Please join us in congratulating attending physician Dr. Ana Sofia Warner on her recent New Faculty Excellence Award from the Boston University Medical Group! In her nomination, her colleagues described her as, "a true bridge-builder and innovator". Dr. Warner created and launched BMC's Hospital Admission Reduction Program (HARP), which provides community-based transitional care to patients 65 and up who have been hospitalized at BMC. 💭 What does “excellence in care” mean to you? For me, it means trying to give the best care to the patients I see in clinic. It also means trying to improve care for patients I may never meet, through programs like HARP and partnerships with different groups and departments. 💭 How is BMC pushing the boundaries of care? I think there are a lot of folks at BMC who are very creative thinkers in terms of how we can engage with patients in our community. I see this every day with the amazing members of the HARP team, they go the extra mile for patients and that makes a big difference. 💭 What does rewriting healthcare mean to you? It means thinking outside the box of how we can engage patients to meet them where they are at. It means not being so tied to traditional ways of treating patients. That’s why our HARP program goes to people's houses. We realized we needed to be proactive after patients were discharged from the hospital, or they would end up coming back into the Emergency Department. 💭 How are you providing equitable and excellent clinical care? I speak Spanish, and I think for some patients it's a big relief to see a physician who speaks their own language. In my work at the Belkin Breast Center, there's a lot of nuance in some of the breast cancer counseling, so I feel like being bilingual is especially important. 💭 What’s special about working at BMC? I get to work with really smart, talented, and dedicated people every day. And we get to try to tackle some really hard problems in health care for patients who are often underserved. That's very meaningful. Learn more about Dr. Warner here: https://bit.ly/3IVCjES
