The insight started when Carmen, an orthopedic surgeon-researcher, and Katie, a physical therapist- researcher participated in ride-alongs with EMS providers to patient’s homes. And yet, after assisting the older adult to their feet, the EMS providers would leave. I think, as providers, we don’t get to see that.

I must admit, though, sometimes it just feels off… inauthentic, as if it’s not a genuine desire to improve our lives as health care providers, but rather a metric to check off or a desire to improve productivity and billing by making the plight of workers a little less miserable.

Myself personally, I was in PCEP at Harvard, I think like 2007 or something with Rachelle Bernacki and a bunch of other great people. It is an indicator that to provide the best care, we need to go deeper into trying to understand what the dynamics are there. Susan: Beautiful. And I learned so much from you and your husband, Andy.

Most emergency providers wanted to do the right thing for seriously ill patients, but they didnt have the knowledge, skills, or experience to do it. We weren’t randomizing providers or patients.
