Misinformation

The article mentions the panel will discuss 'increasing challenges of addressing information (including misinformation) from social media.' Understanding the scope and mechanisms of health misinformation provides context for why medical professionals now consider this a critical communication challenge.
Today, at 11 a.m. ET, I’ll be a panelist at the 9th National Forum on Sepsis, organized by End Sepsis. I’m thrilled to be joined by my colleague Dr. Kristen Panthagani (who many of you will recognize from her Inside Medicine contributions), and two other advocates, one of whom is a sepsis survivor herself.
We’ll be talking about communication, both in-person (patient encounters, family interactions), and the increasing challenges of addressing information (including misinformation) from social medial. We’ll likely ever cover how patients and their families can help doctors do their jobs better (and even some tips on how to manage those moments carefully so that everyone feels respected).
If you’d like to join us, register here for free. I hope you will!
About End Sepsis:
Here’s some more information from the End Sepsis website:
The 2025 END SEPSIS 9th National Forum on Sepsis convenes leading voices from government, medicine, innovation and patient advocacy for a dynamic dialogue on how policy, practice and technology are converging to change the future of sepsis care.
Through a series of roundtable discussions, this year’s event offers clinicians, hospital administrators, sepsis leads and innovation officers both high-level insights and practical guidance on how to navigate rapid changes in sepsis policy, practice, and technology – and, ultimately, how to leverage these shifts to save more lives.
Senator Schumer will make an appearance:
In addition, there are several other panels, including an opening session with Senator Chuck Schumer and Congressman Donald Norcross.
You’ll also notice that End Sepsis is the name of the organization presenting this forum.
“END SEPSIS, the Legacy of Rory Staunton, was founded in 2012 following the preventable death of 12-year-old Rory Staunton from undiagnosed, untreated sepsis.”
Rory’s story, his tragic and preventable death, made national headlines. His family has honored his legacy through incredibly effective advocacy. I’ve met his parents, Ciaran and Orlaith, on several occasions. They are truly amazing people who have managed to turn unimaginable grief into action. So, I’m honored to be a part of this forum.
Again, here’s that registration link. I hope you will join us.
