Inside HNNH Clinical Updates
We are instituting a new newsletter -
Inside HNNH
.
For several years our cancer patients have had our
Inside IOS
communication as an informal emailing that happens whenever something comes out in the research that I think is clinically important for cancer patients to know, an that shouldn't wait until their next exam. It has allowed us to communicate and respond much more effectively as new information becomes available.
I have been contemplating a general medicine communication for the rest of the HNNH community for a while. New information and guidelines come out frequently, and often old ones aren't being followed that are important to know. For example-
- Aspirin For Primary Prevention - many patients are taking an aspirin a day, not knowing that the guidelines have changed.
- Antibiotics for Dental Prophylaxis - many dentists are still insisting patients take antibiotics prior to procedures. The guidelines were changed recommending against that over a decade ago and again updated last year.
The corona virus this year has tipped me over into deciding that it is a necessary component for good comprehensive care in today's rapidly evolving world of information.
