Andrew Olson, MD @andrewolsonmd

◦facility billing, ◦professionals billing ◦medical legal ◦Communication to other providers/ specialists ◦Comunicatiin to patients #JHMChat
Yichi Zhang (张一弛) @YichiZzzzz
@JHospMedicine A1: From a student's perspective, the primary purpose of my notes is to help translate my learned schemas into something more concrete. It helps me practice elaborating my clinical reasoning and is also a great platform for residents/attendings to give regular feedback! #JHMChat
Michelle Brooks, MD, SFHM @michellebr00ks
@JHospMedicine A1: I think of it as two-fold. One is for communication - for consultants/other docs (and with more transparency, sometimes patients). Two is how we get paid. And all docs who bill for "E/M" services get paid to think. #JHMChat

Temple Ratcliffe, MD, MS-HPEd @templeratcliffe
A1: Honestly, sitting down to dd each note gives me protected time to think. Writing is thinking. #JHMChat
Gopi Astik @gopiastik
@JHospMedicine A1: Primary purpose of notes is to convey medical information to other members of the care team across sites and encounters. I teach learners both to describe clinical reasoning but also to be specific to capture diagnoses for coding & quality. #JHMChat
Subha Airan-Javia MD FAMIA (she/her) @subhaairan
@andrewolsonmd @JHospMedicine Absolutely - that was the other thing I was going to say :) "model good behavior" #JHMChat
Mark Shapiro, MD @ETSshow
@JHospMedicine A1: for me, notes are to organize my thinking, serve as reminder for later in day/next day/off service, 3rd order (weak) communication tool For hospital/organization: billing & publicly reported metrics #JHMChat

Charlie M. Wray, DO, MS @WrayCharles
@JHospMedicine My 2 cents...To say notes have a singular purpose is probably an oversimplification. For me: (1) Help me process my thoughts, (2) Communicates to colleagues, (3) no billing for me (benefits of VA) #JHMChat
Ndidi Unaka MD, MEd @NdidiUnaka
@JHospMedicine In my mind, notes serve a couple of purposes - the most important being a way to convey a patient's clinical status at a point in time and as an opportunity for a member of the care team to share their thought process and plan. #JHMChat

@JHospMedicine #JHMChat Q1 primary purpose of #clinicalnotes: Memorializing to myself and communicating to others what happened to the patient, why, and what clinical actions/decisions were taken/made. Also, because I have to write a note.

Anika Kumar, MD (she/her) @freckledpedidoc
@JHospMedicine A1. I teach Trainees that notes are how we communicate to colleagues & document a patient's story through their hospital stay. Recently, a lot of weight has been placed on using notes for billing. I feel that conflicts with what I teach. #JHMChat

@WrayCharles @JHospMedicine Agree with you @WrayCharles - I find that as we use them to document our thoughts >> document data (that exists more cleanly elsewhere) the better we'll do! #JHMChat
Blair Golden @blairgolden
@JHospMedicine A1. Admittedly, I think the function of notes as a billing tool sometimes requires a distinct communication skillset….but would love thoughts from @gopiastik and others about how to synergize these purposes! #JHMChat https://t.co/uVFlc5yXR3

Michelle Brooks, MD, SFHM @michellebr00ks
@JHospMedicine A1: in terms of teaching, agree with the feedback. We switched to a "one note" system, so I had to regularly read and edit student notes that had been read/edited by residents. Great opportunity to discuss making clinical reasoning explicit but succinct. #JHMChat

Subha Airan-Javia MD FAMIA (she/her) @subhaairan
@medrants could not agree more. everything is structured around the assessment & plan i'm a big proponent of 1) problem based and 2) writing histories by problem as well, instead of chronologic. that way you can fit things into clinical frameworks #JHMChat

@andrewolsonmd @JHospMedicine I know you well enough to know you don’t ask rhetorical questions Pal Yes it does, one that puts note writer in a bind, causes “note-bloat”, leads to endless queries/questions, causes much cognitive dissonance, does little to improve patient care #JHMChat

#JHMChat Documentation serves many - too many - purposes. We'd like to think it should be for communication, recording observations and considerations, and education, there are many more stakeholders that value the work we do when writing notes. This now includes engaged patients

@JHospMedicine Seeing all these great responses makes me wonder - what if we were to "invent" the note in the EHR era? We we wouldn't document much "data" at all since it is elsewhere. We used to do that because it was hard to find, but now it is our thinking/rationale that matters. #JHMChat
Sherine Salib @DrSherineSalib
@JHospMedicine A1. I emphasize to my learners that the medical note is much more than a billing tool. I highlight the importance of the *why* behind documentation. Documentation is: ➡️a communication tool ➡️a powerful clinical reasoning tool ➡️ a #MedEd assessment tool #JHMChat
Journal of Hospital Medicine @JHospMedicine
@MattSakumoto @myopennotes This prioritization is 🔥 #JHMChat

Michelle Brooks, MD, SFHM @michellebr00ks
@andrewolsonmd @ETSshow @JHospMedicine Huge tension - especially the HPI of some notes where it was obviously clicked through - ends up not telling the story, just clicking enough of the OLDCARTS questions to get the highest billable "history." #JHMChat
Anika Kumar, MD (she/her) @freckledpedidoc
RT @medrants: Beautifully stated #JHMChat
Gopi Astik @gopiastik
I definitely think there’s a way to do both. Early in the stay, definitely write differentials and think out possible diagnoses with corresponding plans. BUT by the end (discharge summary) be able to say the patient has (or likely/probably has) a specific condition. #JHMChat
Subha Airan-Javia MD FAMIA (she/her) @subhaairan
@ETSshow @JHospMedicine Curious about your take on communication. I agree it is not the best way for "acute" communication. But beyond the current admission, notes are the only way to know what happened, so i've always thought about them as a very important communication tool #JHMChat

@JHospMedicine Best practices for trainees - the best notes are concise, and highlight pertinent events/ changes. Delete old info!!! Notes should not be a record of everything that has occurred during a hospitalization. #JHMChat
Andrew Olson, MD @andrewolsonmd
@MattSakumoto @ShreyaTrivediMD @medrants Agree - I've also found that notes have gotten shorter with experience but also relying way more on referencing data elsewhere in the EHR. #JHMChat

@andrewolsonmd @WrayCharles @JHospMedicine The thought-processing aspect is very real.

I *try* to avoid auto-populate even in the EHR to preserve some of this reflection. #JHMChat

Joe Thomas, MD @DocWithBowtie
@JHospMedicine #JHMCHat A1: Same as others here, billing is the most obvious, but also a story for the patient’s stay. At discharge I want to be able to look back and see what happened to put it all together. The goals of treatment and the if-then statements for getting through the night.

@andrewolsonmd @MattSakumoto @ShreyaTrivediMD @medrants Completely agree with this technique. Instead of dumping days/weeks/months of data, I'll just write "The Cr is X, K is Y, and Na is Z." Shows my thinking, but gets rid of all the superfluous stuff #JHMChat

@ShreyaTrivediMD @andrewolsonmd @MattSakumoto @medrants Definitely No one is going to use your note to figure out the labs/radiology. we should go to the *primary* source what is important, is how we interpret that data! Cr is trending up! / It peaked! / It is better! #JHMChat

#JHMChat When I think of note bloat, I think of notes that are trying to do many things - recall prior work on the patient, facilitate daily clinical data review, snapshot the patient condition in that moment, reduce typing burden. All that encourages me to pull EVERYTHING in. /2
Yichi Zhang (张一弛) @YichiZzzzz
@JHospMedicine A2: Honestly, EHR templates have a lot to do with this... They are so convenient, but also make it easy for us to include a bunch of extraneous things we do not need. And as students we're often just told to copy-paste the template that the attending uses for simplicity #JHMChat

Great point! #JHMChat
Blair Golden @blairgolden
@JHospMedicine A2. I think there's a belief that it takes less time to add on to a note rather than do daily updates. Hand-offs can also contribute because there’s a fear that info will be "lost"- but info is still in the chart & an excessively long, outdated note doesn’t help anyone! #JHMChat

@JHospMedicine #JHMChat A2: As much as Copy+Paste can be utilized when you have so many notes to write, it MUST be heavily edited. I don’t need the daily play-by-play “to make the DC summary is easier to write (that said, I like that Epic gives a space for that because it’s a challenge).”

RT @trentrosenbloom: #JHMChat When I think of note bloat, I think of notes that are trying to do many things - recall prior work on the patient, facilitate daily clinical data review, snapshot the patient condition in that moment, reduce typing burden.

@JHospMedicine #JHMChat Q2 what drives #notebloat: - billing - lack of time/interest in writing concisely - copy/paste - frequent provider handovers — feeling the need to keep a running acct of patient story - #EHR not supporting data review elsewhere as “documentation” - auto generated text

RT @DrSherineSalib: @JHospMedicine A3. The 21st Century Cures Act is a good opportunity for us to revisit the language we use in our EMR documentation. IMO, this should have happened a long time ago. It’s the “nothing about me without me” principle. #JHMChat

Reducing the documentation burden that contributes to burnout was a key motivator for the #25x5 movement, which is an effort to establish strategies and approaches to reduce clinician documentation burden on US clinicians to 25% by 2025. https://t.co/Z9Y5MEXSMG #JHMChat /1

Andrew Olson, MD @andrewolsonmd
@JHospMedicine Key and important ? Also, though, I wonder how often we blame the system/software when it is in fact a user problem? None of us (or few) learned HOW TO DO THIS THE RIGHT WAY during our formal education and we see the results. #JHMChat

@andrewolsonmd @ETSshow @WrayCharles @MattSakumoto @ShreyaTrivediMD @DrSherineSalib @JHospMedicine @HOMERuN_Network @Pahwa @DrJessieAllan I do CDI work in both academic and community-based practices and there ARE similarities and differences. It’s honestly easier IMO in the community because the docs are invested in the metrics and the audience doesn’t change monthly like it does in academics. #JHMChat

@JHospMedicine Reduce problems on A/P. A pt with heart failure exacerbation should not have - shortness of breath - weight gain - hypoxia - CHF as separate problems. - Change diagnosis from symptoms to specific disease code as more information comes up. Helps with billing. #jhmchat
Rebecca Jaffe, MD @RJmdphilly
A4 just a balancing thought - agree with the goal to reduce needless documentation, but need to preserve the good things - time to think and a cognitive scaffolding for difficult work. Can’t just take that time and say “go hum I guess you can see 5 more patients today” #JHMChat

@andrewolsonmd @DocWithBowtie @WrayCharles @MattSakumoto @ShreyaTrivediMD @medrants thinking about the arrow direction... i think i put the arrows to the left bc: 1-I want to see the value immediately next to the label w/o having to move my eyes to the end of line (#lazy!) 2-its easier to type w/o having to move mouse to the end of the line (#lazy!) #JHMChat
