Sepsis it seems is always in the news, never far from anyone who works in CDI or coding circles. And here we are again, back in the headlines due to its inclusion in the Office of Inspector General (OIG) Work Plan. Sepsis has been discussed so much due to the complexity of disease, the cost of treatment, complexity of coding, and increased regulatory spotlight. What else is there to say? But with it back in the spotlight I wanted to turn from the usual insular conversations in the mid-revenue cycle to someone working on the front lines of care. Amanda Hart is an ED nurse and a sepsis clinical nurse specialist at Tower Health, a regional integrated healthcare system based out of Pennsylvania. She spends a substantial amount of time battling this deadly disease, and her work has much to offer anyone who works to get it accurately documented and coded. On this episode we discuss: • Amanda's background in the military and EMS, path into nursing and eventually the ED • Her role as sepsis clinical nurse specialist and how it overlaps with CDI/coding • Pathophysiology—clinical indicators of sepsis and what makes it such a deadly disease • Problems inherent in lack of uniform definitions, what Tower Health uses, and her own take on Sepsis-2 vs. Sepsis-3 debate • The importance of early screening, including processes, technologies and people. Are EHRs and alerts helping or hindering? • Tower Health's home-grown protocol that resulted in a 32% reduction in relative mortality rate in non-POA cases. • Life on the front lines of care and how it changed Amanda as a person

In previous episodes, Talking About Kids has addressed the need for trauma-informed care and the importance of involving youth in the design and oversight of programs for them. This episode combines the two.

Yehudis Stokes is a Registered Nurse at the Children's Hospital of Eastern Ontario and a Clinical Nurse Specialist with the Psychosocial Oncology team at Princess Margaret Cancer Centre, and Marjorie Robb is the Acting Chief of Psychiatry at Children's Hospital of Eastern Ontario and the Division Chief of Community-Based Psychiatry.

The advice comes as 3,000 people are hospitalised with COPD, or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, ever year across Clare, Limerick and North Tipperary. The condition accounts for up to 45% of patients attending respiratory clinics and usually affects people over the age of 40 who smoke or have smoked for an extended period. Clinical Nurse Specialist at University Hospital Limerick Noelle Ryan says in addition to refraining from smoking and using inhalers, a special programme of exercise can be an effective way of fighting the disease.

Today's Hot Topic conversation is great for just about anybody, but *especially* those who have considered therapy but haven't pulled the trigger for whatever reason (accessibility, cost, finding the right match...)! Our guest, Owen O'Kane, is an acclaimed London-based psychotherapist and the best selling author of Ten Times Happier, Ten to Zen, and most recently, How To Be Your Own Therapist. But that's not all! Before pursuing psychotherapy, Owen spent a decade working with the dying as a Clinical Nurse Specialist in Palliative Care, which we think adds a unique dimension to his perspective. Needless to say, he is abundantly qualified to help us tackle the journey of self-therapy today!Today, beyond sharing his own personal story of self acceptance, Owen discusses what drives us, victim mentality, gratitude, tips for handling our anxious episodes, what 10 minutes of self therapy a day looks like, and what "The Goal" of therapy even is (happiness? meaning??). Last but not least, Andy picks Owen's brain after his experience working in Palliative Care—what did caring for the dying on a daily basis teach him? This episode has a little something for everyone and even includes a peek into Andy's own thoughts and fears.

Our guest for this episode is Alice Benjamin, a board-certified Clinical Nurse Specialist and Family Nurse Practitioner, as well as an author, podcast host, health advocate and a regular on-air medical contributor for CNBC, Dr. Oz, The Doctors, CNN and the BBC.  Alice's career as a nurse was inspired by the death of her father from a heart attack when she was a child. Since then she's been on a mission to educate and empower the public about the pursuit of health and wellness. Alice was the first nurse to chair the American Heart Association Health Equity Taskforce, as well as the first black nurse to serve on the California board of directors for the American Nurses Association. Today she and Dan talk about her career, the portrayal of nurses in the media and patient safety. As a nurse who is still at the bedside and in the wake of the Randa Vaughnt case, this is a topic that Alice is particularly passionate about, and they get into the frequency of near misses in healthcare, why the “just get it done” culture of nursing is ripe for errors, and how nurses can engage with hospital leadership to help create a safer environment for everyone.
