Surgical outcomes for people experiencing homelessness are worse—but poor housing data hampers solutions. Surgeons must push for standardized, structured housing status fields.

Access to pediatric trauma center care in the US remains limited, but improving pediatric readiness at adult trauma centers could enhance early resuscitative care for children. @arjensenmd ja.ma/3CFl633 @arjensenmd

I’m excited to announce Kunal Modi as the City’s first Chief of Health, Homelessness, and Family Services. Kunal's leadership will be vital as we tackle homelessness, strengthen behavioral health systems, and ensure all San Franciscans have access to the support they need.
Daniel Lurie named Kunal Modi, a partner at McKinsey, to be his chief of health, homelessness, & family services.
Modi will focus on behavioral health, unsheltered homelessness, and the city’s support and services provided to residents.

This year we’ve been reporting on the toll of having belongings taken during sweeps. We gave out notecards so people could tell us about their experiences in their own words. Here are some of their stories:

Proud that this paper is finally published! We looked at whether insurance drives inter hospital transfer of trauma patients. Thanks to @AnneMStey for her mentorship and moving this paper forward during my clinical years of residency. @NQUIRES1 @nu_ipham

Troubling read from @propublica - after encampment sweeps, people’s belongings are rarely stored. And when they are stored, they are rarely successfully retrieved.

An example of the problem inherent to binning continuous measures. Cutoffs can have value if your goal is to make discrete choices based on a number. If, however, your goal is to accurately quantify a risk profile, binning continuous data is antithetical to that goal.

New study out in @JAMASurgery from our team: Less than half of surgical clinical practice recommendations are backed with high quality evidence. Looking at strong recommendations only, over 1/3 backed by low- or very low–quality evidence. jamanetwork-com.ucsf.idm.ocl…

Findings highlight that surgeons & patients must frequently make decisions despite substantial uncertainty regarding actual risks and benefits of surgical treatment options. A call for more high-quality evidence generation in surgery! @UCSFSurgery @UCSFGSResidency
