See the Forest Plot for the Trees
On Monday JT Tolentino discussed the evaluation of summary articles
including unsystematic reviews, meta-analysis, and clinical practice guidelines. One helpful discussion noted the interpretation of forest plots within meta-analysis. How would you interpret this forest plot?
Polycythemia Vera
On Tuesday Richa Patel and Quinn Nguyen presented a patient with unilateral lower extremity
pain and weakness. His story was complicated by progressive multiple sclerosis, but the team
was able to identify DVT with pulmonary embolism. Interestingly the patient had significant
polycythemia with a hemoglobin of 22! This was the 3rd pulmonary embolism presented at
noon report in a row, all from very different underlying predispositions!

THE DIABEEEETUS!
PAGE
BABY TIME!
Congratulations!
The clinic is evaluating improvement measures for uncontrolled diabetes with HgbA1c>9. Using process mapping, we
are currently evaluating a standard workflow for patients that
are struggling and with the initial basis from recent
graduates’ quality improvement research publications.
Congratulations to Glenn
and Loni Quarles as they
welcomed Lillian Eva this
past week!
Tips from the Clinic:
When was the last time you ran a report on your clinic patients?
You can run your patient list in Epic, by going
to Reporting Home, and searching for "PCP" in
the library of reports. This list provides a list of
all patients in Epic where you are listed as the
PCP. You can connect directly to the patient's
chart from this list. You can also access a list of
your patients, through the monthly data that Dr.
Warm distributes via email.
