Yesterday, AAD member dermatologists gathered at the Mayfair Hotel in Los Angeles to pilot a new program to help address skin conditions among the unhoused. The hotel is owned by the city and is part of the Inside Safe initiative, offering temporary housing and numerous support services. The dermatologists who participated in the event provided training and resources for caseworkers and health care professionals to help them recognize common skin conditions, provide basic treatments, and connect with dermatologists for free telemedicine consults when necessary. They also answered questions from some of the Mayfair's current temporary residents and distributed skin care supplies that were generously supplied by several corporate partners. Thank you to all AAD members and staff who attended this important initiative!

Relationships—whether personal or professional—thrive on trust, transparency, and a shared commitment to each other’s goals. This truth was on full display at the recent Sanofi’s Patient Advocacy Summit, where medical professional associations, patient advocacy groups, and industry leaders came together for a common cause: advancing better patient care. When my organization, the American Academy of Dermatology, our host Sanofi, and so many non-profit organizations align their efforts, incredible things happen. It’s in the side conversations, the personal stories, and the moments of shared understanding that we’re reminded of our collective humanity. Whether it’s seeing Kate Tighe’s and Eric Racine, PharmD, MBA’s leadership on full display through their incredibly talented staff like Nicholas Taylor and Demetra Anastasiadis, PharmD, BPS or connecting with Brian Foard, Paul Rowe, MD, ATSF & Mike Sibley whose accessibility and collaborative spirit was a driving force throughout —The emotional impact of knowing that we’re in this together fuels our drive to make meaningful change. A thought that kept invading my mind was: “Want to go fast? Go alone. Want to go far? Go together.” I want to go far and my my heart and mind are full of excitement, and grounded in the reality that summits like this reinforce the importance of building on our successes, learning from our missteps, and growing from one another. If this event is any indication, we are set to go much further than we can imagine—together. #AAD #PatientAdvocacy #Collaboration #BetterPatientCare #HealthcareLeadership #PowerOfTheCollective

Can artificial intelligence humanize patient discharge summaries? By law, patients have the right to immediate access to discharge notes in their medical records. However, technical language and abbreviations can make notes difficult to understand for the average patient. A recent study in @JAMANetworkOpen found that the use of large language models showed promise in improving the readability of patient discharge summaries, converting them into patient-friendly language and format.
