care and long-term care.

| Ndidi Unaka MD, MEd @NdidiUnaka @JHospMedicine A2: For me, it is not so much the topic of discussion.

It's tough. #JHMChat |
| Heather Hofmann, MD, FACP @HeatherNHofmann A2: Difficult topic areas for me are ones that are complicated. Not necessarily life threatening, just complicated. Ones that require comprehensive care…So many steps and layers of understanding that we need to help our patients reach. #JHMChat |

| Renee Dversdal @DRsonosRD @JHospMedicine A2) hmmm, this one is tough! I guess I sort of embrace difficult discussions, as in my personal healthcare life (w parents), many were done poorly.

| Kimberly D. Manning, MD @gradydoctor @StefanKertesz @TheRealDSrini @JHospMedicine Hey Stefan! I was actually referencing a line in our paper but totally agree with you. This more probes why a person feels as they do. #JHMChat |
| Shitij Arora MD @arorashMD @JHospMedicine A3- Clean 👂 and an open mind. :) #jhmchat |
| @KarynDoc@mstdn.party @karynbaum @JHospMedicine A3 Reflection and mirroring, so they know I listened and can also correct me if I got it wrong. #JHMChat |
| Journal of Hospital Medicine @JHospMedicine May you always find a🪑chair. #JHMChat |
| Melissa Plesac @MelissaPlesacMD @JHospMedicine A3: its so small, but besides just sitting I make sure that the TV is off, the patient has their glasses or hearing aids, is positioned comfortably, etc etc. I think about it like a procedure, preparation is a HUGE part of success #JHMChat |
| Yichi Zhang (张一弛) @YichiZzzzz @JHospMedicine A3: Bring myself down to the same level, always. Before I try to say anything, intentionally pause to give the patient a chance to finish elaborating. Often those 3 seconds allow the patient time to provide a key piece of info that vivids your clinical picture greatly! #JHMChat |
| Dhruv Srinivasachar MD (he/el/ele.) @TheRealDSrini @JHospMedicine A3: Sit down, lean in, open up, and shut your mouth...let the patient talk. But try to find appropriate points to acknowledge the patient's experience and feelings. It's a delicate balancing act... #JHMChat |
| Heather Hofmann, MD, FACP @HeatherNHofmann @jessdreicer @JHospMedicine Also, #JHMChat please say 👋🏻 to another #healthcarecommunication champion, @jessdreicer! |

Trust is not built overnight - it takes time. #JHMChat |
| Anika Kumar, MD (she/her) @freckledpedidoc @gradydoctor @ErinShaughness4 @JHospMedicine It goes back to Step 5 of your process @gradydoctor, common ground. Reaching Common Ground and approaching diagnosis & treatment with Shared Decision Making is what allows patients trust us. It reminds them, and us, that humanity is present in medicine #JHMChat |
| Erin Shaughnessy MD @EShaughnessyMD @gradydoctor @JHospMedicine Yes. And that love can help them make the best decisions when the choice is framed around what they most want for their child #JHMChat |
| Sonya Tang Girdwood 鄧 智佳, MD, PhD @STangGirdwood @gradydoctor @JHospMedicine Not usually during a difficult conversation. I have no qualms about telling families about my faith when it comes up naturally in conversation - ie I might say my husband is a pastor or I serve at church- but I don’t think I have when someone tells me that God will…XYZ #JHMChat |
| Jen Readlynn, MD, FHM (she/her) @jenreadlynn @YichiZTulane @JHospMedicine Great point! It's so hard to feel helpless and limited. I don't have advice but just see things changing for the better and encourage you to be part of that change where it best fits for you. #JHMChat |
 | G. Ahmed,M.D @AhemdDr RT @StefanKertesz: @gradydoctor @TheRealDSrini @JHospMedicine Is #WhatsYourWhy perhaps a reminder? Sometimes “why do you” (coming form a doctor) sounds reproachful. But “what are some reasons you are thinking that?” conveys our curiosity #JHMchat |
| Dr. Jennifer Chen, MD FAAP 林 明 堯 @DrJenChen4kids @STangGirdwood @gradydoctor @JHospMedicine Should note this applies to pts of ANY faith background - offering to have their spiritual leader come in (when appropriate) if your hospital doesn’t have the equivalent person (rabbi, iman, monk, etc) can be really meaningful for the pt/family #JHMChat |
| Jessica Markham @jmarks614 @YichiZTulane @JHospMedicine It’s so important to consider social determinants of health but sometimes these can be challenging and vulnerable topics for families. I try to normalize that many families have unmet needs but would love to learn how others address this with pts/families. #JHMChat |
| Kimberly D. Manning, MD @gradydoctor @JHospMedicine A3: 1. Hands in my lap. 2. Full eye contact. 3. Reflect back what I hear and clarify what isn't clear. 4. Probe for more. I also like to reflect back something they told me before. Like: Me: "Did your youngest son get his driver's license?" #JHMChat |
| Blair Golden @blairgolden @templeratcliffe I find that for me, sitting is not just about body language but also helps me be more comfortable & relaxed and so I can more present and focused on my patient #JHMChat |
| Journal of Hospital Medicine @JHospMedicine @HeatherNHofmann @jessdreicer Welcome @jessdreicer! Thanks for joining us! #JHMChat |
| Journal of Hospital Medicine @JHospMedicine RT @LannaFelde: love all of this and another thing i learned from @gradydoctor: love all of this and another thing i learned from @gradydoctor: find something you have in common with the patient even if it's "I hate being admitted to the hospital too" #jhmchat |

| Mary Ann @maryannscience1 #JHMChat reading these tips reminds me of advice for dealing with small children—a lot boils down to showing folks that you respect and believe them, no matter how much taller you are |
| Stefan Kertesz, MD, MSc @StefanKertesz A3: Much Wisdom here - physically at same level as patient (or lower). Wait Wait As a listener I like to tap my inner story-seeker. I enjoy it! Patients recognize it. I also restate what I just heard and ask “gosh did I get that right or bungle it?” #JHMchat |
| Ndidi Unaka MD, MEd @NdidiUnaka @JHospMedicine A3: I try and make sure my non verbal cues signal that I am actually listening (sit down, stay quiet, put my phone on silent etc.). I also try to repeat back what patients/ families share and acknowledge their point-of view. #JHMChat |
| Kimberly D. Manning, MD @gradydoctor @YWimberlyMD @JHospMedicine Sit on your hands! Me, too, Yolanda! #JHMChat |
| Sonya Tang Girdwood 鄧 智佳, MD, PhD @STangGirdwood @gradydoctor @JHospMedicine I think it’s because I worry they may think my faith is weak if I don’t agree or they bring up Scripture I don’t know. I mean I’m supposed to believe if we have faith as big as a mustard seed, we can move mountains, right? This could be a whole other topic for #JHMChat |
| Renee Dversdal @DRsonosRD @YichiZTulane @JHospMedicine Unfortunately many people return to this stage later in life as well...so I think of us all as being patient advocates, whether a minor or an elder. #JHMchat |
| Jen Readlynn, MD, FHM (she/her) @jenreadlynn @TheRealDSrini @freckledpedidoc @gradydoctor @JHospMedicine I actually learned from one our mandatory trainings (😲I know, bear with me), to bring an interpreter for you, not the patient if they insist on a family member. Family is there for the patient, interpreter is there as staff interpreter. #JHMChat |
| Kimberly D. Manning, MD @gradydoctor @MelissaPlesacMD @JHospMedicine Dang Melissa you dropping all the pearls. #JHMChat |
| Charlie M. Wray, DO, MS @WrayCharles @templeratcliffe Unfortunately, turns out we don't do it as much as we should... https://t.co/XoVRGy4y4z via @blairgolden #JHMChat |
| Melissa Plesac @MelissaPlesacMD @JHospMedicine A3: Would also say I try really hard to think about and then practice how different it feels when you listen to respond vs listen to truly hear. It just feels different to me, and I always try to talk to my team about that #JHMChat |
| Jess Dreicer, MD @jessdreicer @JHospMedicine A3. I sit down, start with an open ended question, and let the patient completely finish answering my question. (Unless they have mania, then I gently redirect). #JHMChat |
| Journal of Hospital Medicine @JHospMedicine Almost in tears at some of these answers - yes. "Humanity is present in medicine." @freckledpedidoc #JHMChat |
| Journal of Hospital Medicine @JHospMedicine Had to share this from the article and confess... Sometimes it is difficult for me to listen without any agenda. Planning what I'm going to say next is an ongoing struggle for me to fully engage. With topic 4️⃣, we will dive a little deeper into this... #JHMChat https://t.co/DmBTIpjmSY |
| Anika Kumar, MD (she/her) @freckledpedidoc @YichiZTulane @DRsonosRD @JHospMedicine That’s where open conversation and common ground is most important. I know there are several pediatric hospitalists on this #JHMChat who would agree. @NdidiUnaka @STangGirdwood @ErinShaughness4 @DrJenChen4kids @SamirShahMD |
| Heather Hofmann, MD, FACP @HeatherNHofmann A3: reflective listening is 🔑 #JHMChat. |
| Shub Agrawal, MD MBA @ShubAgrawalMD @jessdreicer @JHospMedicine I love this approach! #JHMChat |
| Charlie M. Wray, DO, MS @WrayCharles @gradydoctor @MelissaPlesacMD @JHospMedicine Yeah, she's good #JHMChat |
| Journal of Hospital Medicine @JHospMedicine 3 seconds seems like a long time, but I love the idea of that intentional space! #JHMChat |
| Jen Readlynn, MD, FHM (she/her) @jenreadlynn @SocietyHospMed @HeatherNHofmann @michellebr00ks @SamirShahMD I just keep getting NFL ads (I don't watch football) and decluttering ads. #JHMChat Maybe they do know something. 🤔 |

| Melissa Plesac @MelissaPlesacMD @JHospMedicine Not to say I do it successfully all the time. But try to catch myself when I am listening to respond and wind back the tape #JHMChat |
| Journal of Hospital Medicine @JHospMedicine @jenreadlynn @SocietyHospMed @HeatherNHofmann @michellebr00ks @SamirShahMD I swear the phones are listening to us. #JHMChat |
| Jen Readlynn, MD, FHM (she/her) @jenreadlynn RT @LaurenMazzurco: A1: A1: love using the #PalliativeCare questions of “what are you hoping for?” “What are you worried about?” Gives a lot of info and guides discussion to meet wherever he/she/they are starting from #JHMChat |

| Charlie M. Wray, DO, MS @WrayCharles @gradydoctor @JHospMedicine I love this, Kimberly! When someone describes something/someone non-specifically (e.g., "My son and I went on a trip..."), I'll often ask "What's your son's name?". Shows I'm interested (and helps me connect dots) #JHMChat |
| Heather Hofmann, MD, FACP @HeatherNHofmann @JHospMedicine @jenreadlynn @SocietyHospMed @michellebr00ks @SamirShahMD That’s it. I’m just going to start texting patients and wait for the autocorrect to tell us what to say #JHMchat |
| Lauren Mazzurco @LaurenMazzurco Oops A3: and not just listen but allow people to feel heard and respected in their own voice |

| Jessica Markham @jmarks614 @JHospMedicine Sit down, relax, eye contact, pre-COVID an encouraging/gentle smile, and asking follow-up questions to show I’m engaged and want to hear their story!! #JHMChat |
| Shub Agrawal, MD MBA @ShubAgrawalMD @Arhait @JHospMedicine I really struggle with this too - I've found becoming more familiar with local resources and community organizations is a step that helps me make a plan with my patients. Also - acknowledging this struggle rather than ignoring it has gone such a long way building trust #JHMChat |
| Renee Dversdal @DRsonosRD @JHospMedicine A3) love many of the other replies here. I honestly have noticed that at time my 🧠 is the truest barrier to really listening. Learned from an ID doc to try and take the hand hygiene moment as a time to reset self, take a deep breath, and enter open. #JHMchat |

| Jen Readlynn, MD, FHM (she/her) @jenreadlynn @gradydoctor @freckledpedidoc @JHospMedicine It's so funny because I feel like my early training was to be neutral and not reveal too much of myself. It didn't sit right and I'm glad to see the opposite encouraged. One of the things that stood out to me from the article was sharing your own why with the patient. #JHMChat |

| Jen Readlynn, MD, FHM (she/her) @jenreadlynn @JHospMedicine @blairgolden @LannaFelde I mean I'm pretty clumsy. I should probably always be on fall precautions. #JHMChat |
| Heather Hofmann, MD, FACP @HeatherNHofmann @DrJenChen4kids These are great. For many of us, it takes effort to listen. It’s nice to see so many #JHMChat with similar approaches, as @gradydoctor & team presented |

| Journal of Hospital Medicine @JHospMedicine Topic 4️⃣ : How do you react when a patient choose a plan that differs from your recommendations? How might you redefine success in those situations? #JHMChat https://t.co/8T2KuIFhj9 |
| Kimberly D. Manning, MD @gradydoctor @DRsonosRD @JHospMedicine My goodness I love this answer. A personal reset while sanitizing hands. Yes and yes. #JHMChat |
| Anika Kumar, MD (she/her) @freckledpedidoc @jenreadlynn @gradydoctor @JHospMedicine Jen, I was taught the same. I find that when I am struggling to connect with patients, my vulnerability helps to bridge the gap. #JHMChat |

| Charlie M. Wray, DO, MS @WrayCharles @jenreadlynn @gradydoctor @freckledpedidoc @JHospMedicine I'm with you, Jen. Felt like I was trained to not reveal "who I am" and remain objective (whatever that means). Took me years to realize that was wrong and that "who I am" helps me connect with my patients #JHMChat |
| Jessica Markham @jmarks614 @TheRealDSrini @JHospMedicine Yes yes it does!! #JHMChat https://t.co/H6uCQ1m6Tm |
| Dr. Jennifer Chen, MD FAAP 林 明 堯 @DrJenChen4kids @YWimberlyMD @JHospMedicine Have to wonder why they came to see you in the first place! Sometimes just have to acknowledge that you’re not going to convince that pt at least that time 🤷🏻♀️ “These are my recs, you can choose to follow them or not, but if not then you need to watch out for this…” #JHMChat |
| Sonya Tang Girdwood 鄧 智佳, MD, PhD @STangGirdwood @jenreadlynn @gradydoctor @freckledpedidoc @JHospMedicine So true! I do remember being told as a medical student not to share personal info but I learned quickly that I connected best with my patients when we had shared common interest (often the football game of the week back then). #JHMChat |
| Journal of Hospital Medicine @JHospMedicine Last topic is up! We are almost out of time! I cannot believe how fast this went by. #JHMChat |
| Heather Hofmann, MD, FACP @HeatherNHofmann Let’s acknowledge that we are building good, effective habits for conversation.

| Yichi Zhang (张一弛) @YichiZzzzz @JHospMedicine A4: Understand the Why! The patient's explanation can often inspire you to create an even better, more personalized, and comprehensive third plan that neither of you thought of before! #JHMChat |
| @KarynDoc@mstdn.party @karynbaum @JHospMedicine A4 Look, as long as they understand, I communicated well, gave them space to make the decision, and it's not motivated by lack of resource, it's all fine. We all have different values and imperatives. This isn't a contest. It's me giving an adult info and a choice #JHMChat |
| Lanna Felde @LannaFelde A4: I try to be cognizant of other small successes for my patient, my team and myself. For example ✅we made the patient feel heard ✅the team learned from this #JHMChat |
| Dhruv Srinivasachar MD (he/el/ele.) @TheRealDSrini @JHospMedicine A4: The recommendations I give are those that I feel give the most benefit with the least risk...if a patient wants to take on risk or cannot afford the optimum treatment, I redefine success as getting to a treatment plan that has benefit and the patient can stick to...#JHMChat |

| Anika Kumar, MD (she/her) @freckledpedidoc @JHospMedicine A4. I think I do my best to educate my patients. If families choose an option that I may not 💯 agree with, I thank them for allowing me to participate in the care & pledge to do what we collectively agree is the plan for the child. #JHMChat |
| Kimberly D. Manning, MD @gradydoctor @JHospMedicine That open door is so clutch. I can't count how many people looped back just because they could. I also reflect on the MANY decisions I make based on what I think. It is the patient's right to have their own opinion. I can respect that. #JHMChat |
| Ndidi Unaka MD, MEd @NdidiUnaka @JHospMedicine A4: This can be situation-dependent. However, I always acknowledge how challenging it must be for patients/ families to make health-related decisions (especially during an admission) and that I know they are approaching the decision wanting the best for their child #JHMChat |

| Dhruv Srinivasachar MD (he/el/ele.) @TheRealDSrini @JHospMedicine Also, keep in mind that if the recommendation relates to admission to a hospital, caregiving is a factor...people often resist admission simply because there's no one to take care of the kids, or parents, or pets...#JHMChat |

| Renee Dversdal @DRsonosRD @JHospMedicine A1) wow, great topics tonight! Success to me is the patient and/or family making a truly educated decision. I don't have to like the decision, but I have to give 100% of my effort to give all the pertinent info in an understandable way, and then respect their autonomy. #JHMchat |
| Dr. Jennifer Chen, MD FAAP 林 明 堯 @DrJenChen4kids @gradydoctor @JHospMedicine I’ll often start follow-up visits with “Last time you told me…, how are things going now?” Clearly documenting things like siblings’ names (even if sibs haven’t been my patient) also helps the family feel I’m more connected to all of them 😁 #JHMChat |
| Melissa Plesac @MelissaPlesacMD @JHospMedicine A4: My primary goal when this happens is to make sure the patient knows that this doesn't change how I feel about them, or the care I will provide for them. Am always thinking of ways to communicate that effectively and worry I fall short sometimes #JHMChat |
| Kimberly D. Manning, MD @gradydoctor @TheRealDSrini @JHospMedicine I love the humanism in this approach, Dhruv! #JHMChat |
| Anika Kumar, MD (she/her) @freckledpedidoc @JHospMedicine I often ask my team to share their feedback with me a privately reflect on the interaction. In my own medical journey I’ve disagreed with my physicians, doesn’t mean we can’t move forward in our relationship and partner in my care. #jhmchat |
| Charlie M. Wray, DO, MS @WrayCharles @NdidiUnaka @JHospMedicine I really like this answer, Ndidi. As it acknowledges that decisions (however straightforward we see them as physicians) aren't as easy for our patients. They're struggling with this too! #JHMChat |
| Maha Sulieman @MahaArhait @JHospMedicine A4 time for a consult - unnecessary one 🤪 #JHMChat |
| Sonya Tang Girdwood 鄧 智佳, MD, PhD @STangGirdwood @JHospMedicine My initial reaction is disappointment, likely followed by venting (not in front of family). But I do thank the family for engaging w/me. For our longer-term patients whom I will see again the next time on service, I define success as the family willing to engage again #JHMChat |
 | Michael Cosimini (he/him) @MichaelCosimini @JHospMedicine A3: lots of good stuff already posted. -I was taught once that when using computer point you knees at patient even if you cannot fully direct body at patient. Need to look up data on that. #JHMChat |
| Erin Shaughnessy MD @EShaughnessyMD RT @LannaFelde: A4: A4: I try to be cognizant of other small successes for my patient, my team and myself. For example ✅we made the patient feel heard ✅the team learned from this #JHMChat |
| ABIM Foundation @ABIMFoundation RT @LannaFelde: A4: A4: I try to be cognizant of other small successes for my patient, my team and myself. For example ✅we made the patient feel heard ✅the team learned from this #JHMChat |
| Journal of Hospital Medicine @JHospMedicine RT @YWimberlyMD: @JHospMedicine A4: @JHospMedicine A4: I respect what their decision. It is their decision and their body. I may schedule a follow up depending on how the conversation went and if I think there is a chance for more dicussion with a different decision. #JHMChat |

| Dhruv Srinivasachar MD (he/el/ele.) @TheRealDSrini @YWimberlyMD @JHospMedicine As one of my attendings @WMUMedicine opines...patients have the power to make decisions we think are bad...but at the same time...parents cannot make martyrs of their kids...delicate balancing act there...#JHMChat |

| Kimberly D. Manning, MD @gradydoctor @WrayCharles @NdidiUnaka @JHospMedicine It also acknowledges that it often isn't black and white. Doctors don't always agree with each other! #JHMChat |
| Heather Hofmann, MD, FACP @HeatherNHofmann RT @ChrisDJacksonMD: A4 I appreciate the therapeutic alliance that starts when a patient feels comfortable expressing a decision that differs from my recommendation #JHMChat |
| Lauren Mazzurco @LaurenMazzurco @JHospMedicine A4: ultimately people make choices that reflect their values/preferences(which sometimes are divergent to that which we feel is “appropriate” in medicine) validate and educate to ensure they have info in they way they understand to make best choice for themselves/family #JHMChat |

| Sonya Tang Girdwood 鄧 智佳, MD, PhD @STangGirdwood @jenreadlynn @gradydoctor @freckledpedidoc @JHospMedicine And to bring it back to @gradydoctor’s question about whether I disclose my faith when families make faith-based decisions, I was explicitly told as a med student not to disclose my faith nor wear jewelry that indicated my faith. So it’s taken time to unlearn that. #JHMChat |

| Shub Agrawal, MD MBA @ShubAgrawalMD @JHospMedicine A4: I try to explore their reasoning, clarify where our preferred plans differ and then tell them my job is to help support them even if we disagree. I also try and walk through both plans - the plan that reflects their path and another that reflects a compromise #JHMChat |

| Renee Dversdal @DRsonosRD @gradydoctor @WrayCharles @NdidiUnaka @JHospMedicine Yessssss! The saying that always pops into my head is the only certain things in life are death and taxes, but obvi that's not the best in the hospital 😂🤦♀️. Sometimes I say if you asked 3 of my peers you'd get 3 answers. Would love any other tips or sayings folks use! #JHMchat |

| Jen Readlynn, MD, FHM (she/her) @jenreadlynn @ShubAgrawalMD @Arhait @JHospMedicine Yes! Working on a project to increase screening and was reminded from other work to make sure we have a plan for what to do if we get more positives. We have some great local projects on food insecurity that I try to learn about and utilize. It's progress. #JHMChat |

| Bug Pharmacist 💊🧫 Tim Gauthier @IDstewardship RT @DrJenChen4kids: #JHMChat A3: 👀 Eye contact is key (luckily I can type w/out looking) 👂If I absolutely have to check something else (eg get paged) then ask pt to excuse me 🤐 If I feel I want to interrupt, have to actively block myself to let pt/family finish their train of thought |
| Dr. Jennifer Chen, MD FAAP 林 明 堯 @DrJenChen4kids #JHMChat A4: there’s some frustration but really need to understand the pt/family’s WHY. Try to break down care barriers (eg LEP, finances, lack of transport), offer reasonable alternatives if situation not life threatening Success: pt/family agrees to try something/follow up! |
| Kimberly D. Manning, MD @gradydoctor @ShubAgrawalMD @JHospMedicine Explore their reasoning and then let them know your role as a supporter. I think that really builds trust. Ultimately you co-create a plan. #JHMChat |

A huge thank you to them for this important and uplifting conversation. 🙌 🎉 Kudos to @michellebr00ks for leading the discussion as @JHospMedicine. See you all next month! |
| Shub Agrawal, MD MBA @ShubAgrawalMD @karynbaum @JHospMedicine I love that you include 'not motivated by a lack of resources' - so important to see if there are any mitigating factors! #JHMChat |

| Jen Readlynn, MD, FHM (she/her) @jenreadlynn @JHospMedicine A4: It's hard, but ultimately it's their life and their values. I still try to show support and tell them I'm still going to care for them. Or even if a patient leaves earlier than planned, they are always welcome back to receive care. Keeping the connection is #1. #JHMChat |
| Shub Agrawal, MD MBA @ShubAgrawalMD @YWimberlyMD @JHospMedicine @gradydoctor Couldn't agree more! #JHMChat |
| Jen Readlynn, MD, FHM (she/her) @jenreadlynn @gradydoctor @freckledpedidoc @JHospMedicine I love how the article modeled gratitude to both open and close the conversation. Keeps the patient first. #JHMchat |
| Kimberly D. Manning, MD @gradydoctor @STangGirdwood @jenreadlynn @freckledpedidoc @JHospMedicine Same. When our identities intersect, I think it's okay relating to patients using our overlap. Not to manipulate but to let them know I get it. LIke, if you quote scripture, I may even probe based on my understanding. Especially if it is an important decision. #JHMChat |
| Michelle Brooks, MD, SFHM @michellebr00ks Omg this is more of the content I need. #JHMChat |
| Michelle Brooks, MD, SFHM @michellebr00ks @LannaFelde Too kind @LannaFelde. The bar is always set high by you! Now I have to figure out how to have my blog post written in like 24 hours. 😂 #JHMChat |
| Jen Readlynn, MD, FHM (she/her) @jenreadlynn RT @HeatherNHofmann: Let’s acknowledge that we are building good, effective habits for conversation. Many of us never thought this needed to be taught at the graduate or post-graduate/faculty levels. But here we are. Because we care. That’s the hospitalist #why. #jhmchat @gradydoctor |
