Podcasts about medical errors

Dr. Hoffman continues his conversation with Dr. Julie Siemers, a nurse educator and author of “Surviving Your Hospital Stay: A Nurse Educator's Guide to Staying Safe and Living to Tell About It.” 

Dr. Julie Siemers, a nurse educator and author of “Surviving Your Hospital Stay: A Nurse Educator's Guide to Staying Safe and Living to Tell About It,” details the importance of patient safety in hospitals, the dangers of medical errors, and how patients and their families can advocate for better care. Dr. Siemers talks about the critical role of nurses, the hierarchy within the nursing profession, and the importance of effective communication between healthcare providers and patients. She also offers practical advice on dealing with high-risk medications, leveraging AI in healthcare, and ensuring better health outcomes by being informed and proactive.

Medical errors rank as the third leading cause of death in the United States, following heart disease and cancer. These preventable mistakes, including misdiagnoses, medication errors, and communication breakdowns, contribute to a significant number of fatalities annually. Understanding these risks and actively participating in one's healthcare is crucial and can be a matter of life and death. The Reality of Medical Errors Julie Siemers, a nurse with over forty years of healthcare experience, gained firsthand insight into medical errors when her parents were in an airplane accident and she had to advocate for their care from a distance. This personal experience, along with her nursing background, inspired her to pursue advanced degrees focusing on patient safety. Her research revealed that despite growing awareness, medical errors remain a persistent problem. Understanding and  Preventing Errors Hospital safety varies considerably, and it's important to know that hospitals receive safety grades based on patient outcomes and risk factors. Websites like hospitalsafetygrade.org allow individuals to check these ratings, which range from A to F and assess 22 safety categories, including preventable blood clots and post-surgical complications.  Early warning signs of medical distress often appear hours before a major event occurs. Physiological indicators of deterioration can be evident 6 to 24 hours before a crisis. Family members can play a critical role by observing behavioral or neurological changes that healthcare providers might miss.  For example, a stroke patient with a feeding tube should never have their bed laid flat due to the increased risk of aspiration pneumonia. Medical misdiagnoses are more common than many realize, with studies suggesting that 33% of emergency room diagnoses are either incorrect or missed.. It is essential for patients to always follow up on test results and seek second opinions, especially for significant diagnoses. While individual errors happen, many medical errors are due to systemic failures. The case of nurse RaDonda Vaught, who administered the wrong medication due to hospital system flaws, illustrates this. Investigations uncovered multiple hospital errors, including malfunctioning medication cabinets that bypassed safety measures. Alarmingly, communication breakdowns, whether between healthcare providers or between medical teams and patients, contribute to 70% of patient harm cases.  Informed patients tend to have better outcomes. The case of a man with undiagnosed sleep apnea who died from respiratory depression after being given opioids post-surgery highlights the importance of knowing one's medical history and potential drug interactions. Patients should question, research, and advocate for their well-being. Wrong-site surgeries, although seemingly unthinkable, occur about 20 times per week in the U.S.. Patients should actively confirm the correct procedure with their surgeons before entering the operating room. Artificial intelligence (AI) is being implemented in medical diagnostics, particularly in radiology, to improve diagnostic accuracy by identifying abnormalities.  However, AI is not infallible and can produce errors, making human oversight essential. Clear communication is a fundamental way to prevent medical errors. Family members should attend doctor visits, take notes, and ask clarifying questions. The “3 P's” approach can be helpful: Be Present during key discussions and hospital rounds. Be Polite, as healthcare interactions can be stressful for both parties. Be Persistent if concerns are not addressed, escalating to higher authorities if necessary. Discussing wishes with family and completing legal documents like power of attorney can ensure personal healthcare decisions are respected. The healthcare system faces challenges with a nursing shortage and declining competency levels, which can impact patient safety. Studies have shown a decrease in the percentage of new nurses deemed practice-ready. High patient loads and burnout contribute to nurses leaving the profession. Taking Control of Your Healthcare Like a ship captain navigating a journey, the doctor provides the map, but the patient ultimately steers the course. Building a network of informed individuals can empower patients to make the best choices for their health and longevity. The reality of medical errors as the third leading cause of death underscores that staying informed and advocating for oneself in the healthcare system is not just important—it's lifesaving. In this podcast, you will learn... Why medical errors are the third leading cause of death The importance of being proactive in your healthcare Strategies for effective communication with healthcare providers How hospital safety ratings can inform your choices Key warning signs to watch for in a patient's condition The role of systemic issues in contributing to medical errors EPISODE RESOURCES: Website Instagram  Facebook LinkedIn YouTube Tik Tok

FH is a 66-year-old woman who comes in for an urgent visit because she has been feeling woozy for two days. She is very anxious, almost distraught, because she thinks these symptoms are the same as the ones that her sister had before she died of a hemorrhagic stroke.Sensible Medicine is a reader-supported publication. If you appreciate our work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.A few years ago, a team building exercise was proposed at a meeting I was attending. To say I hate team building exercises is a gross understatement. I usually run for the door when these are suggested. On this day, I was too slow. For the exercise, I sat back-to-back with a partner who looked at a picture projected onto a screen. I could not see the picture. He described the image, and I had to draw what he described. After 5 minutes, I shared my drawing, and we discussed what worked and what didn't.Recently, I was at the Art Institute of Chicago, one of my favorite places on Earth, preparing to help lead a group of medical students around the museum. Our guide described a similar exercise while looking at a painting of a woman in mourning. Because my mind was on medicine, it struck me how similar this exercise is to what I do in clinic.All diagnostic inquiries start with a patient experiencing a symptom. The symptom is a kind of platonic truth. What can make the search for an accurate diagnosis difficult is that a doctor seldom really has access to this truth. The doctor does not see or feel the symptom. Instead, the patient is asked to translate a sensation into language. Sometimes, the patient's linguistic abilities are inadequate for describing the symptoms. Sometimes, our language itself is not up to the task.Often there are issues working against the patient accurately describing his or her symptoms. The patient is anxious, in pain, exaggerating or minimizing symptoms, being rushed, or distracted.No one can say if a patient is poorly describing his or her symptoms; that would be like telling someone that their description of red is incorrect.FH describes her symptoms as wooziness. The doctor seeing her, Dr. S, not having a differential diagnosis for wooziness, asks her, “What do you mean woozy. FH says, “I feel floaty, foggy, out of it, off kilter.” FH is already getting a little exasperated. She is worried she might be having a fatal stroke.To make a diagnosis, a doctor must characterize the concern, translating the patient's words into a symptom with an established differential diagnosis and an associated diagnostic approach. This is where many diagnostic errors occur. This might happen if the doctor is not listening. But it also might happen if the doctor mischaracterizes what the patient is feeling because of how the patient reports the symptom. When that happens, the doctor begins evaluating a symptom that is not actually present.The approach to the dizzy patient should begin with the doctor asking, “What do you mean dizzy?” and then just sitting quietly while the patient describes the dizziness. This question is supposed to force the patient to characterize the dizziness as vertigo, orthostasis, disequilibrium, or non-specific dizziness. When Dr. S asked, “What do you mean by woozy?” she had decided that woozy meant dizzy and proceeded as if FH had complained of dizziness.The clinical interchange has just started and already the patient has translated her symptom into language and Dr. S has translated that into a medically useful symptom.After hearing wooziness described as “floaty, foggy, out of it, off kilter,” Dr. S. had had it with open ended questions. “When you feel woozy, does it feel like the room is spinning? Or does it feel like you are going to faint, you know like when your vision grays out? Or do you feel off balance, kind of drunk.”FH answered, “Yes.”At this point, we have a patient who is terribly worried about her condition and a doctor who is likely reconsidering her decision to come to work today.In my experience, this juncture is not uncommon. A patient is having symptoms that need to be addressed. The way these symptoms are being presented linguistically is not leading the doctor to a familiar, workable symptom. Dr. S has tried to shoehorn woozy into the diagnostic rubric for dizzy and, not surprisingly, has gotten nowhere.OK, tell me exactly what you were doing when you first got woozy?” asks Dr. S.“I had just woken up. I rolled from my left side to my right to grab my phone to check the time and then I just about lost it. I mean really lost it. I was woozy AND nauseated.”Dr. S. got really lucky. Although her interpretation of woozy as dizzy failed in her first two questions, she stuck with it with one more question. She hit on a suggestive answer, something that sounds like benign, paroxysmal, positional vertigo, BPPV. She performs the Dix Hallpike Maneuver and FH screams out. She has the most striking rotatory nystagmus Dr. S has ever seen.“Are you feeling the wooziness?”“Yes, this is exactly the sensation.”At this point, the symptom has become a visible, objective sign.What to take from all this? We always need to remember that reported symptoms are translations, one step removed from what is bringing a patient in. Unless you are lucky enough to be a dermatologist, when you can actually look at the problem, seeds for medical errors are sown as soon as a patient describes, translates, his or her symptom. The less specific the symptom, the more likely it is that the doctor will proceed down the wrong path. Acute onset pain at the base of the great toe might be reported as aching, burning, or searing, but you're likely to end up thinking about gout.Fatigue, on the other hand, might be describing tired, or weak, or sleepy, or short of breath. The differential diagnoses for those four translations probably includes every known diagnosis. This is a public episode.

In Episode 47, Mark Graban and Jamie Flinchbaugh attempt another experiment in format, covering a range of quick-hit topics in the news rather than a single deep dive. As always, we welcome feedback. Before we got to that, however, our whiskey theme was also new, or new to us: we each picked a whiskey we hadn't tried before. Jamie's pick was Four Walls Irish American Whiskey, a celebrity whiskey from a group of stars from It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, including Rob McElhenney, who famously co-owns Wrexham AFC, a 3rd tier football club in the UK, along with Ryan Reynolds. Mark's pick was inspired by his My Favorite Mistake podcast with the founder of Jeptha Creed with their Bloody Butcher's Creed 4 Grain Bourbon Whiskey, made from Bloody Butcher red heirloom corn grown on their own farm.  In the news, we covered four topics. First was Kentucky's decision to decriminalize medical errors, which allows healthcare providers to focus on providing care the best method possible and not going to jail just for a mistake, lessons from the RaDonda Vaught case in Tennessee. Next, while not really news, we discussed Jamie's Forbes article about Hanlon's Razor, including what a razor is, what it has to do with the lean principle of Respect for People, and how it can help choose a more productive path of action. Third we explore the Labor Notes' article declaring the end of lean production. Of course, we disagree, although both motivation and validly bad lean practices both contribute to their perspectives. Finally, we cover a Wall Street Journal article titled The Jiggle Is Up, about how companies are defeating attempts to manipulate work with mouse jigglers. There is so much wrong here, from culture to process to metrics, that we start to unpack.  We finally end, with July being so hot seemingly everywhere, with our favorite summer refreshing non-whiskey cocktails. But, you'll have to either listen to or skip to the end of hear our choices.  Jamie's pick: Four Walls Irish American Whiskey Mark's pick: Jeptha Creed Bloody Butcher's Creed 4 Grain Bourbon Whiskey My Favorite Mistake podcast featuring Jeptha Creed founder

Episode 160: Artificial Intelligence in Primary Care.      Future Dr. Manophinives explains the present and future of AI in diagnosing and treating diseases.    Written by Rosalynn Manophinives, MS-IV, American University of the Caribbean. Editing by Hector Arreaza, MD.You are listening to Rio Bravo qWeek Podcast, your weekly dose of knowledge brought to you by the Rio Bravo Family Medicine Residency Program from Bakersfield, California, a UCLA-affiliated program sponsored by Clinica Sierra Vista, Let Us Be Your Healthcare Home. This podcast was created for educational purposes only. Visit your primary care provider for additional medical advice.Today, we embark on an intriguing journey at the crossroads of technology and healthcare: The Future of Healthcare in Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML). Let's start by establishing the groundwork for AI and ML. Artificial Intelligence involves machines mirroring cognitive functions like learning and problem-solving, while machine learning empowers machines to learn from data and refine their capabilities over time. In healthcare, these technologies aim to elevate diagnostic precision and treatment effectiveness which are pivotal aspects in primary care medicine.Accurate diagnosis is the cornerstone of effective patient care in all forms of medicine because an accurate diagnosis guides treatment decisions and influences patient outcomes. This is why the integration of AI and ML holds immense promise in this field.Section 1: AI in Diagnostic Assistance (4 mins)Let's explore how AI utilizes algorithms to analyze extensive datasets, enhancing diagnostic accuracy significantly.AI serves as a revolutionary force in analyzing a large amount of data, particularly in medical imaging. Imagine AI algorithms as super brains, employing machine learning to decipher intricate details from X-rays, MRIs, and CT scans. Notably, studies have demonstrated their precision matching and even surpassing that of human experts. For instance, research published in the Journal of the American Medical Association revealed AI algorithms outperforming radiologists in detecting conditions like breast cancer.AI's skills extend beyond images. It digs into genetic information, medical history, and treatment outcomes, acting as a detective to spot patterns, predict responses, and customize interventions. Studies support this, showcasing AI models outperforming dermatologists in diagnosing skin cancer from images. Will AI replace doctors?The beauty of AI is that it does not replace doctors but acts as a super investigator in your healthcare corner, expediting diagnoses, and refining treatments. So, AI isn't merely accelerating processes; it's enhancing healthcare outcomes, making diagnoses quicker, and treatments more precise, and minimizing errors. The future appears very promising with AI leading the way to more precise and tailored healthcare.Section 2: Case Studies in Diagnosis (4 mins):Help in research: Let's delve into real-life examples of AI in action, further amplifying diagnostic accuracy. In a research study, Rajkomar and collaborators crafted an AI algorithm predicting patient deterioration within hours, leveraging electronic health record data. This tool allowed for proactive care, identifying potential issues before they escalated. Taking it up a notch, Aliper and collaborators compared AI to human researchers, resulting in AI outsmarting human brains in designing drugs targeting age-related diseases. These experiments underscore AI's potential in diagnostics, from catching issues early to designing groundbreaking drugs.AI here enhances doctors' capabilities and acts as an additional set of eyes, boosting their superpowers, spotting nuances, and proposing game-changing solutions in medicine.Section 3: AI in Risk Prediction (4 mins):Let's shift our focus to AI's role in predicting risks and prognosis, particularly in conditions like COPD.AI employs sophisticated algorithms to analyze patient data comprehensively, including demographics, hospital visits, diagnoses, prescribed medications, and lab results. In COPD, AI not only predicts mortality but also anticipates hospital readmissions for respiratory issues or flare-ups. By scrutinizing various markers, AI resembles Sherlock Holmes, unraveling clues within data.And AI doesn't stop there, AI integrates risk predictions into medical practices, which fosters personalized care tailored to individual risk factors. A study led by Choi and their team analyzed retrospective patient data and they were able to identify individuals at risk of undiagnosed COPD, emphasizing the significance of catching potential issues early, finding those who might slip through the cracks otherwise, which is huge! Section 4: AI in Treatment Planning (4 mins):Let's now explore how AI is revolutionizing treatment planning within medicine.AI, equipped with machine learning algorithms, tailors treatments by analyzing patient-specific data and medical history. In cancer, for example, AI analyzes biopsy images and quantifies biomarkers, facilitating personalized treatments. Beyond cancer, AI extends its reach to cell therapies, predicting their effectiveness through genomic information and drug responses.And here's the techie part: AI employs various smart algorithms like Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) and Recurrent Neural Networks (RNN) to provide personalized treatment recommendations. It's like having personalized treatment recommendations by experts that fit you like a glove, catering to individual needs. Section 5: Fuzzy Cognitive Maps and Reduction of Medical Errors (4 mins):Lastly, let me tell you about the impact of AI-driven treatment planning, specifically in reducing medical errors. Imagine this—medical decisions? They're tough. Sifting through tons of data, inaccessible medical records, physicians' lack of experience, and loads of conflicting info, makes the decision often not crystal clear. This is where a high percentage of medical errors occur, which is where Fuzzy Cognitive Maps (FCMs) come in.  FCMs are like a super-smart tool that mimics human reasoning, tackling the messiness of medical data with grace.FCMs are all about modeling complex systems, by combining fuzzy logic and neural networks, just like our brain does—connecting the dots between concepts and their cause-and-effect relationships. From patient records to test results, they make sense of it all.And FCM is not just theory—FCMs are the real deal and they're not the newbies in town; they've been around for a while, evolving from their early days. They've proven their worth in various medical areas too – in radiotherapy planning, diagnosing language impairments, and even in grading tumors!So, in a nutshell, FCMs are useful tools for medical decision support by taking on the complexities of diagnosing and treatment planning.Closing:In conclusion, the integration of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning in healthcare is a thrilling frontier, offering invaluable tools to enhance diagnostic accuracy and patient outcomes. As we evolve, responsible use of these advances is paramount, ensuring they optimize rather than replace the indispensable human touch in healthcare.Thank you for joining me in exploring the future of healthcare in AI and Machine Learning. I trust this discussion has sparked curiosity and appreciation for the transformative potential of technology in healthcare. -----------------------------------Conclusion: Now we conclude episode number 160, “Artificial Intelligence in Primary Care.” This is a new and somewhat unknown field of medicine that is rapidly evolving these days. Future Dr. Manophinives explained that AI and ML can be a useful tool in the diagnosis of diseases by, for example, interpreting images accurately. AI also can help develop plans of care by interpreting large amounts of complex data and predicting trends, possible complications, and the effectiveness of multiple treatments. Keep your eyes and mind wide open to learn more about this advancing technology that will continue to support our efforts to bring health and well-being to our communities.This week we thank Hector Arreaza and Rosalynn Manophinives.

On episode 448 of The Nurse Keith Show nursing and healthcare career podcast, Keith interviews Rebecca Dodmead, MSN, Ed, a highly experienced critical care nurse and educator who experienced a life-changing and life-threatening injury during a routine surgery. In the course of their conversation, Keith and Becca dive deep into how normalized deviance and knowledge gaps put patients at great risk of otherwise wholly preventable errors and harm. Rebecca Dodmead has an extensive background in critical care and the ED. As an educator, she has served as both an adjunct college nursing instructor and hospital educator. Rebecca sustained a preventable injury during what was hoped to be a routine laparoscopic hysterectomy. This unfortunate event — the result of normalized deviance, significant knowledge gaps, and delays in care — found Becca navigating life with a colostomy, a wound vac, pleural effusions, a subsequent divert ileostomy, and other life-changing obstacles. In light of what happened to her, Becca wants to use this experience to educate nurses and prevent it from happening to anyone else. Becca has also founded Artisans for Good, a nonprofit that she hopes to use as a vehicle to help others navigating serious illness. Becca is proud to be a student in the inaugural class of Doctorate of Nursing Education at Ohio State University, with the expectation of graduating in May of 2025.

Unfortunately, due to the medical errors epidemic in health care, prior to the Covid epidemic, medical errors constituted the third greatest cause of death. Dr. Kayur Patel describes what's wrong and how it can be changed. He is Chief Medical Officer of Proactive MD, a healthcare model that serves many U.S. healthcare institutions, He acknowledges that existing statistics represent an underreporting of medical errors. Pat commented for example, for a long time, nurses who reported a certain number of medication errors were fired. This dramatic example of why they wouldn't report these errors underscores a culture of denial common to most healthcare settings. The solution, Dr. Patel feels, is, first, to recognize that systemic errors, those that result from a flawed system rather than individual human errors. The second step is to create an ecosystem that from the top down generates safety within that system. The third is to develop a simplified systemic approach that identifies the causes of medical errors that's based on eight major categories. This approach makes it easier to identify causation. Adopting this method of investigation also helps an expert witness to identify sources of errors more easily. As both a clinician and an LNC, you will appreciate learning about what the medical system is doing to restructure its culture. Be sure to check out this invaluable podcast.
