These US Medicare data show us what we've all suspected:
PMR patients stuck on steroid get the fractures, heart attacks, & infections that land them in hospital.
And it costs $$$
Hopefully PMR steroid-sparing Rx can change this!

We gotta do better! Reproductive health counseling is poorly done- only a third rheumatologists surveyed ask pts about reproductive health: sexual activity, pregnancy desire, contraception. Abstr#0162 @_michgarcia @rheumnow #ACR23 https://t.co/r9tewu2I9N

"Machines don't decide, they make predictions..-Dr. Avi Goldfarb
As a parting note, he leaves the audience some Qs: "In your orgs/institutions, how much of what you do is really about delivering value? Or serving patients & other stakeholders?"

This is what exactly what AI should mean for clinical rheumatologists:
discard the mundane & repetitive
enhance/make time the value add
Rheumatologists are really good at the value add, and we dislike the mundane & repetitive. We should embrace what is to come.

Little disturbing to see the data that most patients using cannabis dont know what exact product they are using. Also not most is not prescribed/ illegal!
Lots to learn and may have potential but need to be careful!
