FINAL HCLDR Tweetchat – October 31st 2023
On October 31st we will be hosting our final HCLDR tweetchat at 8:30pm ET. Although I am sad that the chat is ending, this is not goodbye. The HCLDR community will continue beyond the tweetchat – and at some point in the future may reconstitute on a different platform. The #hcldr tweetchat has lasted far […]
HCLDR Connections
As we march towards the final HCLDR Tweetchat on October 31st 2023, we are taking the opportunity to use these final chats to look back and reflect on what this community has achieved together.

HCLDR Memory Lane
As we announced last week, we are winding down the HCLDR tweetchats. Our final Tuesday night chat will be October 31st. It has been a fantastic journey with this community.

Time For Change

Refusing to Treat a Patient
I was listening to talk radio the other day and somehow the discussion turned to a personal story that the host had heard from their friend [Note: I was unable to verify this story as it did not make any headlines]. The short version was that a Canadian primary care physician refused to care for […]
Confidence in Science
Blog post by Joe Babaian It’s the kind of mistrust of science because science is viewed as authority. And there’s a lot of anti-authority feeling. I think that’s the kind of thing that drives the anti-vaxxers, the people who don’t believe the science of vaccination and don’t want to get their children vaccinated. It’s all […]
Clinical Fatigue + Healthcare Attention Fatigue
In honor of Nightingale’s passing 113 years ago, I thought it would be appropriate to discuss the topic of fatigue in healthcare – both from a clinical perspective and metaphorical standpoint. #hcldr
Speed In Healthcare
Blog post by Joe Babaian “How did it get so late so soon?” ― Dr. Seuss Who doesn’t want it now? We live in the now; technology gives us the feeling, and often the reality, that everything is a click away – even health and wellness. The current state of “now” medicine is changing almost daily […]
Where is Innovation Happening in Healthcare?
There is a question that has been on my mind recently and it has to do with innovation in healthcare. A friend of mine who works in a different industry asked me “So where is innovation happening in healthcare?”. In response, I rhymed off several interesting products and organizations. After politely listening to me drone […]
