750501 - Follow up ref SDS B6 0000. ref SDS B4 0000.
750502 -
750503 - Treatment today went smoothly. Brigid did another exam and asked more
750504 - questions about patient history, ref SDS 0 FO6H, with Jackie assisting
750505 - to take pictures for evaluating measurable disease on the cetuximab
750506 - drug trial. ref SDS 0 6T6M Millie was randomized to get only
750507 - cetuximab, which works out well, because it provides another "bite at
750508 - the apple," if disease progresses. Fortunately, at this time IBC
750509 - seems less severe than over the past few months, so starting with
750510 - minimum treatment is good strategy. ref SDS 0 XR3M Another advantage
750511 - is that cetuximab requires blood tests only every 4 weeks, which helps
750512 - reduce medical costs. UCSF can further save time for blood draws, by
750513 - performing the procedure on site an hour before starting treatment,
750514 - rather than Millie taking time off work to get blood drawn at Kaiser
750515 - the day before treatment. ref SDS 0 XR40 An action item is to clarify
750516 - how the Kaiser Coagulation Treatment Clinic will get notice of INR
750517 - results, and, also, clarify payment authority for blood tests
750518 - performed at UCSF. ref SDS 0 G55H Catherine in the Infusion Clinic on
750519 - the 5th floor was terrific. There was a small problem getting all 10
750520 - vials of blood drawn for the cetuximab study. This may relate to
750521 - Millie's blood draw the day before on 070131. ref SDS 0 H79H
750522 - Cetuximab treatment today was given over 2 hours to observe any
750523 - adverse reactions. Thankfully, there were none. Work was efficient
750524 - and professional in all respects. ref SDS 0 4N5M After treatment
750525 - Millie was more energetic than normal, possibly due to decadron.

750906 - Jackie said she received Millie's letter sent yesterday on 070131,
750907 - ref SDS C8 2P5M, transmitting the SDS record meeting with Doctor Rugo
750908 - and the medical team at UCSF the day before on 070130. ref SDS C7 0001
750909 - She forwarded a copy to Brigid, but did not forward to Doctor Rugo,
750910 - because the doctor depends on staff for accurate communications.
750912 - ..
750913 - Brigid said she has never seen reports on details of discussion in
750914 - meetings, shown in the SDS record for the meeting at UCSF on 070130.
750915 - ref SDS C7 1000 She did not realize Millie's patient history is so
750916 - complex. ref SDS C7 LU3J Brigid only had time to glance through the
750917 - record. Nothing jumped out inconsistent with her memory of the
750918 - meeting and medical examination on Tuesday, 070130. ref SDS C7 1000
750919 - She checked a few things that were a little hazy, and found alignment
750920 - with her notes in the medical chart. She added a few comments from
750921 - the SDS record that were not in the medical chart, but seemed possibly
750922 - important. Jackie said she read through the record last night just to
750923 - make sure everything is coordinated, and that Millie is getting
750924 - started on the "right foot" understanding treatment, and UCSF
750925 - procedures. She made a joke asking if Millie tape recorded the
750926 - meeting, because the narrative and background seems thorough and
750927 - accurate from her memory of the meeting.
750929 - ..
750930 - Brigid said that it is not necessary for patients to send this much
750931 - detail on meetings with the doctor for verification, because she is
750932 - very diligent making thorough notes in Millie's medical chart at UCSF.
750934 - ..
750935 - Millie asked for a copy of the medical chart to compare with patient
750936 - records.
750938 - ..
750939 - Brigid advised that UCSF never gives out the medical chart to
750940 - patients. She said it would take a lot of time, and there are a lot
750941 - of partial notes in short-hand that mean something to her, but not to
750942 - anyone else.
750944 - ..
750945 - Millie asked how the medical chart is checked for accuracy and
750946 - thorough reporting to provide comprehensive care which UCSF promises
750947 - in advertising for patients. This is shown outside on the wall of the
750948 - building.
750950 - ..
750951 - Brigid said UCSF does periodic audit reviews to verify everything is
750952 - in the medical chart.
750954 - ..
750955 - How does the auditor figure out notes that mean something to only one
750956 - person? What if something is missing? The doctor forgot to write it
750957 - down? What if something is entered incorrectly? How would the
750958 - auditor know?
750960 - ..
750961 - Brigid explained that sometimes things fall through the cracks, but
750962 - she is very careful writing everything down so the patient doesn't
750963 - have to worry.
750965 - ..
750966 - Discussed case management standards in Kaiser's Healthwise handbook
750967 - calling for "ping pong" practice of feedback for the doctor to verify
750968 - accuracy of communication with patients, reviewed on 990625.
750969 - ref SDS 4 3960 Kaiser's case management requires a well ordered
750970 - record to understand cause and effect in complex medical history.
750971 - Requirements for a well ordered record were reviewed on 890523.
750972 - ref SDS 1 TP8O Millie asked how the referral coordination plan for
750973 - Millie's treatment at UCSF applies Kaiser's case management practices?
750975 - ..
750976 - Brigid feels strongly there isn't enough time to perform Kaiser's
750977 - "ping pong" case management practice to verify verbal communications,
750978 - and to correlate alignment with the written reports, policy,
750979 - procedures, research, protocols, and correspondence, as shown in the
750980 - record meeting with Doctor Rugo on 070130. ref SDS C7 0001
750982 - ..
750983 - Jackie said it seemed strange reading understandings in the SDS record
750984 - of what she said, and did in the prior meeting on 070130, and further
750985 - how everything aligns with prior events. ref SDS C7 M882 Jackie noted
750986 - that busy people are not always aware of collateral effects, when
750987 - doing things in the moment, so placing everything in context is a
750988 - totally new experience.
750989 -
750990 - [On 090206 Doctor Stritter reported that Millie has survived
750991 - very aggressive cancer for a long time by performing complex
750992 - clinical, logistical, and financal case management. ref SDS G3
750993 - 7Q7J
750995 - ..
750996 - [On 090213 1140 primary care physician at Kaiser credits SDS
750997 - well ordered record for case management extends Millie's
750998 - survival much longer than expected for disease trajectory.
750999 - ref SDS G4 NY7L
751001 - ..
751002 - Jackie agreed with Brigid that there is not enough time for staff to
751003 - check accuracy of communications in the detail supported by SDS
751004 - records. She indicated that details on patient medical history are
751005 - critical to have available, because when there is a lot going on
751006 - people suffer memory lapse or get confused. That happens all the
751007 - time, because it is impossible to remember everything. But, she cited
751008 - a big dilemma. If people spend time writing everything down, and then
751009 - checking for accuracy, there is no time left to do any work. This
751010 - aligns with Ross' analysis on 890809. ref SDS 2 3S6H Jackie feels
751011 - that Doctor Rugo cannot invest time to provide feedback that refines
751012 - accuracy on just one patient. Doctor Rugo likes short letters which
751013 - go quickly to the point of what is needed, without context and links
751014 - presented in SDS records.
751016 - ..
751017 - On 061011 1746 Kaiser notified UCSF reduced their bill $200 because
751018 - Kaiser documents on doctor's progress notes, labs and radiology tests
751019 - submitted for 2nd opinion were organized by the patient into a well
751020 - ordered record that reduced time and expense for understanding patient
751021 - history. ref SDS A9 Z39O This shows benefits of doctor/patient
751022 - partnership leveraging medical training and experience with patient's
751023 - time to provide a well ordered record that saves lives, time and
751024 - money.
751026 - ..
751027 - There was brief discussion that Brigid's assurance patients don't have
751028 - to worry because she write's everything down, ref SDS 0 S571,
751029 - conflicts with Brigid's report there isn't enough time to correlate
751030 - daily work with the record. Seems like patient's with lots of time
751031 - should be helping doctor's and staff with limited time.
751033 - ..
751034 - [On 080403 0900 Doctor Rugo requested assistance using SDS
751035 - records of patient history to coordinate UCSF and Kaiser
751036 - medical services for Millie's care. ref SDS F8 4U9O
751038 - ..
751039 - [On 081017 0021 Doctor Rugo thanked Millie for coordinating a
751040 - very complex work plan involving shared responsibilities at
751041 - UCSF and Kaiser to start Millie's next treatment. ref SDS G0

751044 - ..
751045 - [On 090121 1017 Glenna called and said Doctor Rugo requested

751047 - Millie's next systemic treatment, using the SDS well ordered
751048 - record of patient history, ref SDS G1 Y67L, and cited the "work

751050 - Millie's previous treatment. ref SDS F3 J36R
751052 - ..
751053 - [On 090203 1206 Doctor Al-Bussam advised that Millie's well

A20408 - from Millie being randomized in the study to get treatment only with
A20409 - cetuximab and not with Carboplatin. Since Cetuximab is designed to
A20410 - treat only cancer cells, there is less impact on the immune system

A20421 - On 030606 the primary care physician explained chemotherapy is a
