AI in healthcare is kind of like an overenthusiastic intern—it's full of potential, but someone probably should be watching it a little closer. In this episode, we dive into why artificial intelligence might be more “oops” than “awesome” when it comes to patient safety. A recent ECRI report flagged AI as a top safety concern and offered up smart recommendations like stronger governance and better training. From glitchy decision-making to eyebrow-raising cybersecurity breaches, we're unpacking why AI still needs some serious adult supervision in the healthcare world.

Ciao Everyone, Happy New Year! As a podcaster and activist, it is my duty and responsibility to report on what's happening in Italy. The last few months of 2024 were marked by the killing by the Italian police of Moussa Diarra and of Ramy Elgaml. The Italian police has proven that the report by ECRI on racial profiling is a fact and not opinion, contrary to what President Mattarella said.

Pubblicato il 22 ottobre scorso il sesto rapporto quinquennale della Commissione Europea contro il razzismo e l'intolleranza (ECRI). Ancora troppe discriminazioni su persone LGBTI, e allarme per i discorsi divisivi del dibattito politico e xenofobi nei discorsi pubblici. ECRI raccomanda l'istituzione di un organismo di parità indipendente e il rafforzamento dell'UNAR (l'ufficio nazionale antidiscriminazioni razziali).>> Leggi anche l'articolo: https://tinyurl.com/2cwwkhfm>> Scopri tutti i podcast di Altalex: https://bit.ly/2NpEc3w

La vicenda del capo di gabinetto del ministero della Cultura Francesco Spano che si è dimesso per le accuse di conflitto di interessi a seguito degli incarichi conferiti al suo compagno ha riacceso i fari, da una parte, sugli intrighi di palazzo e l'esercizio del potere, dall'altra sospetti di omofobia verso chi ha sollevato il caso dati i soggetti coinvolti. Ne discutiamo ampiamente in apertura di programma. Nella seconda parte, invece, ci dedichiamo al report della Commissione europea Ecri che accusa il Governo italiano e la polizia del Belpaese di comportamenti razzisti.

Manovra, cuneo fino a 40 mila euro. Pa, turnover ridotto.

Ansa - di Mattia Bernardo Bagnoli.Ira di Meloni per le accuse all'Italia. Lo stupore di Mattarella.

Consiglio d'Europa: dibattito politico italiano xenofobo e razzista. Dura reprimenda del Consiglio d'Europa contro il dibattito politico e pubblico italiano. Ecri è la commissione contro il razzismo e l'intolleranza del Consiglio d'Europa. L' organizzazione internazionale si dice preoccupata perché negli ultimi anni il discorso pubblico italiano è diventato "sempre più xenofobo" e i discorsi politici hanno assunto toni "fortemente divisivi e antagonistici", in particolare nei confronti di rifugiati, richiedenti asilo e migranti, cittadini italiani con origine migratoria, Rom e persone Lgbti. La Commissione si riferisce soprattutto alla Lega e al suo segretario, il ministro Matteo Salvini, ma non risparmia le forze dell'ordine che fanno profilazione razziale durante le attività di controllo, sorveglianza e indagine, nei confronti della comunità rom e delle persone di origine africana. Lo stupore di Sergio Mattarella. Le forti critiche del Consiglio d'Europa non passano inosservata al Quirinale, tanto che Sergio Mattarella ha subito sentito il capo della Polizia, prefetto Vittorio Pisani, esprimendogli lo stupore per le affermazioni contenute nel rapporto della Commissione e ribadendo stima e vicinanza alle forze di Polizia. "I poliziotti meritano rispetto, non simili ingiurie", dice la premier Giorgia Meloni. "È inaccettabile che un'organizzazione internazionale insulti donne e uomini che con dedizione ogni giorno mettono a rischio la loro vita per garantire la sicurezza dei cittadini", sostiene Il ministro dell'Interno, Matteo Piantedosi. Certamente il report della commissione contro il razzismo e l'intolleranza del Consiglio d'Europa, è un tantino esagerato: generalizza, non fa differenze, mette sullo stesso piano i toni di alcuni esponenti della politica italiana in perenne campagna elettorale e le molte persone e associazioni che, ogni giorno, attraverso opere di carità e solidarietà, rendono la vita degli ultimi nel nostro Paese se non migliore, almeno più dignitosa. "Il Corsivo" a cura di Daniele Biacchessi non è un editoriale, ma un approfondimento sui fatti di maggiore interesse che i quotidiani spesso non raccontano. Un servizio in punta di penna che analizza con un occhio esperto quell'angolo nascosto delle notizie di politica, economia e cronaca. ___________________________________________________ Ascolta altre produzioni di Giornale Radio sul sito: https://www.giornaleradio.fm oppure scarica la nostra App gratuita: iOS - App Store - https://apple.co/2uW01yA Android - Google Play - http://bit.ly/2vCjiW3 Resta connesso e segui i canali social di Giornale Radio: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/giornaleradio.fm/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/giornale_radio_fm/?hl=it

In this Medtech Matters podcast episode of Mike on Medtech with Mike Drues, president of Vascular Sciences, we're looking at the latest annual list put out by ECRI, an independent authority on healthcare technology and safety, on their top 10 health technology hazards for 2024. The full list is available at the organization's website, which is at www.ecri.org. Specifically, the following questions are addressed:What is ECRI and what is the purpose of this list?Number one on the list is medical devices for the home. Specifically, they indicate medical devices may pose usability challenges for home users, risking misuse and patient harm. Can you please explain why this would be number one on the list? What's the issue with usability?The second item on the list involves inadequate or onerous device cleaning instructions. So this isn't really about cleaning protocols, but rather the instructions that indicate how the device should be cleaned. What's the concern here?The fourth item is regarding the sustainability trend. Specifically, ECRI states this one as overlooked environmental impacts of patient care endanger public health. This is more of a product design issue, correct?Another hot topic item, number five calls out insufficient governance of AI used in medical technologies risks inappropriate care decisions. Is this indicating we should avoid relying too heavily on decisions indicated by AI and ensure clinician overview of findings?Still another hot button, cybersecurity issues ranks at number six on the list. Specifically, it is listed as ransomware targeting the healthcare sector remains a critical threat. This ties in directly to the significant efforts being put forth to ensure connected devices have a cybersecurity plan in place, correct?What are the takeaways?Listen to this discussion and see what you think of these items on the list or what was missed and should have been on the list. If you'd like to share thoughts, ask questions, or have a suggestion for a future topic for us to cover, please reach out to me at sfenske@rodmanmedia.com and we'll see if we want to address your ideas/inquiries/suggestions in a future episode.For more medtech news and information, visit www.mpomag.com.

Good morning from Pharma and Biotech Daily: the podcast that gives you only what's important to hear in the Pharma and Biotech world. In our first news, Walgreens has appointed Mary Langowski as the new president of its U.S. healthcare segment, replacing John Driscoll. Molina Healthcare has reported a loss of 500,000 members due to redeterminations, but expects proposed 2025 rates to boost its benchmark rate.

The American Hospital Association (AHA) has called for more payer oversight in resolving disputes over surprise medical bills.Moving on to the next news, Amgen, Roche, and Pfizer are looking to enter the GLP-1 weight loss market, challenging Novo Nordisk and Eli Lilly. These companies are developing their own versions of diabetes and weight loss drugs. Smaller biotech companies have also shown promising results in clinical trials with their own GLP-1 agonists. Amgen, Roche, and Pfizer are currently in the clinical stages of developing their GLP-1 receptor agonists and could soon enter the weight loss and obesity markets.In financial news, Eli Lilly has reported revenue of over $9.3 billion in Q4 2023, surpassing expectations. The company credits the strong performance to the demand for their weight-loss drug Zepbound and the diabetes treatment Mounjaro. Vertex Pharmaceuticals announced positive results for its cystic fibrosis triple combination therapy in two randomized controlled trials. GlaxoSmithKline's Blenrep combination therapy also achieved a phase III win in multiple myeloma. Novartis has acquired German biotech company MorphoSys to strengthen its oncology portfolio. Bristol Myers Squibb highlighted their comprehensive approach to cancer research.Shifting gears to regulatory news, the FDA panel has recommended new standards for pulse oximeters due to concerns of bias. Cardinal Health has expanded its recall of Monoject syringes due to compatibility problems. The FDA is planning to reclassify most high-risk in vitro diagnostic devices (IVDs) to ease the path for clearance. Edwards has received FDA approval for the first transcatheter tricuspid valve replacement treatment. ECRI has identified usability challenges for at-home devices and inadequate device cleaning instructions as top health technology hazards.Finally, several biopharmaceutical companies are focusing on neuroinflammation as a potential target for treating Alzheimer's disease. Vertex Pharmaceuticals' non-opioid pain drug, VX-548, recently failed in a Phase III trial. Bristol Myers Squibb takes a comprehensive approach to cancer research. Takeda's immunoglobulin therapy for Clostridium difficile infection (CDI) has been approved by the FDA. Novartis has dropped a blood cancer asset after disappointing Phase III results. Merck's Keytruda has achieved Phase III wins in kidney and bladder cancer. BMS's Opdivo has failed in a late-stage kidney cancer trial.These developments indicate positive progress in the pharmaceutical industry, particularly in the areas of cancer treatment and rare diseases like cystic fibrosis. Companies continue to innovate and strive for breakthrough therapies that can improve patient outcomes.Thank you for listening to Pharma and Biotech Daily. Stay tuned for more updates in the world of Pharma and Biotech.

The idea of the “five rights” for medication safety has been taught in nursing school since at least World War II, used as a memory tool that nurses should rely on to administer medications safely. Even though no one can identify where the five rights came from, the idea is embedded in medication safety programs and appears frequently in error reports submitted to ECRI and the ISMP Patient Safety Organization.As our guest Susan Paparella, Vice President, Services, Institute for Safe Medication Practices (ISMP), points out, the five rights are inadequate as a safety tool. Because they do not address the system-level errors that contribute to medication errors, those errors can occur even when the five rights have been followed. In the latest episode, we discuss more about the shortcomings of the five rights, and better starting points for medication safety programs.Learn more about ISMP and the ECRI-ISMP Medication Safety memberships.

When there is an error in medical judgement or a flaw in the healthcare system, someone gets harmed. And this is no trivial matter, because what happens to a patient has an impact on their family, community and on the healthcare system. Dr Marcus Schabacker, President and CEO of ECRI, joins us to discuss persistent and emerging risks to patient safety in the health system, and how ECRI - an independent, non-profit global organisation - works with healthcare stakeholders to improve patient care.

In this episode, Tim Gibson, Senior Manager, Functional Equivalents, and Andy Poole, Associate Director, Strategy and Innovation, ECRI, describe strategies for enhancing the supply management process in non-acute organizations like nursing homes, ambulatory surgery centers, and physician practices. They describe the importance of building a robust data set and dedicating real staff time to this care-critical activity.

Violence toward healthcare workers in healthcare settings has increased over the past decade. As with most other aspects of healthcare, COVID-19 exacerbated these trends. Chris Barfield, an RN and patient safety analyst consultant at ECRI, joins the podcast to discuss ECRI's latest report on healthcare workplace violence and how institutions can apply Total Systems Safety to curb the rise of such violence.

MacroVoices Erik Townsend and Patrick Ceresna welcome ECRI co-founder Lakshman Achuthan to the show to discuss the business cycle and why the expected recession is taking longer than expected to arrive before moving on to discuss whether a new secular inflation trend underlies the transitory inflation from pandemic supply chain effects, which is now receding. https://bit.ly/3DRqq0o Download Lakshman's Charts: https://bit.ly/45ndvih Download Big Picture Trading chartbook

Great, how are you? I'm doing pretty good. Thanks for asking. If you don't mind me asking, tell us a little bit about your past, your present, how'd you get to where you are today? Chrystle: Sure. So I am, well first I'm a dentist.Mm-hmm. And I have been a dentist for 15 years and I kind of fell into this industry. Most likely because my mom is a dentist, she's a general dentist as well. Mm-hmm. And I've, I mean, I'm not sure which part of today or or the future you wanna talk about, but. I, uh, had a dental practice in San Mateo.I kind of built a scratch practice out of my mom's practice, so she kind of helped incubate me out of her one free chair that she had, and I built a practice out of that. And through working as a dentist and doing a lot of my own hygiene for the first few years in practice, I grew super frustrated with.The state of oral hygiene as it was, and the lack of compliance or motivation um, for my patients. And so then I created coco floss with my sister in 2015. And it's since been very well received among dental professionals and in the dental community and consumers alike. So my goal as a dentist and as an entrepreneur is to help people achieve teeth for life, via small habits um, that they can incorporate easily.And something, something small, takes a couple minutes out of your day, and it's something delightful. It'll help make you healthier and help you achieve teeth for Michael: life. Gosh. So why um, well, we're gonna get into the why the cocoa. Bit right now or like part of it, but rewind a little bit. You were, you just decided to do dentistry because more like you saw your mom and you're like, I like that life, or, or why?Chrystle: You know, It was actually pretty roundabout. That's why I'm always a little hesitant when I share that, you know, it's not, so, it wasn't so simple. Like if A then B it wasn't that. Mm-hmm. My mom's a dentist, so I wanna be a dentist. It wasn't at all like that growing up. I I did spend a lot of time in her practice.You know, she would pick me up from school and sit me in her office and I would do my homework there. I would fill in for the front desk whenever the front desk was out sick, or if she had jury duty or was on vacation. I was the front desk and I would, Schedule appointments with pencil and paper and would do the patient ledgers and um, the claims.But those were fun times as a, as a, young adult. And I, uh, also growing up I was a competitive pianist, so my mom being a dentist, many of her friends were dentists and they would say, you know, crystal, you know, with your fast fingers, you should consider dentistry because, those hand skills might come in handy for you in the future.And so all these like little seeds were planted for me very early on in. And it really wasn't until college I was a chemistry major. I knew I had an inclination towards the health sciences because I have a lot of healthcare professionals in my family. And then I, just tried to explore various things.I really tried hard not to, funnel straight into dentistry and I explored various things, but I, I met a group of other women who were determined they wanted to be dentists and they were part of a very small pre-dental society at our college, Wellesley. And together we volunteered at elementary schools in the local um, in suburban Boston.And we taught young children how to brush their teeth and how to care for their teeth. And I had so much fun in this experience that, that that volunteer, those volunteering days alone were what really made me decide that, okay, I wanna be a dentist. So it was the education part of it that really um, got me the education and prevention.So that, yeah, so it was a little roundabout, but definitely helped that, you know, I was exposed to dentistry very early on throughout my childhood. Michael: Yeah. But it didn't become like what you wanted to do until you, until you volunteered. Chrystle: Exactly. Yeah. So it was the volunteering, the community stuff that really got me why.I care a lot about health personally. I just, just love, how, you know, just a little bit of education and education can be free and how that can really help impact a person's life um, you know, in a small way. But that can add up into, let's say, extra years of your life, for example.And so I just, I just had so much fun, you know, that instant reward feeling of being able to teach children how to take care of their teeth and understand about oral health. It felt so good to do that and I, I, I continue to live off of that. I thrive on that feeling so. I continued on in dental school.I was president of our community service organization, and I coordinated everybody's community service while I was there. And so through that I also got to pick and choose the, the coolest community service events. And so, you know, I, I thrived off of that and just really love the outreach work.I love being able to just get in, help people immediately and just, being able to like, fix someone up in like 20 minutes and then them like, give you a big hug and like tears in their eyes and telling you that you've changed their life, that's the kind of stuff that really gets me going.So, and as a dentist, I um, do some, like outreach work. I like to travel to the Philippines and I work out of a pediatric clinic in a very rural town um, in behold in the Philippines. So all of this just, it just keeps fueling my fire and makes me continue to be really passionate about oral health and about prevention.Nice. Michael: So it's more like the. The feeling of the empathy with the people. Right. Kind of like, oh, like, you know, you feel like you can do something right, and then you're doing it basically. Yeah, Chrystle: yeah, definitely. And I would say that, you know, as a dentist, my favorite among, among the things I love about dentistry, one of my favorite parts about it is just building these relationships with people and trying to understand them and, understand what, what are their, what drives 'em, what motivates them.And then I try to help them align. Their goals with better oral health. And it sounds kinda like a little abstract, but I usually can make it, uh, can connect the dots for them because they think they have very like, simple goals with regards to oral health. But when I ask a patient, well, you know, cuz they might say like, oh I just want white teeth or mm-hmm.I don't wanna have to spend so much on my fillings every year cuz that's what I have to do every year. And then I'll kind of, you. I'll make them take a step back and we'll ask them like, how about teeth for Life? Would that be a good goal for you? If they're always like a little surprised, they're like, whoa, teeth for life.I never thought about that. Cause like maybe you should, you could have a little control over it with the right with the right habit building and the right intentions early on. We, we, there are things we can't control in life and there are things that we can control and so why not, implement some small changes to your day-to-day that would help you achieve something that shouldn't be so abstract teeth for life. Mm-hmm. Michael: And so these are like, when you're talking to a patient about that, are those like your new patient exams? Yeah. Okay. How long are those normally Chrystle: for you? Um, Usually at least an hour, but of course in the beginning my assistants are doing like with a requisite ECRI rays and we usually do an IRO scan and photography.Mm-hmm. But time with me is usually at least 30 minutes and sometimes it can go longer. but yes, it usually happens, like the, the most impactful conversations tend to happen in the first patient exam because that's the opportunity that you get to really like, dig in and ask about all their prior dental experiences and what brought them to your chair, your practice to begin with.So that also is my favorite dental appointment, the first new patient exam. Michael: Yeah, I like that. So in your practice, or I'm, I'm assuming you still have that Salmon Mateo practice, right? Or no? Chrystle: Uh, so yes, very recently in July I sold my practice to, uh, a wonderful doctor who I I admire and I'm excited about seeing her grow and take the practice to the next level.Wow. Okay. I'm Michael: gonna ask you about that right now, but real quick, when it comes to the new patient exam, when you were doing it, a lot of the times I think we think like, the more we can run through, the more efficiency, the more numbers right, better collections and production, things like, In your mind, it doesn't really sound like you're worried about that.You're kind of more worried about what? Chrystle: I'm building a connection with the patient and I'm really like establishing, building rapport and I'm trying to understand them. So I am doing my like, clinical assessment and diagnosis in my head. They don't really need to hear that. They don't care. But I'm trying to understand what makes them tick, maybe my patient is. 29 years old and he's striking out on match.com that probably doesn't even exist anymore. I'm dating myself, Ben, like, and he's just, how can he build some confidence in his, in his personal, in, in his whole being, right? And mm-hmm. You know, obviously as dentists we can help with that.So again, just trying to understand what makes people tick, right? What is it that's driving this person? Is it because they're trying to. And, and it, it doesn't necessarily be related to oral health. Like are they trying to achieve something in terms of like their personal fitness goals? are they trying to get a promotion at work?Whatever it is. Like, I wanna know what is the, what does this person care about most and how can I align my recommendations with what Michael: they want? Yeah. So then what questions do you ask for that? Like, it's a complete new person, you're like, Hey, what's up? Or how do you go? Doing that. Is it in the form beforehand and you just look at it or?Chrystle: So I have, I mean, we've been a little lazy and we never made our own health history form. We just used the one from the ada. Mm-hmm. I like to read between the lines there. Um, and you know, the ADA form, it just has like really basic info, but it includes occupation, which is really telling also like who they're um, in case of emergency person would be, or like their spouse or partner.And then of course there's the dental history and then the medical history. And then I just, ask questions, beyond what was on the health history form, and I ask them to tell me more, and then I'm not asking yes or no questions. I'm actually saying like, well, tell me about this.I see here that you've circled that you have tooth sensitivity. Tell me about that. Mm-hmm. So it's not so much like, do you have tooth sensitivity? Yes or no. It's not a binary response. It's tell me about your tooth sensitivity. And then they're gonna tell you a story about like, well, every time I I make ice cream, they're gonna say like, I love to make ice cream.And every time I try my ice cream, it's sensitive or whatever, where I remember I have a patient who. He does struggle with erosion, for example. But he really, really loves making beer, and that's just something that's so important to him. So for him, the decisions and the decisions we make are around like, well, how can we accommodate your passion for beer?I'm not gonna tell you to stop drinking beer because that's part of something that, that's something you really care about, but how can we. Build a plan for you that would help you achieve teeth for life while keeping in, your love for making beer. Michael: Yeah. No, no, no. I a hundred percent. I like that.How you try to connect it, you know? mm-hmm. Especially like occupational, like, oh, mm-hmm. Why are you doing that? And then they're like, oh, I would love to be doing this instead, and be like, also, you love doing that. Right? And you get right. You dig deeper. Yeah. No, no, no. It's good. It's the conversation and the report that you're building, right?Like the relationship. I think that's what we kind of have to look into it. But let's fast forward a little bit. You had a practice. Yes. So talk to me about that. Chrystle: Sure. So first, my mom had a practice that she built from scratch. She had a two operatory practice an immigrant to the United States. So she didn't really have like a network.Um, English wasn't even her first language, but she built a small practice and in for the entirety of her career, she used one. Out the tube. So that's like, nobody does that anymore. First of all, nobody builds two operatory practices unless maybe like very, very, yeah. Specialized. But two operatory general practice and for the entirety of your career.The second chair was basically just, it was used as like a place to hang, a let apron or a place to put the patient's purse. We didn't use that chair at. I wanna say like after maybe 15 or so years, my mom switched the chairs so that at least she got a new chair on her side and the other chair, the older chair.And then when I graduated from dental school in 2008, she didn't have any patience for me. Again, a one chair practice, it's not like a growing thing. And she, she didn't have any patients to give me. So I went and associated with another doctor. In San Francisco and I worked with him, I wanna say like three to four days a week to.And it really was unglamorous. It wasn't, it wasn't anything that, you know, you would dream of. Mm-hmm. It's just, it was a very simple practice. But that doctor, he built an, amazing loyal patient base and had to give him credit. Like he built, these relationships and these patients were so, you know, they, they would never switch dentists even though, the patients were seeing me all the time.Instead of him. They were very loyal to him. And so, I, I learned from there that it's not about having a fancy office at all, it's about the relationship that you build with the patient and of course, doing good dentistry. So a couple years after working with him and not feeling like I was the best fit there, because quite frankly, I wasn't him.He's like this tall guy and he has like a presence and I'm like this little, little Asian 23 year. How old was I then? I was probably 26. And patients would look at me and think I was the assistant. So eventually I started to feel like, all right, I'm getting discouraged here.Time to go build my own patient base. So I, I thankfully had my mom's empty, dusty chair to work out of really old equipment. It was all built in 1986, but I made it into my own, my own practice and I. Quickly, rose to the top of, you know, Yelp search results for having really strong Yelp.And again, a surprise because I was a pretty new graduate and it, again, it had nothing to do with like my facilities. Mm-hmm. By no means state of New York, but it was, I, I, I do believe that it was my you know, how much time I spent with my patients and I had time because, I didn't have any patients to start with, so why not?Spend extra time with the patient. And so I quickly, yeah, just built a practice out of that, just outta one chair. And then soon after that, I, encouraged my mom to take some days off so I could use her chair as well. And in 2018 I had to, well we outgrew our practice a long time prior to this, but in 2018, I, I bought another practice for their space cuz they had four operatories that I could change into five.And so I built a five operatory practice and we, I moved everyone over there, my mom, myself, and our whole, whole team. And in 2022, I sold my practice to my associate. Michael: Gotcha. Okay. So I. It came up right, like pretty quick, really Chrystle: quick. And I, I, I think we would've, we should have moved out of our two operatory space a long time ago.It's just in our town, San Mateo, there are a lot of limitations around, like zoning restrictions, about how you can build a dental practice. For example, downtown San Mateo, you're not allowed to be on the ground level. They want you. Walk down the street and see like coffee shops and restaurants and like retail spaces, but no medical practices or dental practices that allowed you to be upstairs.And if you build a new place upstairs, need to have an 88 compliant elevator. These buildings are like a hundred years old. Nobody has room for an 88 compliant elevator. And so it was just hard. Like I looked for a new practice space for years and I kept striking out. and that, and actually this, this problem I had with like physical space and lack of chair time.I would say was a really key ingredient in my ability to create coco floss because as a dentist, I really should have just been busy doing dentistry. Mm-hmm. And at my growing practice, I should have been doing, I should have been so busy doing the dentistry, but because I didn't have enough chair time I made myself busy making floss.Michael: Wow. Okay. So then, Were people calling and like, Hey Dr. Ku, I wanna, I wanna schedule an appointment. You're like, six months from now, or something like Chrystle: that, or, exactly. It was absurd. Mm-hmm. And I had patients like, tell me, I'll never forget I had this one patient um, for his first new patient exam. He told me he had been waiting for months and after his comprehensive exam, at which time, I don't typically do the first prophylaxis or periodontal maintenance.I just, I do the comprehensive exam and I schedule them for whatever follow-up care they need. Mm-hmm. Basically demanded that I do his cleaning and I was, I was so upset. I was like, but then I also, I mean, I can't help but feel badly. He did wait months to have his appointment with me. And I, I don't know, I I, I dismissed him shortly after that.I was like, this is obviously not a good fit. I don't feel comfortable. Like the way he, yeah, he basically yelled at me saying I had to do his cleaning, and I, I was really upset about it. I admittedly, I, I believe I was crying as I did his cleaning. Michael: And so that wasn't, did he see you? Did he see you? Cry when you were, or No, I was in Chrystle: my 12 o'clock position, so I, I doubt it, but I was really upset about it.Yeah. And so I, I just missed him. But, it's unfortunate that a new patient like that I, I brought him to that point, right. That I've made him wait so long that he was that upset. A new patient exam. Like I know that some practices will preschedule block out time for new patients just to make sure there's always time for a new patient.And I think that's a wise. Thing to do if you get really busy. But for me, it wasn't possible. and I also got to the point where for treatment for some people, you know, if they needed a lot of treatment, I would say, uh, can we do this treatment at your six month week care? Which is a long time to wait for treatment.When I had five operatories, if somebody needed treatment, it's like, let's go do it in the other room right now. Mm-hmm. You know, I would make it happen right now. Whereas, for these, for my, in my two operatory. Somebody needed something, we would have to wait a long time for it. So it just became ridiculous.And um, but that also made me, kind of obsess over prevention because if I was gonna tell a patient, mm, we're gonna have to do your crown in six months, so what I want you to do in between, in the meantime, and I really need you to floss every day, and this is how I want you to do it. And this is why it's important.Yeah. And so that's, that's kind of how I became self obsessed with. Michael: Gotcha. Okay. That's it. So then remind a little bit, you said you had a strong Yelp review, right? That helped you gain the traction. How'd you, if you don't mind me asking, like how'd you build that up? Did you just ask people or. Chrystle: Yeah, actually I think I did ask people in the beginning and it was a little awkward.Of course it's a little awkward to ask that question, but I started with just, you know, my patients when I first started, again, it started from no patients. So I started with just my friends, and my family, so like my cousin or whatever, and. And then I would have them write a Yelp review for me. And I didn't tell them what to write.I wouldn't say like, oh, make sure you gimme five stars or anything like that. It's like, please, can you gimme an honest review on Yelp? Mm-hmm. and then I think at the time it just, there weren't as many like, places to look for reviews at the time. This was like in 2010 or so. So, Yeah, like the, the Yelp reviews just kept piling on and, uh, the phone would bring off the hook.So I was scheduling anywhere from 30 to 50 new patients per month in my one year Michael: off from Yelp, Chrystle: basically. Yeah. Because otherwise I, I mean, the other, only other place to find me would be like, I don't know, maybe in the Yellow Pages, but who, who, who uses that anymore. Michael: Yeah. Yeah. Wow. Okay. That's interesting.Let me ask you, how did it feel for you to be like, We're moving, we're moving to a bigger place like kind of thing. Chrystle: it was hard. Um, But it actually like, it, it kind of happened. So how I mentioned that it was really hard to find his place. For years, I looked for a new place, but it wasn't until our landlord actually told us that we had to move and we didn't have a choice in the matter.They. Evicted the entire building because they wanted to, redo the whole building and rent it out to a single tenant and it wasn't gonna meet any of us existing tenants. That was what really did it for me. They were like pulling the rug out from beneath us. And so they gave us less than one year notice about that.And so I had to find a new practice. And again, I kept striking out. I kept looking and, and struggling with. So I, I, there actually was a point where I thought I might just have to sell our charts and, and maybe I wouldn't, I was like, maybe it's not gonna work out, or, um, you know, maybe we'd have to rent chairs out of a friend's practice, but what would that look like?Cuz we have our own team and our own philosophy and it just might be kinda awkward and that would only be an interim solution. So that was definitely hard, but thankfully, you know, my mom and I, we, we, it all made, it all worked out. My mom I mentioned that she's an immigrant, so she's from the Philippines.She went to dental school in the Philippines and grew up there and she just ran into. A friend from the Philippines mm-hmm. Who happened to have a practice in our town and happened to, it happened to be bigger. Mm-hmm. And when my mom mentioned to her our situation doctor was like, Hmm, well maybe I should slow down and maybe if Crystal can wait for me, I.Maybe I'll just sell my practice to her. So, it was kind of an ins like, it was just a very lucky moment because I don't, I don't know that she necessarily had an exit plan for herself at the time. She was just enjoying dentistry and Wasn't necessarily of the age to retire, but you know, the idea of having someone like me take over her practice sounded kind of good to her.So, and it just, my mom just happened to float the, I floated to her, so it worked out, Michael: so, yeah. Nice. Okay. So then, is it just your mom or do you My Chrystle: mom. Oh, as my, as works. Who works in our practice or Michael: no, I'm sorry. Like in your family, like, oh, Chrystle: um, at the, Michael: as the dentist. As a dentist, but I mean like as far as like, cause you talk about your mom, I don't know if you have a dad or Chrystle: Yeah, yeah.I have a dad too. And a sister who's like Michael: Coco. Yeah. Okay. So, uh, is he a dentist to the dad or your dad or no? Chrystle: Uh, no, but he's more of an entrepreneur, so I like to say that my sister and I are basically mashups of my parents, you know, one being an entrepreneur, the other being a dentist, and, and that's kind of like what we're made out of.Michael: Yeah. That's awesome. So then you started Cocoa Floss. Chrystle: Uh, 2015 is when we launched our product. Though I had been tinkering with floss ideas for years prior for lack of anything better to do with my time. I, I had two hygienists working out of the two chairs, and I would just like twiddle my thumbs, like, what can I do myself?Michael: What can I do by myself? Okay. No. And so at any moment, crystal, did you think like, I'm tired of doing, Or like, I'm tired of being a business owner. Like where was the moment where you were like, I don't wanna do this as much as I thought I did? Uh, dentistry. You mean dentistry or owning the business? Like as far as a practice.Hmm. Oh, Chrystle: that's really hard. So it only finally came to the like, clear decision that I needed to sell the practice or like, it was 20, it was last year, like in the fir in the spring of last year. And it was, it was so hard. And I still kind of like, yeah, I think I, I know I made the right decision cuz the doctor in there is wonderful.But uh, it was because my sister had a health scare and she, she's floss and she was like, crystal, I, I can't do this if I have to go through all this health stuff. So, What do you wanna do about it? You gotta let something go. Are we gonna let coco floss go? Or are you gonna let the dental practice go?And so, yeah, that's what happened. I was also pregnant last year. I was pregnant the entire year, last year. So had a, the entire year I was pregnant the entire year. I had a baby on the way. And busy with, already juggling both businesses and then my sister telling me that. She might need to take a step back from work and I would have to take over.So I was like, I, I can't do them all. Well, I would love to do them all, but if I wanna do them all, well that's not possible. And then the, the baby on the way was not something that you could defer or put off like the baby's coming. So, yeah, I made the decision to solve a practice and it was a very swift thing.Um, It wasn't even enough time for us to, tell the patients like I, I. Started to tell the patients now, because finally we've gotten around to sitting down and drafting a letter to explain it all to them. Um, but we did it with, you know, minimal upset to the practice, a very smooth transition. So I, I would say that I think patients don't even know, like they didn't know of the change because the team didn't change.Nothing changed about the practice. Michael: Gotcha. Why did the, I guess, cocoa floss weigh heavier, you know what I mean? Like, In this thing, right? Or in the pendulum. Right. Why did you guys decide to go, or you decide to go with cocoa floss instead of just your practice? Yeah, Chrystle: so I think um, it kind of, I realized that, well, like any business owner, c e o dentist practice owner, you have to try to delegate as much as you can and anything that you can hire someone to do in your plays, if they, if that's possible, then you should and you should focus on doing the things that only you can.So for example, like as a dentist, like if your a assistant can take great impressions or scan. Absolutely. The assistant should be doing it. The dentist should not be doing it right. It's all about managing that time well. And then what I learned through my first maternity leave in 2020 which coincided with Covid I was able to step away from the practice because I was on maternity leave and it was covid and the patients were doing okay without me.I mean, certainly they asked about me, they wondered where I was, but they were all supportive of the fact that I, had a, had a baby. And it was, it was fine. And the associates that I hired they loved her, so they didn't need me. And so I just felt like I was able to delegate. And I mean, of course every doctor, uh, is different and every relationship is different.So of course, like, I can't say that these, their relationships replace my relationship that I have with my patient. But I, I do think that, um, at Coco Floss, I'm. Uniquely positioned to help lead that business because, it was my idea to begin with, and I'm the one who cares so much about oral health and prevention.So it wasn't right for me to just, to, if I had to abandon one I couldn't abandon Coco floss. Michael: Hmm. Because, yeah, cuz of how unique the position is. It's, it's, you, you guys, you know what I mean? Like a lot of you is in it to where it's like you can't delegate. Chrystle: Yes, exactly. Whereas for the My Dental practice and when I first started, my practice name was just my name Crystal Coo, d d s.But um, some years, you know, maybe around 2014 or so, I rebranded the practice to Young Dental Group because my hygiene team was taking up both of my chairs. And so, um, I wanted to make sure that the name of the practice encompassed all of the providers of the practice. So it wasn't just about me anymore, it was about the whole experience for the patient and all the providers that contributed to the patient's care.young Dental Group. With that practice being less about me and more about the whole experience I could take myself out and it would still be Young Dental Group, Coco Floss. My sister and I, we lead the bus, we lead the company. And if you take me out of it, it doesn't really make sense cuz my sister, she wasn't a flosser. she doesn't care as much about oral health as I do. So yeah, I, I don't, I don't know. Basically I, I needed to be at Coco. Michael: Yeah, it has, uh, your perspective on it. You know what I mean? Like your whole I side of it, so you kind of need to be in it, you know what I mean? So then when did Coco floss to you become like, oh, snap, this is guys, this is a business.Like we're, we're making stuff happen here. Like, this is good mu or you know what I mean? Like when did it become a business? Chrystle: I mean, we've been growing very steadily every year. I remember, I think early on we started out of my apartment and then out my apartment moved to my parents' home.There were days when I would go home during my lunch break to help help my sister like pack boxes. And I think, uh, one of these days when I, one of the moments or times when I felt like, oh man, this is really business. When I go home for my one hour lunch break and see that we have like 300 packages to, to build, it's like, oh, now we're gonna do this all in one hour.That was one of 'em. And other times, I think, you know, going to dental meetings we started very simply at dental meetings with just like a symbol. Booth, like a table with a tablecloth. And now we're, we've got like a double booth at larger meetings, like at C D A, we'll have like a double booth.That's, and it's, it's always jam-packed. We need to have like at least six people manning the booth at any given time. And there's always people standing in line and that feels kind of crazy. It feels like, I don't know if you, I'm sure you've been to cda, but it feels like a wild bazaar. And so that, that feels, makes me feel like we have a business.What's also really exciting is next, in two weeks we're launching at C V S, so this feels really grown up now. Michael: Wait, you guys are gonna be in c v s. Wow, man. That's ok. Chrystle: Hey, we're like, this is, this is real. Michael: Yeah. I've always been curious, crystal, how does that work? Like do you just like, dear CV s, or what do you do?Chrystle: Well, I would imagine that that's how you could do it though. For all of our wholesale partnerships to date, including c v s, they've all been um, obtained via, like inbound requests from the buyers at these companies. So we've been carried at anthropology for many years, and it's because the, the buyer asked to have us there.And c v s likewise, the buyer. Is a personal fan of Coco Floss and she really, really, really wanted our product in their oral care aisle. So that's how it happened, Michael: man. Where was the moments where you were super like, like where you're like, yeah, this is it. This is part of, I guess, being an entrepreneur where it's insanely stressful.Chrystle: Oh, I feel that all the time. Um, My sister and I were always like schlepping things around. the number of like boxes we've had to carry and random things we've had to do. I, it just, it's kind of funny. Um, But I've kind of brought my family along on the ride for it. So, yeah, it is. I feel it every day and it's, it's really fun.Michael: Yeah. Is it a different type of stress than moaning a practice? Or like, is it the same, do you feel like it's the same, like, guys, this is the same thing, I have to manage employees and manage employees over here, or No, it's completely different. Chrystle: It feels a little different. So in the practice, it feels, I love how the practice feels so tight-knit.I mean, you see these people more than you see your own family. and it's the same people. Your team is there with you every day at Coco Floss. We're all remote, so we don't get to like physically be with each other, like can't really hug each other, for example. And so when we do see each other, it, it's really exciting, but it's all like, I'm on my computer all day.It's a very different type of work. And also the size of the business and the size of the team. Uh, coco Philosophy have about 30 employees now. The dental practice, it's always been around like 10 end to 12, so a larger team of Coco floss. the nice thing is that for both I, I still have as a dentist, they're both in pursuit of the same goal as just helping people achieve two for Michael: life.Mm-hmm. So then break it down for us, especially for the ones who are like coco floss, right? Or I've heard of it like coco floss. What is that? What is coco floss? Chrystle: It's a woven dental floss and it's infused with coconut oil and it comes in a bunch of fun fragrances. We always have it in, uh, coconut, strawberry, orange, and mint.And throughout the year we have seasonal limited edition fragrances. Like here we have watermelon and we have, uh, chocolate here. And, uh, I think there might be, well you don't see it in this picture, but we have like passion for it or pineapple. So just trying to make flossing delightful and fun.Trying to turn a chore into a treat and make flossing into something that you look forward to and that you wanna do. Michael: Gotcha. Okay. And so you guys, I know in some pediatric practices that we work with, like cocoa flosses in there, is there like a specific different price for practices compared to like, somebody from cvs?Chrystle: Yeah, so we do have a dental sales program where we are selling direct to dentists. They get to order this size, this small size. It's like an eight yard, and it's like about a two week supply. And usually dentists are putting that into their hygiene goody bags. And we also have the 33 yard size, which is what people can buy to anthropology or at cvs and.Practices are buying that at about half price and then they resell it to their patient for retail price. And then also we have like a large school that's like a professional size that, clinicians are using chairside and they use it in their procedures for all the perio procedures and also even restorative procedures.Michael: Okay, so it's available for them? Yeah, it's available for them, yeah. Nice. Okay. So I guess. How can this, cuz I remember when I was working in a couple practices, like water picks was like coming up and it was like, this is it. Right? Is that something where you're like, okay, this is our, not competition, but like, how does that work?Chrystle: Well, I mean, I, I think water picks are great. I don't have anything against water pick at all, but I don't believe that they're of true replacement for flossing. I think it's a great adjunct. unfortunately, I've had some patients, say that they were water picking exclusively and not flossing, and I've seen recurrent caries around usually like multi-unit restorations like bridges or even interproximal caries.And so, I don't know. I, I just don't know that the water pick can always get underneath rest restorations or in between teeth in the same way that floss can physically deprive those areas. Mm-hmm. So I, it's not yeah. Not a replacement, but water pick's a great adjunct. Michael: Yeah, because we were water picking.Me and my wife are like a really, I still do it, but she's the one who. I'm gonna floss too because I'm, you know what I mean? And so I was like, okay. Yeah, that's interesting. I don't know, double clean, I guess, but I didn't know that until you just told me right now. So, Chrystle: yeah, I mean that, of course curious doesn't afflict every patient, but I, I've seen it enough times where I can't tell a patient I can't do it.Like, consciously, like, you know, I like to tell a patient they, oh yeah, you can just water pick. I, I won't, I can't feel good about it because I've seen the carries that people get still with using water. Michael: Gotcha. What have you seen with people using cocoa floss with their marketing, like dental practices?How have they used it in a, like a unique way or a different way that, you know, maybe like brings better brand awareness or even attracts new patients, things like that. Chrystle: Yeah, so I've seen a lot of practices use Coco Foss as, one, as a way to draw patients to the practice. For example, I've seen patients, uh, practices, offer, let's say like a Yelp check-in reward, check in on Yelp and get a Coco Foss.So, gonna incentivizes people to check in on Yelp and, and usually these people who check in on Yelp eventually write a review, which as we mentioned is, can be really impactful for growing a business or growing a. I also see practices using cocoa floss. To display in the, the front desk. The, the display that we have, it's like a jar and it's the colors of Coco Foster candy.Like, so, de that feeling of delight that you have like walking into a candy shop or like walking into a florist where there's like this explosion of color. Like, why don't have that in the dental office? Because dental offices are typically thought of as like sterile, cold and fear-inducing places.So when a patient walks into a practice and they. Oh, well that's kind of a nice surprise. Like it's an uplifting type of color to see. It kind of, it helps ease anxiety and helps kind of make the patient a little happier. So the PA um, practices will have the Coco FLS in the front desk area and they'll be, selling it.And then in the. back um, in the chair side, when a patient is floss with cocoa floss, it feels so different. And usually patients just like, what is that? Mm-hmm. Because unlike a slippery floss, like a, like the Teflon types of floss and that are so slippery and thin and then they actually kind of can hurt sometimes when you floss.Mm-hmm. Yeah. Your gums and they make your gums lead. Coco fo is, it's thicker and it feels much more substantial and it's scarier. So, your hygienist, your dentist will floss with it. And it's like, whoa, what is that? Because your teeth feels so clean instantly, and it also smells good because plaque smells disgusting.And then, you have this like waft of like sweet strawberries and the patient's like, oh, that's really nice. Yeah. that it makes a difference. And then again, with the hygiene bags, if a patient, uh, sent home with a coco brush and a coco floss it really tells the patient like, wow.This practice really cares about using the best quality materials. they're giving me this amazing product. So, it speaks volumes about the values of the practice and then it, it becomes like a, a another reason for the patients to talk about it with their friends and family and refer more patients to the.Michael: Hmm. Do you guys help the practice, I guess like the back office or anything, like when they order coco floss, do you guys help 'em with that? Like maybe the rep or anything? Chrystle: Yeah. Yeah. We do have a little sales team and um, we obviously like really wanna help, help practices become successful with coco floss, so.Mm-hmm. We are doing everything we can to handhold as much as we need to um, handhold practices through making it successful in our. Michael: Man. It's cool how, uh, crystal, like throughout this conversation you can still see like the, when you were younger and you're like the volunteering kind of thing where you're just like, I just wanna help people out, kind of thing.Right. That's it Still today, like you're just like, I just wanna help people out. Like I wanna hold their hand in. Yeah. It's cool. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. I wanted to ask you one of the last questions. Throughout this process, I guess, from the moment you decided to own a practice mm-hmm. To. What's been some of your biggest struggles or fails or pitfalls?Chrystle: Well, for the longest time, I mean certainly time management is something that I had, I've had to get really good at, but I've. Also struggled with the feeling of guilt because when I was working at the dental practice, I'd feel guilty about coco floss or if I'm working at Coco floss, I feel guilty about the dental practice.Or for either of them, if I'm working more than, more than I should be, than I'm guilty about not spending time with my family. So that's something that I. Struggle with I'm getting better about it, and it's super helpful that I have a very supportive family. And we just do everything together.Like, for example, I mentioned like schlepping boxes everywhere. Like my kids at this point have, come with me to dental meetings and they're, they're with me on these rides where we have like the whole minivan filled with boxes. So that's, but yeah, guilt has been something that I've, I've struggled with, but I, I think that this is all just a part of who I am and I'm always working on.Michael: Yeah. How are you work? Like I know like right now you let go of the practice, but I, you know, a lot of people do, I guess, talk about, especially parents like mom guilt, right? I guess how are you working on that? Like what advice can you give us for that Chrystle: advice? So I just, focus on, one of my personal.For myself and what are the things that I care about and my passions and, and I just make sure that all of the things that I'm doing in my day-to-day align towards that goal. the good thing is that despite letting go of my practice, I do feel like my, you know, my professional goal in life is to help people achieve teeth for life.And so I, I believe that I'm continuing to do that, so I don't have to feel so guilty about letting the practice go, cuz it doesn't ha again, as I mentioned, it doesn't have to be me going in and, and treating. Patients, like I have other doctors who could do that. And here I'm, leading this brand growth and hopefully hopefully inspiring even more people to um, take better care of their teeth.So just focusing on the goals, like what are your, and then that's really hard and it's something that you probably, I think people should at least revisit at least annually. And just think about like, what is it that you're passionate about and what are the goal, your goals, and then how can you align all of your daily actions and how you spend your time towards those goals.Michael: Mm-hmm. Have you ever caught yourself? It's changing constantly. Like maybe not constantly, but like pivoting and you're like, oh my gosh. And then you feel like what you've done in the past, you're like, I guess that was, some of it was pointless. You know what I mean? Kind of thing. Or cuz my goal pivoted.Has that ever Chrystle: happened to you or? Um, I try not to have too many regrets, but I, I'll say I have a lot of fomo. A lot of fomo. I mean, I actually really love clinical dentistry. I had so much fun being able to transform health and transform, you know, my patients. In terms of like confidence. I love Invisalign, for example.I became totally obsessed with Invisalign, and I miss that. I miss that time with my patients and being able to like, really make an impact in their lives. So there's my FOMO and I, I don't know what I'm gonna do with it yet. The, the practice sale was very recent.I don't know yet. I'm gonna own another practice in the future if I'll, you know when I'm gonna, Start working again in clinical dentistry. my baby is very young, and so it doesn't make sense at this time. Mm-hmm. But yeah, I, I don't know. We'll see. Michael: Awesome. Crystal, thank you so much for being with us.It's been a pleasure.

Osmanlı Hanedan üyeleri hudut hârici edildikleri zaman, ellerine tek gidişe mahsus pasaport ve 1000 İngiliz lirası tutarında para verilmişti. Eli açık, hayır hasenâta düşkün ve muayyen bir hayat seviyesinde yaşamaya alışmış insanlar için bu paranın ancak çok az bir zaman idare edeceği aşikârdı. Götürebildikleri mücevherler ve yükte hafif pahada ağır eşya satıldıktan sonra, acı hakikât bütün çıplaklığı ile ortaya çıktı. Sürgünün birkaç ay süreceğini sanmışlardı. Şimdi ne yapacaklardı? Hicaz Meliki Şerif Hüseyin, 11 Mart 1924'te bir beyannâme neşretti: “Osmanlı ailesinin İslâmiyete ve müslümanlara yaptığı hizmetler inkâr edilemez; kahramanlıkları küçük görülemez. Bu aile hakkında verilen son (sürgün) kararı müslümanların yüreklerini dağlamış, kalblerini kırmıştır. Bu sebeple, ailenin ihtiyaçlarını karşılamayı ve maişet sıkıntısı çekmelerine mâni olmayı, İslâm kardeşliğinin bir icâbı görüyoruz. Ecri büyük olan bu işe iştirâk etmek isteyen mertlik erbâbının, Mekke-i Mükerreme'de bulunan vekillerimize arzularını bildirmeleri lâzım gelir.” Ancak İngilizler, Ankara'yı küstürmemek adına, hanedanın para sahibi olmasını istememiştir. Yardım için kendilerine müracaat edenleri de “bütçede yeri olmadığı” gerekçesiyle geri çevirmiştir. Haydarabad Nizâmı, hanedanın hâlini öğrenince, esaslı bir yardım etmek istemiş; İngilizleri razı edebilmek için de, Halife'nin meteliksiz ve açlıktan ölmek üzere olduğunu vurgulamıştır. Bu devre ait ve mevzuya dair İngiliz raporları, ailenin sefâletine karşı hissiz, hatta küçümseyici mahiyettedir. Yardım için İngiliz ve Fransız hükümetine, Hindistan racâlarına şehzadelerin yazdığı mektuplar, okuyanın içini parçalar. Böylece sürgünün ilk seneleri inanılmaz sefâlet içinde geçti. Sultan Vahîdeddin'in tabutuna alacaklılar haciz koydular. Borçları, Şerif Faysal ve Abdullah ödedi. Bazısı ümitlerini Sultan Hamid'in yurt dışındaki efsanevî mirasına bağlamıştı. Hatta birkaç şirket, bu işi takip etmek için hanedan efradına üç beş kuruş avans bile verdi. Ama bu iş de, Londra-Ankara konsorsiyumu tarafından engellendi. (Prof Ekrem Buğra Ekinci, Sürgündeki Hanedan)

Are Staffing Shortages Increasing Adverse Events?In March, The Advisory Board reported on the Top 10 Patient Safety Concerns for 2022 according to ECRI, a 60-year-old nonprofit committed to the safety, efficacy, and cost-effectiveness of healthcare. ECRI publishes an annual report on safety concerns and this year, number one on their list is “Staffing Shortages.” ECRI stated that, “Adverse events… were happening because the staff… were exhausted, and that contributes to human error.”The Advisory Board cited other research that found nurses are 67% more likely to have a failure of patient safety when working overtime, and that insufficient staffing is the number 1 factor influencing nurses' intention of leaving their current position. Today's guest is Mark Lloyd, Senior Vice President at Guideway Care, a tech-enabled, patient activation, and care navigation company, that is addressing staffing shortages and clinical team exhaustion with care guidance and navigation. Email us at: oncology@thekinetixgroup.com#TKGoncology.com

In this episode, we're talking about ECRI's number one Top 10 concern for 2022: staffing shortages and the potential dangers to both the patients and the staff. Prior to 2021, there was a growing shortage of both clinical and non-clinical staff, but the problem has grown exponentially. Our guest is Ernest Grant, PhD, RN, FAAN, the 36th President of the American Nurses Association (ANA).

Matt earned his Bachelor of Science Degree in Pharmacy from the Philadelphia College of Pharmacy and Science and is a fellow of the Institute for Safe Medication Practices as well as the American Society of Consultant Pharmacists. He first joined ISMP in 2000 as an ISMP Safe Medication Management Fellow. His responsibilities include working with healthcare practitioners and institutions to provide education about medication errors and their prevention, and reviewing medication errors that have been voluntarily submitted by practitioners to ISMP's National Medication Errors Reporting Programs (MERP).  See Matt Grissinger's full bio on the ISMP website.  He has held numerous leadership positions and has contributed to a number of publications.  In addition, he's an adjunct assistant professor for Temple University School of Pharmacy.   The Institute for Safe Medication Practices (ISMP) is the nation's first 501c(3) nonprofit organization devoted entirely to preventing medication errors. ISMP is known and respected for its medication safety information. For more than 25 years, it also has served as a vital force for progress. ISMP's advocacy work alone has resulted in numerous necessary changes in clinical practice, public policy, and drug labeling and packaging. Among its many initiatives, ISMP runs the only national voluntary practitioner medication error reporting program, publishes newsletters with real-time error information read and trusted throughout the global healthcare community, and offers a wide range of unique educational programs, tools, and guidelines. In 2020, ISMP formally affiliated with ECRI to create one of the largest healthcare quality and safety entities in the world, and ECRI and the ISMP PSO is a federally certified patient safety organization by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. As an independent watchdog organization, ISMP receives no advertising revenue and depends entirely on charitable donations, educational grants, newsletter subscriptions, and volunteer efforts to pursue its life-saving work. Visit www.ismp.org and follow @ismp1 to learn more.  Highlights from the interview How does ISMP use its voice? ISMP is the voice of the medication use process.  ISMP looks at and addresses problems with the medication use process. Unless pharmacists and other practitioners speak up and tell ISMP about medication use problems, ISMP doesn't know about them.  Unsafe conditions, errors, etc. need to be reported, investigated, and shared around the world so others learn why things are going wrong and strategies to prevent harm to patients.  ISMP publishes a variety of newsletters, gives presentations (Example: ASHP Midyear in December), provides webinars, and offers in-person consulting at hospitals/outpatient pharmacies to do a proactive risk assessment, which looks at the medication use process to see what needs improvement.  Over time and through publications in trade journals, education programs, etc. ISMP has grown their influence. How did ISMP get started? Mike Cohen founded ISMP and is the current President.  His passion for medication safety began in the 1970's, when he shared information about a serious insulin-related adverse event in his workplace with Hospital Pharmacy.  The information was shared in story format. How does ISMP define a medication error?   Use the definition created by NCCMERP (National Coordinating Council for Medication Error Reporting and Prevention).  Medication errors differ depending on the setting they happen in and how they happen.    Who should report medication errors to ISMP?   ISMP accepts reports from consumers and any healthcare practitioner. ISMP is a qualitative reporting program, not a quantitative reporting program.  The story and the details are important to creating a clear picture of what happened in order to improve processes or develop strategies.  People don't remember bar graphs, they remember stories.  Personal stories are powerful. Matt shared a memorable story about a fentanyl patch and the death of a child. What can we learn from the story? Counseling about proper storage and disposal could have saved the child's life. What are some important features about ISMP's website?   ISMP's website is a wealth of information.  Pharmacists, pharmacy students, and other healthcare professionals should access the tools and resources on the website.  A good place to start is the self-assessments for pharmacies.  The assessments lead to great conversations that improve safety.  Discussing the lists (Confused Drug Names, Error-Prone Abbreviations, etc) can also create awareness about medication safety issues.   How do pharmacy schools use information from ISMP to inform students? ISMP provides its newsletter to schools of pharmacy at no cost.  Two schools of pharmacy that include classes on medication safety topics are Temple University and Thomas Jefferson University.  Matt Grissinger teaches at Temple.  Although he is not familiar with the curriculum at all schools of pharmacy, he would like to see pharmacy students learn more about medication safety and safe medication use processes. Students need to understand context in a variety of settings, including the ICU, operating room, med-surg floor, and more. What is a notable achievement ISMP has made?   Being cited/referenced by numerous sources (for example Joint Commission and Medicare) is an achievement. ISMP tries to change organizations, lives, and processes.   Does ISMP have any important partnerships?  Matt mentioned two: ECRI (also based in Pennsylvania) and ASHP. Are there any myths about ISMP?   Yes.  ISMP is not a regulatory body, and they do not receive government funding.   What challenges does ISMP face? Permanent change in healthcare Affecting change in volume Uniform safe practices across the board Sharing knowledge Standardizing processes Getting everyone on board How can pharmacists, pharmacy students, and pharmacy technicians get the most out of ISMP?  Read the newsletter subscriptions Use ISMP's self-assessment tools and other tools on the website. Tell ISMP your stories and workplace concerns. They can lead to change. Learn about medication errors and why they happen.  We need to get our pharmacy leaders to dig for details about what worries their staff about safe medication use practices.   Thank you for listening to episode 107 of The Pharmacist's Voice ® Podcast!  Please subscribe or follow on your favorite podcast player. 

Today, more than a year into the COVID pandemic, we're talking about the process of disaster recovery. While much has been written over the past year about the ways in which the national and global healthcare systems prepared (or could have prepared) for the pandemic, and should prepare for the next one, not as much attention has been paid to how individual providers and organizations will recover from the past year's trauma. In this episode, our guest reminds us that challenges like these can also be viewed as opportunities—and we'll discuss how healthcare providers can turn that attitude into action.To learn more about ECRI's response to the pandemic, check out the COVID-19 Resource Center.

With access to COVID-19 vaccines now more widespread throughout the United States, but still only available under emergency use authorization, employers are wrestling with questions about whether to mandate that their staff received the vaccine. Perhaps, no industry has a more fraught decisions than Aging Services. There remains a significant gap between vaccination rates among staff and residents, and older adults remain one of the most vulnerable populations to COVID-19.In today's episode, we'll review the current state of COVID vaccinations in Aging Services, talk about strategies for increasing vaccination rates, and discuss some of the unintended consequences of not vaccinating.To learn more about ECRI's Aging Services Risk Management, or to request a demo, visit https://www.ecri.org/solutions/aging-risk-management/.

durée : 00:03:08 - L'Esprit d'initiative - par : Emmanuel Moreau - La crise sanitaire, au milieu des contraintes multiples subies par de nombreuses personnes, aura apporté son lot d'idées nouvelles et de découverte d'une société parfois mise à l'écart pour cause de vieillesse, d'isolement ou par défaut de moyens.

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services formally designated ECRI as a Patient Safety Organization (PSO) in 2008. Since then, our PSO has studied nearly 4 million adverse events and near misses from over 1,400 healthcare providers nationwide across acute, ambulatory, and aging services. In this episode, we'll explore what it means to be and participate in a PSO and the evidence for how participation can benefit patient safety, and we'll briefly review some of the legal challenges to PSO protections.

The ECRI's list of patient safety concerns for 2021—listed in order of ranking— with our commentary following each.

Today, we're talking about ECRI's 2021 list of the Top 10 Health Technology Hazards. This report is intended to identify potential sources of danger that we believe warrant the greatest attention for the coming year and offer practical recommendations for reducing the risks. The 2021 list features all new topics. Several focus on hazards that have developed in today’s environment of unprecedented stresses and rapid technological changes.

It's Kelly Preece here, and I'm really excited to be bringing you the second in a special series that 3 00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:38,000 we're doing for Beyond Your Research Degree about securing jobs during Covid 19. 4 00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:43,000 So last time I talked to Tomir about securing a job with an NGO. 5 00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:48,000 And today I'm gonna be talking to Charlotte Chivers in a very similar position to Timur, 6 00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:55,000 writing up herPhD and starting a new job, but this time as a postdoctoral research associate. 7 00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:59,000 So we normally on Beyond your Research degree, we focus on non-academic careers. 8 00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:03,000 But given the real challenges our PGRs are facing at the moment, 9 00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:10,000 it seemed really pertinent to talk about securing academic and research jobs as well. 10 00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:20,000 Yeah, hi. So I'm Charlotte Chivers and I have been doing my PhD at the University of Exeter since twenty seventeen. 11 00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:26,000 My research is within the Centre for Rural Policy Research. 12 00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:37,000 So it's a social science. PhD and I have been exploring the efficacy of agriculture advice surrounding diffused water pollution. 13 00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:47,000 So I have now finished a draft of my entire thesis and congratulations. 14 00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:52,000 And I'm making revisions based on my supervisor's comments at this stage. 15 00:01:52,000 --> 00:02:00,000 However, back in September, I started a research position at the University of Gloucestershire. 16 00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:05,000 So I now work in the Countryside and Community Research Institute. 17 00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:12,000 So I've been juggling, working full time and finishing off my PhD. 18 00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:18,000 And again, I'm working in social science, but mostly looking at environmental stuff. 19 00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:25,000 So I now work on two big EU projects. One is called Soil Care, which it's soil health in agriculture. 20 00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:32,000 And the other is called Spint and we are looking at pesticides in agriculture. 21 00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:38,000 That's brilliant. Thank you. So there's a number of lots of different things to pick up on within that. 22 00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:43,000 But I think so firstly. So if we can go back to September last year. So was it September you started the job? 23 00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:48,000 Yes. I started in September. So when when did you when did you apply? 24 00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:55,000 What were the sort of timescales? So I applied in June last year. 25 00:02:55,000 --> 00:03:07,000 OK, yeah. So. So I wasn't. Sorry. No i was just going to say so this is so all of the application process, everything, it's all happened during COVID. 26 00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:12,000 Yes. Yes. OK. So I. 27 00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:15,000 Let's start at the beginning of that process that I'm thinking about, how it might have been affected by it. 28 00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:21,000 So how? First of all, how did you how did you find this role? 29 00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:26,000 So I had sort of had my eye on the centre 30 00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:32,000 I now work for for the last couple of years and I recognised that it would potentially be a good fit for me. 31 00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:38,000 So I kept my eye on their website and I attended one of our events. 32 00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:45,000 So they have a annual winter school, which meant that I had the opportunity to meet some of the academics working there. 33 00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:49,000 And from then on, then I kind of just kept my eye out for jobs. 34 00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:54,000 And although it was quite early for me to apply for a job because I still had, you know, 35 00:03:54,000 --> 00:04:00,000 my PhDi ongoing, I wanted to make sure I didn't miss out on an opportunity. 36 00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:04,000 As obviously, you know, academia is competitive. So I had to kind of go for it. 37 00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:09,000 When when a job came along. So, yeah, absolutely. 38 00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:15,000 And I think, you know, it is that when your when you're targeting particular departments or organisations, 39 00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:24,000 if you're thinking outside academia that are a really good fit for your passion, but also your kind of knowledge and skills. 40 00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:28,000 It is sometimes having to kind of make that compromise going okay. 41 00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:36,000 It's not the ideal time. But is this opportunity likely to come up in six months when it is the ideal time? 42 00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:46,000 Can you talk a little bit about the. Application process, particularly thinking about what might have been different about it because of the, 43 00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:52,000 you know, the all of the restrictions that we've had in the UK for the past year or so. 44 00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:58,000 Yeah. So in terms of actually applying for the job, it was it was the same essentially because, 45 00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:04,000 you know, I had to submit an application form and a CV online. And so that was quite normal, actually. 46 00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:16,000 And that the first stage where it was quite different is that my interview had to be held online with a panel of three professors, 47 00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:24,000 which was quite interesting. You know, I had to get myself into the mindset of an interview even though I was starting my apartment. 48 00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:30,000 So that day that I just made sure that I got dressed up as if I was going to an interview. 49 00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:38,000 And I just tried to get myself in that mindset. But it was quite strange having a sort of online interview. 50 00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:47,000 But luckily for panellists were lovely, really supportive. So, you know, I felt relatively at ease despite it being an online interview. 51 00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:50,000 Yeah. And I think you've picked up on a couple of really important things. 52 00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:57,000 They're about actually kind of that sense of mindset of how do you put yourself in the frame of mind of performing, 53 00:05:57,000 --> 00:06:01,000 because that's essentially what an interview it is, isn't it? You know, it comes down to it. 54 00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:10,000 You're you're kind of performing for the interview panel. And how do you do that when you're kind of in your in your everyday? 55 00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:12,000 Environments, so I think that thing you said about, you know, 56 00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:18,000 getting dressed up and doing all of those things like you would do for an interview normally are really important. 57 00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:28,000 Were there any kind of any markedly different things for having the interview online from when you've had interviews face to face? 58 00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:34,000 Was there anything kind of. I don't know. Different or challenging? 59 00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:37,000 About doing that way. Yeah, definitely so. 60 00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:42,000 And the thing is, it's because there were four of us on the call. 61 00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:47,000 And you have a lag often when you're online It was incredibly difficult to not interrupt each other. 62 00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:51,000 And and being in an interview, you obviously don't want to interrupt people. 63 00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:57,000 You want to make sure that you, you know, wait your turn and speak when you can ask the question. 64 00:06:57,000 --> 00:07:03,000 But there were a couple of times. So it's quite difficult to know when to talk and when to get a word in. 65 00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:09,000 So that's something that was a bit challenging. But again, I think everyone is aware of this. 66 00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:16,000 So I didn't I didn't see it as a major issue because I assume everyone is facing the same sort of challenge. 67 00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:19,000 So it was kind of it was kind of okay. Yeah. 68 00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:29,000 And were there any kind of any positives, any things that you felt were kind of easier or or or nicer or more relaxed because of the online format? 69 00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:34,000 Yeah, I mean, I personally do prefer in-person meetings because you can build rapport a bit easier. 70 00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:40,000 You can make proper eye contact, but not having to travel was quite nice. 71 00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:43,000 I didn't have to worry about being late, unless the Internet had died. 72 00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:46,000 But, you know, in general, our Internet is really strong. 73 00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:53,000 So I could just kind of get up in the morning and not think, oh, my gosh, I need to make sure the train isn't late or. 74 00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:58,000 Yeah. So it was quite nice, actually, not having to worry about about that. 75 00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:04,000 So, yeah, I'd say that was a benefit. But other than that I'd say I didn't find it dramatically different. 76 00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:13,000 You know, it was interviews are Always scary. You know, I think I think either way, it's not it's not the easiest of things to go through. 77 00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:17,000 But, you know, I think having a nice panel really helped. 78 00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:22,000 And, you know, I think just making sure your Internet is working and stuff is really important to you. 79 00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:28,000 But, yeah, I wouldn't say there were any massive positives or necessarily any massive negatives either. 80 00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:34,000 It was kind of. Yeah, it was it was different. But it was but it was fine. 81 00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:42,000 So can we talk a little bit more about what was involved as part of the application process? 82 00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:48,000 So you said that you did an online application form and a CV were that particular things like. 83 00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:55,000 Required as part of the application form. Did you have to do like a personal statement against the job specification or questions? 84 00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:59,000 Upload documents, anything like that? Yeah. 85 00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:09,000 So I believe I had to fill in in the application form, I had to refer to how I met the sort of essential and desirable criteria. 86 00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:17,000 And as a rule of thumb, what I always do is I actually copy across all of the headings from the job description. 87 00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:20,000 And I specifically answer each one. 88 00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:28,000 So, you know, and that's always worked quite well for me because it means that the person reading the application can literally see straightaway. 89 00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:35,000 Okay. They've actually tried to answer every single one of these essential and desirable criteria. 90 00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:41,000 So I remember specifically doing that, but I don't think it had off the top of my head. 91 00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:46,000 I can't remember having any really sort of specific things that were out of the ordinary. 92 00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:53,000 It was kind of just an application form. And yeah, your CV, which I obviously tailored for four jobs, 93 00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:59,000 I made sure that I prioritise certain things and put things at the top that were really important. 94 00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:05,000 So, you know, my publication record and my previous work experience were important for this particular position. 95 00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:14,000 So, you know, I just made sure that it was really I make it as easy as possible for us to do application to see, 96 00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:21,000 you know, the key things that they need to know about you rather than having it hidden or or further down the page. 97 00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:27,000 Yeah. Yeah, I think that's a couple of things that you said and that just really useful kind 98 00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:32,000 of simple tools like copy and cross the headings of the person specification. 99 00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:36,000 I do that and I don't necessarily use them as headings, but I make sure that, 100 00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:40,000 like with the example I'm giving the examples I have the exact language from the person. 101 00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:46,000 specification. Just say it like you're having all the signals or making it really, really clear. 102 00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:51,000 And so with the interview, was there any preparation you have to do for the interview? 103 00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:58,000 Did you have to do task or anything like that? No, I didn't. 104 00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:03,000 I don't think. But I did send across some material in advance. Just off my own bat. 105 00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:07,000 OK. So I, I basically just really wanted this job. 106 00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:11,000 So I probably came across as extremely keen. I think that's fine. 107 00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:19,000 So I essentially sent across some examples of my work just to help bolster my application. 108 00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:25,000 So part of the role was and so I work on dissemination work package for one of for projects. 109 00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:30,000 So, you know, I don't just do research. I have to help with dissemination and communication. 110 00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:34,000 So I sent across a couple of examples of infographics, ive made, 111 00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:41,000 and I think I sent them a podcast and things like that just to show that even though I'm mostly trained in research, 112 00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:48,000 I am capable of doing with dissemination side as well, because, you know, it was quite hard to articulate that without providing evidence. 113 00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:51,000 So I made sure to send that. But it wasn't a prerequisite. 114 00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:57,000 They didn't ask for it, but I just felt that it would help them to see that, you know, I'm not just saying I can do it. 115 00:11:57,000 --> 00:12:06,000 I have shown them. Yeah, absolutely. And I think, you know, as part of the whole job application process, that's to be being proactive. 116 00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:14,000 It is so crucial to the whole process. And do your remember what kind of questions they asked you an interview. 117 00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:21,000 Oh, my gosh. One of one of the questions I asked was actually where I'd like my career to go. 118 00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:25,000 Which one? Yeah. So and I was quite sort of. 119 00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:29,000 And I was like, well, I could just say, oh, I just desperately want. 120 00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:35,000 this job forever to try and persuade them to give it to me. But I decided to be honest and actually that really paid off. 121 00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:40,000 So I said, you know, within a few years I'd like to be a research fellow. 122 00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:49,000 And when I got offered the job, they said that actually really helped me get the job because they want people to progress and they like ambition, so. 123 00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:55,000 Yeah. So I remember they asked me that was. Oh, they asked. 124 00:12:55,000 --> 00:13:02,000 They asked questions about my research interests. So, again, you know, I don't want to end up doing research I'm not passionate about. 125 00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:11,000 So I was completely honest. You know, I explained that I'm very interested in farm advice and soil health and the environment. 126 00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:21,000 And again, you know, it was just lucky that the job I was applying for, you know, happened to be really aligned in my research interests. 127 00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:25,000 They also asked me to talk about. So this is a really common in question. 128 00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:31,000 I think I've had it in every interview I've ever done. They ask what your sort of weakness is. 129 00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:38,000 And I always. Yeah, and I always tackle that by giving an example of a weakness. 130 00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:40,000 I may be used to have. 131 00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:48,000 And then I explain how I resolved it or how I managed to kind of overcome it or how I'm working to do so so that I don't just say, 132 00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:56,000 oh, I'm really bad at this. And then that's it. I make sure to say, you know, I used to really struggle with time management, for example. 133 00:13:56,000 --> 00:14:05,000 But since then, I've decided to have to make more lists and to use my calendar more just as an example. 134 00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:09,000 So that's something that I think I've been asked in every interview I've ever had 135 00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:19,000 Yeah. I wondered, so you said that you're working on you've completed a full thesis draft and you're working on feedback from your supervisors. 136 00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:28,000 Is that right? Yes, that's correct. So you started this job in September and to those listening we are currently in February. 137 00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:37,000 So with a period of five months you've been working full time and finishing writing up your thesis. 138 00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:44,000 So are you technically still registered full time for you for your PhD 139 00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:48,000 No. No. So, I mean, continuation status. Yeah. 140 00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:53,000 Yeah. So my my funding finished in September. 141 00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:57,000 And then I started my job in September, which was quite nice because, you know, 142 00:14:57,000 --> 00:15:03,000 I couldn't afford to have a gap in and, you know, financially, it's very difficult to to have a gap. 143 00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:13,000 So I kind of did need to start. But equally, you know, due to various reasons, due to the pandemic and things, I hadn't quite finished my PhD. 144 00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:21,000 So, yeah, I just I just had to go for it really and sort of just make sure I work on the thesis as much as I can. 145 00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:27,000 So what I did once I'd settled into this ECRI, which is where I work now, 146 00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:33,000 I took a week of annual leave and just sort of really worked on a thesis because 147 00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:38,000 I find it hard to I can do some work in the evenings on the on the thesis, 148 00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:42,000 but I think it's hard to get into that headspace when you've been working on other research all day. 149 00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:49,000 So I decided to use my annual leave up to sort of get the bits of my thesis just finished. 150 00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:57,000 I needed to. And then it's been quite nice because I actually handed in my draft to my supervisors 151 00:15:57,000 --> 00:16:04,000 in November and then it took three months to get my supervisor comments back in full. 152 00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:09,000 So I essentially just had three months to just work on my job and and other bits, 153 00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:13,000 too, because I seemed to just always have several other bits going on with work. 154 00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:17,000 But yeah, so I've only just got it back a couple of weeks ago. 155 00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:20,000 So I now now hatched a plan. 156 00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:31,000 I have now had my full draft back with supervisors comments throughout and I've hatched a very strict plan to make sure that I do submit and that I, 157 00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:38,000 you know, have time to sort of make sure I answer all of that comments and proofread and do any final bits. 158 00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:43,000 So, you know, my goal now is to submit at the end of March. 159 00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:46,000 And again, I've had to take another week of annual leave. 160 00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:55,000 So next week, I I've completely taken myself away from ECRI work so that I can just focus on the thesis because, 161 00:16:55,000 --> 00:17:03,000 you know, I do need to be able to get into that headspace again. And, you know, I am working a lot of evenings and I worked yesterday on it, 162 00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:10,000 but I think it's much easier to do it when you have a proper chunk of time to just focus on your PhD 163 00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:14,000 Yeah, that's what I was going to ask is how what's your plan and kind of managing your time. 164 00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:23,000 And I know I'm speaking to quite a few people who not necessarily you've kind of started a job early, you know, before they finish their PhD 165 00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:27,000 but people who've been working full time throughout and they've said that, you know, particularly in the write up stage, 166 00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:34,000 that's been the way that they've managed it the best is to kind of take a big chunk of time. 167 00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:40,000 And work exclusively on it rather than try and just do it all in evenings and weekends. 168 00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:48,000 Yeah, absolutely. And, you know, working full time, I simply don't have the time or energy and I really don't want to burn out. 169 00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:53,000 So overall, I work a lot of evenings. I can't work every evening. 170 00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:57,000 It's just not sustainable. And and, you know, my new job, I love it. 171 00:17:57,000 --> 00:18:01,000 But it does require me to work quite long hours. 172 00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:07,000 So I often actually work in the evenings on my CCRI work. So by the time I can get there, you stay. 173 00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:13,000 So, look, well, you know, it's quite late at night. So I do think for blocking out time is the best way forward. 174 00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:25,000 Really? Yeah. What was it like starting a job in a new academic department during COVID 175 00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:34,000 So it was bizarre, to say the least, because I couldn't meet anyone in person for ages. 176 00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:36,000 I have now met a few people in person. 177 00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:43,000 So we had a couple of months where I don't know if they had all these weird tiers and people were starting to go in again. 178 00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:46,000 And so I went into the office a couple of times and met people. 179 00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:54,000 But aside from that, I've I've essentially done the job for almost six months just working from home, which has been odd. 180 00:18:54,000 --> 00:18:59,000 But luckily the centre I work with a really, really lovely. 181 00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:04,000 So they have made a real effort with me. So they have like a morning coffee break. 182 00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:08,000 Twice a week just. And you can just join as you'd like. 183 00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:14,000 And it means you get to just have a chat with people. And I've had them send lots of emails. 184 00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:18,000 We even had to what sub-group where we all sort of sat running goals and things. 185 00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:24,000 So, you know, it's really helped me build some rapport. And I'm also incredibly lucky. 186 00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:32,000 I had already met a few of them, you know, in the past. So I sort of had a little bit of a rapport with them already. 187 00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:37,000 But, you know, I have other friends who started in jobs. So my friend Beth. 188 00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:42,000 She's in the same situation as me. And she hasn't been able to meet anyone. 189 00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:45,000 And I think I think it is difficult. 190 00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:53,000 But you have to just almost make that effort to just have a bit of, you know, like talk that you'd have over coffee when you're in the office. 191 00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:59,000 You always have to try and do that in meetings a little bit. People obviously really fatigued from Zoom and that 192 00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:08,000 We often have a little bit small talk before we get into the nitty gritty of it research just to help us to feel connected. 193 00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:14,000 So, yeah. But I'd say my experience has been amazing. Like, I'm incredibly lucky with that, with a sense of I've I've ended up in. 194 00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:19,000 It's really nice. Yeah. And I think the things that you're saying, I mean, because we've been I mean, 195 00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:22,000 apart from all of the different things that the difficulty is we've generally 196 00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:30,000 been in this situation for so long that actually organisations and ah and, 197 00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:36,000 you know, employees within it getting much better at kind of creating those opportunities for that more informal. 198 00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:38,000 But community building, I think. 199 00:20:38,000 --> 00:20:46,000 So, I mean, those kind of opportunities for people to talk and chat in a way that's not about work to sort of finish up. 200 00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:55,000 What advice would you give to someone who's looking at applying for kind of postdocs sort of research jobs at the moment during the pandemic? 201 00:20:55,000 --> 00:21:00,000 Is there anything that you kind of wish somebody had told you or anything you've learnt from the process that you think, 202 00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:07,000 yeah, people need to know this? Yeah, so I'd say just when you're applying. 203 00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:17,000 Just try to stay optimistic. I know it can be really difficult, especially if you have, you know, some unsuccessful applications go through it. 204 00:21:17,000 --> 00:21:20,000 It can't be quite demeaning. But just keep your chin up. 205 00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:27,000 Just keep going. And always just have confidence in yourself and your skills that you've developed in your PhD 206 00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:32,000 And I'd say also make sure that you show other people your applications and CVs 207 00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:39,000 So even if it's, you know, peers or anyone who could maybe take a look at it, you know, through a different lens and say, 208 00:21:39,000 --> 00:21:46,000 oh, actually this skill here is really useful for this criteria for looking for why haven't you suggested that? 209 00:21:46,000 --> 00:21:49,000 So, you know, I think it's really important to keep talking. 210 00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:54,000 And equally, if you're starting to feel, you know, down that you haven't got a position yet. 211 00:21:54,000 --> 00:22:01,000 Just just keep talking to people. And in the meantime, just keep developing developing yourself. 212 00:22:01,000 --> 00:22:05,000 So if there's things you could do that would both to application, for example, you know, 213 00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:14,000 completing your HEZ application or, you know, making a podcast or whatever it is that might help you to get that job. 214 00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:18,000 I would I would just, you know, keep keep trying to do that. 215 00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:29,000 And okay, so if you if you get to interview stage and I would say just be prepared, you know, have notes by the side of you, maybe have a mock interview. 216 00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:35,000 So I always ask my partner to go through some potential questions. 217 00:22:35,000 --> 00:22:41,000 And he he's not in academia. He's got you know, he wouldn't really have a clue what I'm going to be asked, 218 00:22:41,000 --> 00:22:44,000 but he knows that I'll be asked about my weaknesses and other things like that. 219 00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:49,000 So whoever it is you're living with, if you're living with anyone or have a Zoom call 220 00:22:49,000 --> 00:22:52,000 Just get people to help you, you know, practise for an interview, 221 00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:59,000 because it may be that if you've done a PhD, you may not have been interviewed in free for years. 222 00:22:59,000 --> 00:23:03,000 So it's almost like a completely new thing to go through again. 223 00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:06,000 So I think just making sure that you're really prepared for that. 224 00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:14,000 I always find reading blogs useful on how to respond to certain questions and just, you know, make sure, you know, 225 00:23:14,000 --> 00:23:22,000 the job description as well as you possibly can have your CV and stuff open during your interview so that you can have a look. 226 00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:29,000 I'd recommend printouts, though, because you don't want to be seen to be clicking about when you're in your Zoom call because it looks unprofessional. 227 00:23:29,000 --> 00:23:33,000 I'd say like taking about I wouldn't do it personally. 228 00:23:33,000 --> 00:23:38,000 I just have notes by the side of me so I can refer to those if needed. 229 00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:47,000 And aside from that, I mean, yeah, my main task is just to stay as optimistic as you can and to look after yourself while you're applying for jobs. 230 00:23:47,000 --> 00:23:53,000 Thanks so much to Charlotte for sharing her experience with me. I think it's really helpful to know. 231 00:23:53,000 --> 00:23:58,000 Actually, all of these processes are still the same and these opportunities are still out there. 232 00:23:58,000 --> 00:24:04,000 Even during COVID 19. And that's it for this episode. 233 00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:18,585 Join us next time when we'll be talking to another researcher about their career beyond their research degree.

This podcast is part of ECRI's ongoing response to the COVID-19 pandemic. In today’s episode, Marcus Schabacker, MD, PhD, President and CEO of ECRI, discusses our position paper on the fast-tracked development of COVID-19 vaccines. During recent FDA public hearings and within the paper, ECRI warns that rushing to deploy vaccines before all the data has been collected and evaluated could lead to increased risk for patients, not to mention harm to public trust in vaccines in general.

This is a special episode produced in conjunction with our colleagues in ECRI's Partnership for Health IT Patient Safety. The Partnership is working with EHRA to explore how health IT can help integrate behavioral health and primary care. This podcast is the second part of our conversation. During that first discussion, we spoke about how many Americans with behavioral health conditions receive their behavioral care from their primary care providers, but only one-third of patients with behavioral health conditions report receiving the care they need. In this episode, we'll look at what the workgroup learned about how technology can facilitate this integration, how we can use health IT to increase access to care, and whether health IT can help clinicians from various disciplines speak with one another and share information to facilitate safe, effective, quality care.

It's not rocket science and yet many hospital administrators just don't get it -- Sterile Processing departments need SUPERVISORS! AAMI ST79:2017 recommends it, ECRI makes it a point to spotlight, and the Joint Commission expects it. Plus there's something called common sense that tells us that constant interruptions of frontline staff to deal with "supervisory duties" takes these technician's minds and focus away from the detailed tasks in front of them. Supervisors are able to guard their teams from ancillary issues and enable their technicians to focus on getting the work done right and on time. Don't feel pressured by hospital leadership to make due without a department leader in SPD -- your team and your patients deserve better... #FightingDirty #HankBalch #BeyondClean #WeFightDirty™

This is a special episode produced in conjunction with our colleagues in ECRI's Partnership for Health IT Patient Safety. ​The Partnership is convening a workgroup to derive safe practices to reduce CPOE alert fatigue through monitoring, analysis, and optimization. John McGreevy, MD, University of Pennsylvania, and Adam Wright, PhD, Vanderbilt, are the collaborators co-chairing the workgroup. In this episode, we’re talking to the workgroup’s co-chairs about the burden providers face from alerts, the impact on patient safety, and how the workgroup will identify potential solutions that can be implemented in large and small organization alike.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, the need for drastic social distancing measures included banning visitors at most nursing homes throughout the U.S. in an attempt to protect some of the most vulnerable among us. That ban, however, carried with it a real emotional burden for persons served and families unable to visit their loved ones, not to mention facility staff. In this episode, we're talking about the steps involved in reopening nursing homes to visitors. As some parts of the country continue to relax distancing rules while others are forced to reinstate some rules, we talk about the considerations for opening allowing visitors and how to do so safely when the time is right. Learn more about how ECRI can help from our website at www.ecri.org, where you'll find our COVID-19 Resource Center with publicly available resources to help providers across the continuum of care, including ECRI's position paper Aging Services Visitation Guidelines in the COVID-19 Pandemic.

We all want answers to critical questions such as: How much longer will the SARS-COV-2 pandemic last? Is social distancing working? Are the tests reliable? Do any treatments work? The world is swimming in SARS-COV-2 scientific data rushed to publication even before peer review. In this episode, we're talking about some of the statistical models used to try to understand the future of the pandemic. We’ll discuss key questions both consumers and healthcare provider organizations should ask as they evaluate those models and judge how much—or how little—to rely on them.

Recent data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention shows more than 700 women die each year from childbirth-related complications in the United States—and more than half of these deaths are preventable. Another 50,000 women experience serious birth-related complications. The U.S. has the highest maternal death rate among the world's developed nations, and that rate is rising, even as it falls throughout most of the rest of the world. In the first episode of the two-part series, we're talking about strategies for preventing maternal death and injury. In particular, we'll look at ways providers should support mothers after they leave the hospital—a time that hasn't received as much attention as the time in the hospital right after delivery. Maternal health across the continuum of care ranked number 2 on ECRI's 2020 Top 10 Patient Safety Concerns, after missed and delayed diagnoses.

Whether from fear of contracting coronavirus, commitment to social distancing recommendations, hesitation to burden a stressed healthcare system—or all of the above—many people are avoiding needed medical care during the COVID-19 pandemic even in the face of potentially life-threatening emergencies. In this episode, we're talking about the need for patients to still seek and receive routine and emergency care that's not related to the pandemic, and how providers can communicate to patients to encourage that care. We’ll also discuss how to communicate changes to routine practice that patients should expect upon their arrival. Learn more about how ECRI can help from our website at www.ecri.org, where you'll find our COVID-19 Resource Center with publicly available resources to help providers across the continuum of care. ECRI members can also access sample communication scripts for physician practices to encourage patient. Interested in learning more? Contact us at (610) 825-6000 or clientservices@ecri.org.

Alarm safety has been a recognized problem in healthcare for more than a decade. A component of that is alarm fatigue—a situation when a provider, frustrated by nuisance alarms that may not be actionable, eventually starts ignoring alarms that are important and actionable. Alarm fatigue ultimately puts patient safety in jeopardy. In this episode, we'll talk about why this problem has persisted, the intersection of people and technology that can make it worse, and strategies for combatting it.

In this episode, we're talking about measuring safety culture in healthcare, particularly in light of an updated Culture of Safety Survey released by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ). The changes affect how organizations will be able to use the results of past surveys to track their own growth and how they'll be able to compare results to AHRQ's national database. We'll talk about why and how safety culture should be assessed, some common pitfalls we've seen in helping organizations do an assessment, and strategies for a successful initiative. ECRI’s Proactive Risk Assessment team works with hospitals, medical offices, ambulatory surgery centers, and nursing homes to develop surveys that not only assess safety culture, but also assess clinical and operational risks.

Learn about the work the organization has done in the past decades to promote patient safety. Also hear how ECRI continues to align healthcare, technology and analytics to create solutions for the future. Released for Patient Safety Week 2020.

In this final episode of our series, Dr. Lorraine Possanza shares the outcomes achieved by the ECRI Institute’s Patient Safety Organization Workgroups, and how their multi-stakeholder teams "ferret out" the most useful information from decades of safety data. The ECRI experts, including Janice Kaczmarek and Dr. Karen Schoelles, also look ahead to priorities for 2020, emphasizing the continued importance of shared trust.

In this episode, we're talking about COVID-19, the disease caused by a novel coronavirus that originated in the Chinese city Wuhan. Now designated a public health emergency by the World Health Organization and the U.S. Department for Health and Human Services, as of the time of this recording, the virus has been associated with tens of thousands of cases and more than two thousand deaths. We'll discuss the virus in the context of outbreak preparedness more broadly and what healthcare providers can do next. For healthcare professionals, the thought of being unprepared or under-prepared for coronavirus, or another infectious disease outbreak as the flu, is alarming. To help healthcare organizations protect workers as well as patients, ECRI has developed the COVID-19 (Coronavirus) Outbreak Preparedness Center with links to free resources and guidance from U.S. and international healthcare organizations. You can also find a case study of one hospital's emergency drill, which included more than 50 members of the local community.

Healthcare technology – whether medical devices or IT – has always had a direct connection to patient safety. In this first episode of a three-part series, Dr. Geoff Caplea (Allscripts) joins experts from  ECRI Institute to discuss how the organization was founded in 1968, and what’s changed in patient safety issues in the decades since. Featured on this episode are Dr. Karen Schoelles, Janice Kaczmarek and Dr. Lorraine Possanza.

In this episode, we’re talking about the new affiliation between ECRI Institute and the Institute for Safe Medication Practices, or ISMP. We first announced this affiliation in November 2019 and made it official in January 2020—and now we're excited to look ahead with the two organizations' leaders at the impact we can have together to improve healthcare quality and safety. ECRI President and CEO, Marcus Schabacker, MD, PhD, and ISMP President, Mike Cohen, RPh, MS, FASHP, discuss the urgent need by the healthcare industry for independent, fact-based, transparent evaluations of new technologies and treatments. As we work on integration planning, we are focused on bringing our Patient Safety Organizations together, expanding our membership offerings, as well as enhancing our educational programs in order to provide resources that make people’s jobs easier and make patients safer.

A new wave of wearable health technology includes compact, personal-use blood pressure devices, such as wrist-worn activity-tracking devices, or as small handheld devices. These products are available in the consumer market and are typically interfaced with a smartphone application. The app provides a platform to record and store blood pressure measurements and to share the data with a physician. In this episode, we'll talk about ECRI's evaluation of three wearable blood pressure monitor models, our concerns, and what consumers and providers should know. Their compact size and design could make these devices a convenient alternative to using cumbersome conventional cuff-type blood pressure monitors for taking daily measurements—but only if they perform accurately.

THE MERCURY NEWS A video allegedly posted by two UC Berkeley students in which one of them makes racist, homophobic and misogynist comments has sparked an outcry online and triggered swift condemnation from the university. The video shows a male student sitting on a bed in what appears to be a dorm room while another male asks questions off-camera. Using racial slurs and profanity-laced comments, the student claims to hate African-Americans. When the off-camera individual asks why the other student “thinks black people are so bad,” the student on the bed responds, “They’re f—–g black, do I need a reason?” The student on the bed then starts saying African-Americans, women and LGBTQ individuals shouldn’t have rights before the video abruptly ends. THE GUARDIAN Burnley Soccer Club in England have confirmed that a 13-year-old supporter was ejected from the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium following an alleged racist gesture towards Son Heung-min during a Premier League weekend blighted by a number of alleged racist and discriminatory incidents. Burnley said in a statement that the alleged abuse by the supporter, who was accompanied by a guardian at Saturday’s game, is being investigated by the Metropolitan police, assisted by Lancashire police and the two clubs. In addition, two Wolves Soccer supporters arrested for homophobic abuse at a Brighton game. CBS NEWS RICHMOND, Va. — A commission Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam tasked with researching racist laws from the state’s past recommended that dozens be repealed in order to purge the state’s books of discriminatory language. While most of the pieces of legislation are outdated and “have no legal effect,” they are still enshrined in law, the nine-member commission of attorneys, judges, scholars and community leaders wrote in an interim report. “The Commission believes that such vestiges of Virginia’s segregationist past should no longer have official status,” said the report, which urged repeal of the laws in the legislative session that starts in January. These racist laws include measures that helped enforce the state’s strategy of “Massive Resistance” to federally mandated school integration, instituted a poll tax intended to keep black Virginians from voting, mandated racially segregated transportation and prohibited interracial marriage. THE COUNCIL OF EUROPE The Council of Europe’s anti-racism body, the European Commission against Racism and Intolerance (ECRI) co-organized a round table in Skopje on 14 November 2019 to discuss the follow-up given by the authorities to the recommendations of the ECRI 2016 report on North Macedonia, including the efforts to combat hate speech in the country in the framework of good practices and European standards. The event was held in co-operation with the Ministry of Labour and Social Policy of North Macedonia and with the support of the European Union (EU) in the framework of the joint European Union and Council of Europe program “Horizontal Facility for the Western Balkans and Turkey II”. The event was opened by Ms Gjulten Mustafova, Head of the Equal Opportunity Department in the Ministry of Labour and Social Policy, who stated that the concept of equal opportunities was part of the government program and that fighting discrimination was a priority for the government and all ministries. “There is a new law on preventing discrimination and in the future, we need to focus on developing further measures for implementing it”, she said. CHANNEL NEWS ASIA Australia's airline, Qantas, said it stood ready to offer legal assistance to a member of its flight crew named in a racism accusation by Black Eyed Peas rapper will.i.am on social media.

What if the one thing standing between an endoscope and a safe outcome is the acknowledgement that antibiotics have been involved in one of the deadliest cover-ups on earth? It’s no secret that flexible endoscopes pose a safety risk. In fact, mishandled flexible endoscopes have been identified in ECRI’s Top 10 Health Technology Hazards for 2019 and have led to infectious outbreaks and death. Is sterilization of flexible endoscopes the ultimate solution or is there another option? On this week’s episode we talk to Dr. Larry Muscarella about the evolution of bacteria that has led to the need for a paradigm shift in endoscope reprocessing.

In the world of risk management, we often talk about what providers should document when they care for patients, like the details of the patient's vital signs, to ensure the patient record is complete and accurate. In this episode of Smart Healthcare Safety from ECRI Institute, we're answering recurring questions we get from members regarding other aspects of medical record maintenance—like what to do when a routine audit identifies hundreds of records that have been left unlocked by providers who no longer work for the organization. We'll discuss issues that arise especially in EHRs and steps providers and the organization need to take to protect the integrity of individual records and EHR systems as a whole. Members of ECRI are able to ask our experts a variety of questions, like the ones we discussed in today's episode or a recent request for advice in developing policy to ensure continuity of care when a provider leaves a practice.

In this episode of Smart Healthcare Safety from ECRI Institute, we're talking with two ECRI Institute experts about patient violence in healthcare. Patient violence is a problem that sits at the intersection of worker and patient safety, potentially affecting anyone who works in, is treated in, or visits a healthcare facility. The issue is enough of a concern that it has appeared on ECRI’s Top 10 Patient Safety Concerns list every year from 2014 to 2018.  Today, we'll look at what we know about the prevalence of violent acts committed by patients, some of the organizational and individual risk factors, and what organizations can do to equip their staff to reduce that risk and respond if violent incidents occur.
