Host Dr. Aditi Nerurkar sits down with Dr. Jeremy Faust, emergency medicine physician at Brigham and Women's Hospital, Harvard Medical School, and editor in chief of MedPage Today, to trace what actually moves (and doesn't) when one clinician hands a patient to the next. They start with the shorthand. A phrase like "second trope and go" compresses an entire risk stratification into four words, and the person receiving that patient has to trust it completely or start the workup over. From there the conversation widens. What does a patient experience on the other side of that same handoff, and what can care providers do make sure patients stay in partnership with their health teams, even across specialties or departments.
