![]() | Lillian Lake - Host of #SoulNestingChat @llake @JamieRoger8 @SalemOaks So busy I barely breathed but today I'm finally getting a break to catch up. It's all good. #patientchat |
![]() | Carly Flumer (she/her) @carlyflumer @patientchat T1: LOVE this question! As a chronic disease patient, I have a LOT of medications and doctors to keep track of. Having it all coordinated makes my life easier! I love the use of patient portals & apps to keep organized. #patientchat |
![]() | Shereese Maynard, MS; MBA @ShereeseMayMba @llake Hey Lillian. How are you? #patientchat |
![]() | Patient Empowerment Network @power4patients @K_SalemOaks Hi Kevin! I hope this chat helps with your discussion. Looking forward to seeing you in Colorado later this summer, if your schedule allows #patientchat |

![]() | Lillian Lake - Host of #SoulNestingChat @llake @power4patients Thank you! I'm glad I'm here, too! Like, where else would I be at 1PM ET? 😂 #patientchat |
![]() | Jamie Roger @JamieRoger8 @llake @SalemOaks That's good, that break came at the right now. Take a breather before the weekend! #patientchat |
![]() | Patient Empowerment Network @power4patients [REDACTED USER] @patientchat Hi Mark! Welcome #patientchat |
![]() | Patient Empowerment Network @power4patients RT @patientchat: T1: Why is care coordination important? #patientchat https://t.co/nzEgxV11jI |
![]() | Alan Brewington @abrewi3010 T1 Care coordination is a great tool to ensure I have the highest possible quality of life. I spend time on improving me, not losing my checkbook #patientchat |

![]() | Patient Empowerment Network @power4patients @abrewi3010 That sounds great. Unless you're one of those ham & pineapple people. I've never understood those toppings on pizza #patientchat |
@K_SalemOaks T1: Drug-drug interactions. If there is not coordination, it is easy to create complications. #patientchat #pinksocks @S4PM | |
![]() | Lillian Lake - Host of #SoulNestingChat @llake @ShereesePubHlth Great! You did an awesome job guesting on #bizgalz this week! #patientchat |
![]() | Shereese Maynard, MS; MBA @ShereeseMayMba @llake Thanks. #patientchat |
![]() | Alan Brewington @abrewi3010 @power4patients I love ham and pineapple! A good Hawaiian pizza makes any day better. #patientchat |
![]() | Lillian Lake - Host of #SoulNestingChat @llake @abrewi3010 Hi Alan! I'm ready for lunch, too! What shall we have? #patientchat |
![]() | Jamie Roger @JamieRoger8 #patientchat Care coordination is important for the medical team, everyone needs to stay informed. But it's also important that the #patient feels they are getting the best treatment available and that they feel everyone is working together for their sake. |
![]() | Alan Brewington @abrewi3010 @llake Eat all the foods! #patientchat |
![]() | Lillian Lake - Host of #SoulNestingChat @llake @patientchat T1: I'm doing this right now w/my husband's care! Sanity, communication, confidence, better overall care, organized chaos, big picture viewing. #patientchat |
![]() | Patient Chat @patientchat Topic 2 (T2:) coming up... https://t.co/qn9uttgaZP #patientchat |
![]() | Alan Brewington @abrewi3010 T1 usually staying informed is the only way to save my time and money. #patientchat |
![]() | Patient Chat @patientchat T2: How can care coordination be put into action? #patientchat https://t.co/DDtK1aAZKd |
![]() | Lillian Lake - Host of #SoulNestingChat @llake @abrewi3010 Alrighty! I better get my bike, too, then! I'll need the workout! 😊#patientchat |
![]() | Patient Empowerment Network @power4patients @patientchat Goal is to meet patients' needs & preferences in delivery of high-quality, high-value care. Patient's needs & preferences are known & communicated at right time to the right people & used to guide delivery of safe, appropriate, effective care #patientchat @AHRQNews |
![]() | Lillian Lake - Host of #SoulNestingChat @llake @ShereesePubHlth You're very welcome. #patientchat |
![]() | Melissa VanHouten @melissarvh Coordinated care produces best patient outcomes. Specialists have different areas of focus & it's important 4 all to be updated/on same page so recommendations, medications, etc. don't conflict/negatively interact. All involved in your care need to know the goals. #PatientChat |
![]() | Debbie Popp @DPoppGP A1: Patients with multiple illnesses require different specialists, each offering individual treatments that could together be detrimental and even life threatening without good care coordination. #patientchat |
@K_SalemOaks @patientchat T2: Patient/family can request it. I really think the patient should have the right to call a meeting. We need an app for that! #patientchat #pinksocks @S4PM | |
![]() | Alan Brewington @abrewi3010 @llake Haha I need the workout too so I will grab my bike too. #patientchat |

![]() | Lillian Lake - Host of #SoulNestingChat @llake @teaminspire Hi John! Howz the week been? Good to see you checking in. #patientchat https://t.co/ez1Y0LqhAl |
![]() | Carly Flumer (she/her) @carlyflumer @patientchat T2: Be an #advocate for yourself! Like someone mentioned, doctors are busy, and it’s ultimately up to you to make sure everything is running smoothly. It seems like a lot, but having a friend or family member helps! #patientchat |

![]() | Shereese Maynard, MS; MBA @ShereeseMayMba T2 You have to have actionable strategies. Don't talk about it; be about it. Speak to your care team, doctors, advocates, etc. Coordinating care doesn't have to be complicated; it just has to work for the patient. #patientchat |
@K_SalemOaks T2: Some facilities try to make this happen. I know that @RoswellPark does a great job of this. #patientchat #pinksocks @S4PM | |
![]() | Alan Brewington @abrewi3010 T2 I don’t think this question can be answered yet bc we are designing new ways daily. Especially true considering how much communication techniques change #patientchat |

![]() | Inspire @InspireIsHealth RT @patientchat: T2: How can care coordination be put into action? #patientchat https://t.co/DDtK1aAZKd |
![]() | Lillian Lake - Host of #SoulNestingChat @llake @JamieRoger8 T1 Right! Which doesn't mean everyone is necessarily in agreement (although, it's nice when that happens) but as you say, everyone is working together for the best outcome. #patientchat |
![]() | Carly Flumer (she/her) @carlyflumer [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] Yes! I have an app that keeps track of all my medications and allergies. It’s a lifesaver! #patientchat |
@K_SalemOaks @abrewi3010 What we need is a way to collect the best practices and ways to implement them. #patientchat #pinksocks @S4PM | |
![]() | Patient Empowerment Network @power4patients @ShereesePubHlth Agree 100% "Don't talk about it; be about it" #patientchat https://t.co/096PEynLTv |

![]() | Lillian Lake - Host of #SoulNestingChat @llake @K_SalemOaks Ohhh, good luck with all that. That's a complicated situation but totally doable. (as in "been there, done that") #patientchat |
![]() | Patient Empowerment Network @power4patients RT @carlyflumer: [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] Yes! I have an app that keeps track of all my medications and allergies. It’s a lifesaver! #patientchat |
![]() | Lillian Lake - Host of #SoulNestingChat @llake [REDACTED USER] @patientchat @power4patients Hey, Mark. Good to tweet with you today. #patientchat |
![]() | Debbie Popp @DPoppGP A2: I would love to see a global patient portal. It is not only difficult for a patient to remember which portal they have to go to to communicate with which doctor, but then we have to share tests, reports etc.. This would be a great start! #patientchat |
![]() | Melissa VanHouten @melissarvh Ultimately, responsibility rests w/the patient. Some offices have designated care coordinators & sometimes family can help, but you are your own best advocate, and, burdensome as it may be, you must communicate w/all involved to make certain your goals are met. #PatientChat |
![]() | Carly Flumer (she/her) @carlyflumer [REDACTED USER] @K_SalemOaks @patientchat @S4PM I was just talking to someone about this! It’s about patient centricity and actually having a patient! #patientchat |
![]() | Alan Brewington @abrewi3010 @K_SalemOaks @S4PM I still have hope we are not designing new ideas yet. Hoping best practices is still being developed. #patientchat |
![]() | Lillian Lake - Host of #SoulNestingChat @llake RT @carlyflumer: [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] Yes! I have an app that keeps track of all my medications and allergies. It’s a lifesaver! #patientchat |
![]() | Patient Chat @patientchat Topic 3 (T3:) coming up... https://t.co/qn9uttgaZP #patientchat |
![]() | Patient Chat @patientchat T3: In your opinion, who is involved and responsible for coordinating care? #patientchat https://t.co/jv4HU6xgAK |
![]() | Alan Brewington @abrewi3010 @K_SalemOaks @S4PM I wouldn’t be a good advocate if I don’t say that these collected best practices must remain free for all. No paywalls! #patientchat |
![]() | Lillian Lake - Host of #SoulNestingChat @llake @carlyflumer @power4patients [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] Thank goodness for "care" apps, right?! They make my life so much easier in caring for my husband. Right down to color-coding my calendar with his appointments. His new CGM allows me to keep track of his sugars on the go. Stress-reliever. #patientchat |

@K_SalemOaks @llake @carlyflumer @power4patients [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] Can you suggest a couple? Which apps? #patientchat | |
![]() | Lillian Lake - Host of #SoulNestingChat @llake @patientchat T2 Portals, emails, texting, apps, all help us in coordinating care. #patientchat |
JL Richardson @drjfpmd RT @patientchat: Today's #patientchat topic is How Does An Empowered Patient Approach Care Coordination? https://t.co/XnMFotPhMY | |
![]() | Carly Flumer (she/her) @carlyflumer @patientchat T3: Ultimately, the patient needs to make sure they’re getting what they need. ASK QUESTIONS! Don’t leave yourself in the dark not knowing because you’re too afraid. It’s your health! #patientchat |
![]() | Alan Brewington @abrewi3010 T3 my quality of life means I’m in charge. That said, I’m not a top down patient org. Im definitely a everyone included boss. #patientchat |
![]() | Lillian Lake - Host of #SoulNestingChat @llake @K_SalemOaks @patientchat @S4PM Yes, agreed. Everyone needs to get used to using Zoom (or similar) I wish I had had that year's ago when taking care of mom. #patientchat |
![]() | Carly Flumer (she/her) @carlyflumer [REDACTED USER] @patientchat My mom always went with me to my cancer treatment appointments. It was such a huge help! #patientchat |
![]() | Shereese Maynard, MS; MBA @ShereeseMayMba RT @llake: @patientchat T2 Portals, emails, texting, apps, all help us in coordinating care. #patientchat |
![]() | Patient Empowerment Network @power4patients @patientchat It would be great if there was a better, universal system in place for this but as others have said, the onus most often falls on the patient and/or their caregiver to coordinate care #patientchat |

![]() | Inspire @InspireIsHealth RT @patientchat: T3: In your opinion, who is involved and responsible for coordinating care? #patientchat https://t.co/jv4HU6xgAK |
![]() | Carly Flumer (she/her) @carlyflumer @llake @power4patients [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] I have so many health apps! They’re great for coordinating appointments, looking up medical history, etc! #patientchat |
@K_SalemOaks T3: Everyone involved!. That's a cop out though. There should be someone who suggests that and THEN EQUIPS the patient/family to take the lead. #patientchat #pinksocks @S4PM | |
![]() | Carly Flumer (she/her) @carlyflumer @K_SalemOaks @llake @power4patients [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] Some of my doctor’s offices have apps, such as MyChart (a patient portal). I would ask! #patientchat |
![]() | Patient Empowerment Network @power4patients @K_SalemOaks @llake @carlyflumer [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] There are some great ones here, in our guide to Patient Empowerment: https://t.co/Dj6LOCcUkS #patientchat |
![]() | Debbie Popp @DPoppGP T3: Ultimately in my opinion it is the responsibility of the patient to coordinate a care team for themselves. The care team should include all specialists and their PCP. I would like to see the PCP take an active role in leading that team. #patientchat |
![]() | Patient Chat @patientchat Topic 4 (T4:) coming up… https://t.co/qn9uttgaZP #patientchat |
![]() | Alan Brewington @abrewi3010 @K_SalemOaks @S4PM Can you explain your “cop out” statement more? Why do I need someone to equip me, doesn’t my #chronicpain already do that? #patientchat |
![]() | Carly Flumer (she/her) @carlyflumer @power4patients @K_SalemOaks @llake [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] Love this diagram! #patientchat |

![]() | Carly Flumer (she/her) @carlyflumer [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] @K_SalemOaks @patientchat @S4PM I would sure hope not! Having a partner should make them feel more empowered! #patientchat |
![]() | Patient Empowerment Network @power4patients RT @patientchat: T4: What are the elements of successful care coordination? #patientchat https://t.co/eciwiW65yl |
![]() | Alan Brewington @abrewi3010 T4 communication must be active and vulnerable. Needed to help overcome any health literacy issues that might exist on the care team. #patientchat |
@K_SalemOaks @abrewi3010 @S4PM But your chronic pain doesn't teach you how to herd the cats on your medical team. HCPs should initiate, but then they need to support the patient. Give them tools. #patientchat | |
![]() | Melissa VanHouten @melissarvh [REDACTED USER] @carlyflumer [REDACTED USER] @K_SalemOaks @patientchat @S4PM Well, they had better learn to be honest and open - because I do not like information about my own life to be w/held from me. If they balk at this, I am with the wrong physicians. I wish (and intend) to be at any care plan mtg which determines my treatment path. #PatientChat |
![]() | Carly Flumer (she/her) @carlyflumer @patientchat T4: Clear communication, answered questions, having a clear treatment plan the patient understands, accepts, and follows. Including family members if the patient feels more comfortable. #patientchat |
@K_SalemOaks @S4PM Also - if everyone is responsible, no one is responsible. #patientchat | |
![]() | Patient Empowerment Network @power4patients @carlyflumer @K_SalemOaks @llake [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] Click through each step on the path for links to all sorts of useful apps and resources #patientchat |
![]() | Lillian Lake - Host of #SoulNestingChat @llake @K_SalemOaks @carlyflumer @power4patients [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] ListMeds keeps track of meds and doses. Easy to show the doc, etc. (it's free, so advertising but it doesn't get in the way). Search google play for caregiving apps. I use Caring Village - but still searching for perfection - right now it keeps everyone in the loop. #patientchat |

![]() | Carly Flumer (she/her) @carlyflumer @abrewi3010 Oh my gosh, YES!! Love #healthliteracy! Such an important yet overlooked topic! #patientchat |
![]() | Lillian Lake - Host of #SoulNestingChat @llake @K_SalemOaks @carlyflumer @power4patients [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] I seriously color-code my calendar as to which doc or other treatment so at a glance I know who we're seeing and they stand out from my business appointments. #patientchat |
![]() | Jamie Roger @JamieRoger8 RT @abrewi3010: T3 my quality of life means I’m in charge. That said, I’m not a top down patient org. Im definitely a everyone included bos… |
![]() | Lillian Lake - Host of #SoulNestingChat @llake @K_SalemOaks @carlyflumer @power4patients [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] I keep a thumb-drive backup at my MIL's in case I'm not w/her & in my purse in case of phone fail. I update occasionally rather than continually. The app I can pull right up at the office & make changes. Bonus: you look prepared & sets the stage for communication #patientchat |
![]() | Alan Brewington @abrewi3010 @K_SalemOaks @S4PM Being the son of a one star general has definitely taught me how to lead cats. #PatientChat |
![]() | Lillian Lake - Host of #SoulNestingChat @llake @carlyflumer @K_SalemOaks @power4patients [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] Yep! The only drawback is not all offices do & definitely, they rarely talk to each other (the portals, I mean). #patientchat |

![]() | Patient Empowerment Network @power4patients RT @patientchat: T5: How coordinated is the care experience for you? #patientchat https://t.co/10WYLrEBNM |
![]() | Melissa VanHouten @melissarvh [REDACTED USER] @carlyflumer [REDACTED USER] @K_SalemOaks @patientchat @S4PM Actually, yes, I would love to know what they are considering & on what they base their conclusions. But not all care coordination mtgs involve this level of detail. I am asking to be in on the thinking BEFORE everything has been decided for me. #PatientChat |
![]() | Alan Brewington @abrewi3010 @carlyflumer Health literacy needs to be apart of every conversation I think. We need to raise it and quickly so it rises with technology #patientchat |
![]() | Debbie Popp @DPoppGP T4: Most important element is open communication. A plan of care that has been coordinated with all providers. Accessibility to all tests and notes for the team, which includes the patient. #patientchat |
![]() | Carly Flumer (she/her) @carlyflumer @llake @K_SalemOaks @power4patients [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] Yes, I don’t like that, but I understand why. The healthcare system is too big! #patientchat |
![]() | Lillian Lake - Host of #SoulNestingChat @llake @power4patients @carlyflumer @K_SalemOaks [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] You really do a great job at considering patients who particularly have access & learning curves. Thank you. #patientchat |
![]() | Carly Flumer (she/her) @carlyflumer @patientchat T5: More than expected b/c I take matters into my own hands (and as a cancer patient, you have to with seeing so many doctors!). I have become my own #patientadvocate and I love it!! #patientchat |
![]() | Inspire @InspireIsHealth RT @patientchat: T5: How coordinated is the care experience for you? #patientchat https://t.co/10WYLrEBNM |
![]() | Alan Brewington @abrewi3010 T5 I’ve had 11 surgeries now and am still working full time, I’m guessing that means my coordination care story has been successful #patientchat |
![]() | Patient Empowerment Network @power4patients @llake @carlyflumer @K_SalemOaks [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] Thanks so much! #patientchat |
![]() | Liz Kennerley #LongCOVID #RareDisease @LifeAccrdingLiz T1: Care coordination is essential for #chronicillness #patients. We often have several specialists, even sub-specialists. This helps avoid repeating tests. Sometimes they are in different hospitals. Even across state lines. #patientchat |
![]() | Lillian Lake - Host of #SoulNestingChat @llake @carlyflumer @power4patients [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] Yes! It prompted me to upgrade my phone so I can put all this together. Keeping my business coordinated and Mark's care was stressing me out. Which reminds me I need to load a "care log" for easy "remembering of questions, answers, & changes. #patientchat |
![]() | Carly Flumer (she/her) @carlyflumer @abrewi3010 That’s incredible! Congrats! 💪 #patientchat |

![]() | Alan Brewington @abrewi3010 @carlyflumer Thanks 🙏 #PatientChat |

In the short run, it can be confusing. I'm good with it, but the big guy isn't as tech savvy & gets frustrated. So much work to self-care & caregiving. It's all in the details. #patientchat |
![]() | Debbie Popp @DPoppGP T5: I find that Care Coordination is not something that many wish to participate in. I have literally heard, "well he's not on staff here, so I will try to talk with him, but can make no promises". I request continually things to be shared and not done. #patientchat |
![]() | Lillian Lake - Host of #SoulNestingChat @llake @carlyflumer @patientchat T5 Awww. Sending you love & encouragement. Sounds like you have a good handle on it all. #patientchat |
![]() | Patient Chat @patientchat Time to start sharing closing thoughts (CT) on what you learned, were reminded of or can implement. Start your tweet w/ CT: #patientchat |
![]() | Lillian Lake - Host of #SoulNestingChat @llake @patientchat T5 For me personally, it goes okay but I'm good w/tech. My spouse - not so much so he gets confused. He's getting better at it - forced immersion & becoming more comfortable. 😄#patientchat |

![]() | Alan Brewington @abrewi3010 CT much like our illnesses, not care agreement will ever be normal or straightforward. We have to work hard for it but we have earned it. #patientchat |
![]() | Liz Kennerley #LongCOVID #RareDisease @LifeAccrdingLiz T2: Alas, #patients are often their own care coordinator. It can be overwhelming, but decreases things getting "lost in translation" going through a middle man. We need PAID care coordinators who can get things done faster and easier. #patientchat |

![]() | Liz Kennerley #LongCOVID #RareDisease @LifeAccrdingLiz T3: It depends on the office, your relationship with them and provider. Some are more helpful than others. I don't think it's being stubborn. Rather, resources (staff), and their overall awareness of what #chronicillness #patients need. #patientchat |
![]() | Debbie Popp @DPoppGP CT: Patients must be self-advocates, coordinate their team and encourage open communication with all. Our lives depend on this being successful! A professional coordinator would be ideal. #patientchat |
![]() | Lillian Lake - Host of #SoulNestingChat @llake @MoortgatL @patientchat T3 As a patient I feel the responsibility is largely mine. Any stakeholder involved shares a piece. My spouse & I share his as it's so involved. It's the way we survive working & caring. #patientchat |
![]() | Ody @OdyO11 Oh, I missed #patientchat! I will try to answer now, anyways. :) I am a patient from Europe with a complex, rarely diagnosed disorder. |
![]() | Double Whammy @double_whammied RT @ShereesePubHlth: @double_whammied Thank you. I think you're pretty awesome as well for sharing your journey. #patientchat #HITsm |
![]() | Lillian Lake - Host of #SoulNestingChat @llake @patientchat CT: I was reminded to create a digital log of medical visits, as well as thoughts, questions, & feelings. #patientchat |
![]() | Double Whammy @double_whammied @ShereesePubHlth Sharing is caring. If I can save one person from having to go through the #cancer shitshow, I'll be happy.❤❤❤🥊🥊 |
![]() | Ody @OdyO11 @patientchat Care coordination is important so that responsibilities and roles are clear and important medical needs don't fall through the cracks because nobody feels responsible. Also, in order to save costs (not the same blood test two days later at another specialist). #patientchat |
![]() | Ody @OdyO11 @patientchat T2: Communication is key. Unfortunately, doctors often don't have the time to get in touch with each other. So it's up to the patients to doctors which role they would hope for them to play in their care. #patientchat |
![]() | Ody @OdyO11 @patientchat T2: A good concept is an expert (which might be further away) for specialized knowledge and local doctors who see the patient regularly, document and implement the therapies recommended by the expert. #patientchat |
![]() | Marni Cartelli @Purrfectly_Rare I'm sorry #patientchat to miss today but having a really bad go of post op issues By the way I thought throwing up stunk- doing it after having your neck/back operated on is a thousand times worse! I cant wait to read through the responses & comment when I'm feeling better! |
![]() | Ody @OdyO11 @patientchat T3: In a perfect world, this would be an interdisciplinary center with expertise. Another option would be the PCP together with experts. In reality, it's often the patients (or carers) themselves. #patientchat |
![]() | Liz Kennerley #LongCOVID #RareDisease @LifeAccrdingLiz T4: Successful care coordination is... Specialists reading each others notes before/during follow-ups. Including, labs, radiology, and recently started medication(s). Less chance of being stuck between strong opposing views and choosing. #patientchat |
![]() | Ody @OdyO11 @patientchat T4: Listening to the patient and believing the patient. Correct documentation to which the patient has access (and option to correct mistakes). Communication with the patient and between experts/different medical specialties. Respecting patient agency&autonomy. #patientchat |
![]() | Ody @OdyO11 @patientchat T5: At one point during my medical odyssey, my PCP and I decided that I would coordinate my case. He recommended me to do so. I had more time to search for experts. I am hoping to get access to a multidisciplinary center for more coordinated care. #patientchat |
