Podcasts about improve patient safety

Jeff Surges, CEO of RLDatix, offers global cloud-based solutions for risk management, compliance management, and regulatory management in healthcare. To address patient safety, Jeff emphasizes the need for a collaborative workforce, data analytics, and AI. RLDatix uses technology to automate information gathering, facilitate incident reporting, and analyze data to determine proactive actions to prevent incidents and improve safety.  Jeff explains, "The simplest analogy when I get asked this is: how does this relate to other industries? We all fly in airplanes, and we've seen in the airline industry most recently with doors coming off, the emergency exit doors, close calls, or what we'll call incidents where you need to look at the root cause. The key difference is if a plane goes down, as tragic as that is, the pilots and the crew go down. But in healthcare, if there's an incident or a procedure or an event that has occurred, it's likely only affecting the patient and the patient's family. That's not meant to say that people don't care, everybody cares, but it doesn't affect the entire circumference. What we try to do is make it automated, make it easy to use, engage with what we call a culture of safety, which starts at the very highest level, and then using data analytics, now, generative AI." "For 20 years, an article written in our industry called To Err Is Human kicked off the energy around improving patient safety. I think the first phase of that for over ten years, 15 years, was just documenting the event after it happened. Let's document. Let's run around and automate, document, and report on it." "Today, that's no longer the case. All of our customers and our industry want to prevent this. We use terms like highly reliable- I want to be an HRO, a highly reliable organization. We're competing on safety. Everybody wants to go to the safest place for care. We're trying to use data and analytics to both prevent and gain the insights to make sure that we can continue that not just one time. The data is telling us there are some decisions we can make in our policies and our procedures, in our staffing levels, and in our credentialing of staff to make sure that we can continue. So, going from reactive to proactive risk mitigation."  #RLDatix #ConnectedHealthcareOperations #PatientSafety #HealthTech #AI rldatix.com Download the transcript here

We are LIVE at the Society for Cardiovascular Angiography & Intervention, or SCAI, Conference in Phoenix, Arizona learning about physicians and medical device makers are trying to make procedures safer and improve patient outcomes. One of the technologies we discuss on this episode is an Intravascular Ultrasound, or IVUS, which is an imaging technique that uses a transducer to generate sound waves to produce pictures of the inside of blood vessels. Physicians are mainly using this device during angiograms for diagnostic and treatment of coronary artery disease and peripheral artery disease. Guests include David Chalyan, Director of Evidence Transformation and Medical Safety Officer at Philips IGT-Devices and Royal Philips Chief Safety Officer Steve C de Baca.

It takes a village to raise a child, but it took an integrated, multi-discipled team approach to improve patient safety indicators (PSIs) at ChristianaCare – as you'll learn more about on Tuesday, Oct. 18, during the next live edition of Talk Ten Tuesdays, the popular, long-running Internet radio program produced by ICD10monitor.In cooperation with ChristianaCare, Talk Ten Tuesdays and ICD10monitor are beginning a new series on PSIs, with specific focus on how a team approach is helping physicians avoid unwittingly triggering such issues through their documentation. Reporting the lead story will be Varadarajan Subbiah, MD, MBA, FACP, Vice President of Utilization Management and Quality for ChristianaCare, a major nonprofit teaching hospital system headquartered in Wilmington, Delaware. You will hear Dr. Subbiah report that their analysis concluded that documentation and coding represent among the biggest opportunities for improvement, and that externally reported ranking programs and the associated financial penalties served as their catalyst for change.   Other segments during the live broadcast will include the following:E&M Update: Senior healthcare consultant Colleen Deighan Ejak with 3M Health will continue her series on the updates to evaluation and management (E&M) codes for 2023;Coding Report: Laurie Johnson, senior healthcare consultant with Revenue Cycle Solutions, LLC, will report on the latest coding news;News Desk: Timothy Powell, CPA will anchor the Talk Ten Tuesdays News Desk; andTalkBack: Erica Remer,MD, founder and president of Erica Remer, MD, Inc., and Talk Ten Tuesdays co-host, will report on a subject that has caught her attention during her popular segment.

Guest:  Dr. Kannan Ramar, Patient Safety Officer and Consultant in Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine, Mayo Clinic Guest:  Dr. Kiril Lipatov, Resident, Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine, Mayo Clinic Host: Timothy Morgenthaler, M.D. @DrTimMorg Artificial Intelligence holds the potential to be a game changer in patient safety.  So many of the historical processes to capture, track and analyze data can be automated to perform these tasks so they are no longer human dependent to complete.  AI science can mimic or do even a better job of human reasoning and analysis and can be harnessed in a way to bring new meaning to healthcare delivery.  The podcast explores one example of implementing AI to improve patient safety by developing a method to provide prospective risk analysis using data from the EHR. In particular, using this data is helping Mayo Clinic to improve the prevention of pressure injuries in hospitalized patients.

In this episode of This Week in Health Tech, Vik and Jimmy discuss healthcare systems monitoring and integration. In today's healthcare, we are still dependant on users to identify and report system issues. This is a big patient safety issue. Vik explains the issue in detail using an example. Patient arrives in emergency department, and based on the patient state, physician orders few different tests. In this case, physician orders lab, cardiology, and radiology tests. Lab and Cardio tests are processed successfully, and are visible to the users in those respective departments. PACS system however is experiencing some issue, and even though the order messages were received successfully through the interface, the orders still did not show up in the PACS system. So after close to an hour, the emergency department calls up radiology to find out the status of the tests and when the procedure will be done. This is when PACS admin or user realizes that there might be an issue and they will contact IT department or open a task using online task reporting system. This is when the IT help desk contact integration analyst to look into the issue, but this example show the reliance on manual intervention to find system issues is very risky and could lead to adverse patient events.This is where end to end systems monitoring comes into place. If the health system did have end to end systems monitoring in place, the active monitoring would have detected the exact location of the fault and cut down time to find and diagnose system issues. Plus it prevents reliance on users to report issue. With digital transformation number of systems and applications will continue to increase, and CIOs-CMIOS should really consider active monitoring to improve patient safety and prevent unscheduled downtimes. It is about being active instead of being reactive when dealing w/ system issues.Also, with Tido's Systems end to end monitoring, it does not stop at flagging and diagnosing the issue, but there is also well defined notifications mechanism to alert the appropriate staff members of a system issue. Jimmy asks the question, why health systems have not considered this until now? Vik explains that EHR and more electronic systems have been implemented everywhere only in the last 10-15 years. Plus applications have matured and reliance on electronic systems in health systems has increased and it will continue to increase. So it is the right timing now to implement active end to end systems monitoring. Vik then explains the end to end systems monitoring architecture and software: how it works with interface engine and EHR and downstream systems. There is also significant ROI from using automated end to end systems monitoring. All the time saved by staff members not spending their time dealing with system issues and instead of focusing on patient care is huge savings for a health system. Plus it improves patient outcomes.

Did you ask about thrombolysis? We are here to deliver anxiolysis! In this second of a two-part episode of 2021, we discuss "crisis resource management" (CRM) in acute stroke - a cognitive, mindfulness, and non-technical framework for optimizing clinical performance and working in high-performing teams. CRM is a tool to master four operational domains: that of the self, teamwork, our working environment, and of course, (care for) our patient. Using CRM principles helps make us better clinicians, work more effectively in teams, and maintain a calm sense of vigilance. We re-introduce the concept of a "zero point survey" (Reid et al. 2018) as a starting point before coming on-call for a code stroke and as a tool for better self-awareness and performance. High-performing teams support good clinical outcomes at the resuscitation phase and apply to all subsequent patient care settings. Central to a high-performing team are principles of CRM and their timely application to stroke care. We review our paper in Neurocritical Care titled: "Crisis Resource Management and High-Performing Teams in Hyperacute Stroke Care" with three of the authors: Rajendram, Notario, Khosravani - In this episode we conclude this talk on "how to be a bad-a$$ stroke" resus doc!

Whats Volvo got to do with Patient Safety you might say? They manufacture cars!  All will be revealed in the final 3 part series with Ian Binks  - Why digitising care is so important.  We discuss core components of  DCB 0160 and DCB 0129 from both sides of the fence - the software developer and the health organisation to expose the challenges and propose solutions to ensure Patient's Health Outcomes are not compromised as a result of new technology. Embedding a 'Patient Safety' culture requires an organisation to make it the number 1 priority for all staff directly and supplying solutions into Health and Social Care from C-Level Exec, Managers, Care Team, IT Dept, Admin, Sales to the receptionist.  Thanks Ian for another great show - Enjoy

Dr Jenny Vaughan has been Consultant Neurologist for 14 years (NW London Hospitals NHS Trust and Imperial College Healthcare NHS trust). Jenny was the medical lead for the successful over-turning of the conviction of Surgeon Mr David Sellu for gross negligence manslaughter in 2013. Jenny have conducted multiple interviews on mainstream media in recent weeks vocalising the concerns of the whole profession with respect to medical manslaughter (1). Jenny has published widely-read articles on this subject2. Jenny has been an invited speaker at multiple events on gross negligence manslaughter, including the RCP annual conference last year. Jenny has conducted surveys 3 for the last three years in order to understand the impact of the criminal law on healthcare, especially after the conviction and erasure of Dr Hadiza Bawa-Garba. These surveys have informed law-makers, politicians, the media, the BMA, the royal colleges and the medical profession in general. Jenny co-founded the only UK online resource for anyone to access who wishes to know more about the charges of gross negligence manslaughter in healthcare. Jenny co-organised the first joint medicolegal meeting on manslaughter and avoidable harm in Holborn 2015  www.manslaughterandhealthcare.org.uk)4. Jenny’s work in bringing those in the field together was published and recently cited editorially in the BMJ 5-6. This year the medico-legal team won crime team of the year at The Modern Law Awards7. Jenny has become a leading voice of the medical profession on this subject. She gave oral and written submissions to the Williams review as her intention is to work with others to continuously improve patient safety (8). She contributes regularly on this subject to leading journals (9) and is currently assisting the Marx review into  how manslaughter by gross negligence is applied to medical practice. 1.http://www.manslaughterandhealthcare.org.uk/2018/02/20/media-coverage-of-medical-manslaughter/ 2.http://www.manslaughterandhealthcare.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/Jenny-Vaughan-RCS-Bulletin-article-February-2016.pdf 3. https://www.surveymonkey.co.uk/r/DY6VYSM 4. http://www.manslaughterandhealthcare.org.uk/2018/02/20/events/ 5. . http://www.bmj.com/content/360/bmj.k479 6. http://blogs.bmj.com/bmj/2018/03/20/the-case-of-david-sellu-a-criminal-court-is-not-the-right-place-to-determine-blame-in-complex-clinical-cases/ 7. https://www.gardencourtchambers.co.uk/congratulations-to-david-sellu-appeal-team/ 8.https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/717946/Williams_Report.pdf 9. https://blogs.bmj.com/bmj/2018/06/21/jenny-vaughan-the-williams-review-a-significant-step-forward-for-all/

I've long been appreciative of the work that Toyota does, through their non-profit TSSC subsidiary, to help non-profits and community organizations improve. The latest example of that is some work done at Children's Health in my other backyard, in Dallas: "Children's Health Joins Forces with Toyota to Improve Patient Safety and Quality of Care" As it says in the release: "Through a collaboration with Toyota, Children's HealthSM, the leading pediatric health system in North Texas, announced today it has successfully reduced rates of central line-associated blood stream infections (CLABSIs) by 75 percent with patients in the gastroenterology unit." --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/lean-blog-audio/support

Why has it been so difficult to create a healthcare system that can prevent medical harm? As a recent report from the Consumers Union stated, “There have been countless task forces, conferences, editorials, and even episodes of Oprah focused on patient safety. But action...has been sluggish, leaving us without reliable means to track our progress or hold the local healthcare systems accountable for ending preventable patient harm.”
