Dare to Be Ready with Dr. Chris Roussin, founder of CMS-ALPS, the Center for Medical Simulation's team and organization readiness consulting service. In this podcast, available on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and in video form on Youtube, Chris will meet with a series of guests with specific readiness challenges in their healthcare teams. Each week we will approach the challenge of how to get teams ready for the difficult work they face every day, and work through how we can get our people and teams ready to face that challenge. Join us monthly and Dare to Be Ready! ----------- Episode 1: Ready to Help “Safe” Patients with Diabetes in the ER Dr. Marie McDonnell is an Endocrinologist and Director of Diabetes at the Brigham and Women's Hospital, joins us to discuss her team's readiness challenges around training with the Emergency Room to connect triaged emergency care with diabetes specialty care. Readiness Challenges: The care teams in the Emergency Room are ready and skilled in treating patients with diabetes who come in very sick and need to be admitted to the hospital. However, the Emergency Room also experiences a very high volume of diabetes recidivism, patients with diabetes who are stabilized and able to be discharged but then return later with the same issue presenting again. This is compounded by the fact that 50% of diabetes patients in the ER arrive between 5 PM and 9 AM because they could not contact their normal endocrinology care teams. Today we work on a readiness plan to help ER teams better connect into the big system of diabetes care within the hospital so that patients who are “safe” get connected with specialists who can solve the underlying diabetes self-care issues that brought them to the ER, so that they don't end up back in the ER later that day. -------------- Host & Co-Producer: Chris Roussin, PhD, Senior Director, CMS-ALPS (https://harvardmedsim.org/chris-roussin/) Producer: James Lipshaw, MFA, EdM, Assistant Director, Media (https://harvardmedsim.org/james-lipshaw/) Consulting and readiness with CMS-ALPS: https://harvardmedsim.org/alps-applied-learning-for-performance-and-safety Dare to Be Ready on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/72gzzWGegiXd9i2G6UJ0kP Dare to Be Ready on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-center-for-medical-simulation/id1279266822

In decades of faculty and clinician training at the Center for Medical Simulation, we've identified one element of our approach to Good Judgment learning conversations that people have the most difficulty with. This obstacle can take what should be an insightful, curious inquiry and leave it with a defensive or confused learner. Similar effects happen in negotiations at point of care and feedback conversations. The greatest obstacle is this: clearly and transparently sharing what you think about the situation. There are many reasons why we struggle with this, from thinking that if we share what we believe, it will be too harsh or too threatening for the other person, to believing that sharing our point of view will be used against us and that it would be safer to try to unilaterally steer the discussion without it. In this week's workout, you'll be challenged to try sharing your underlying point of view in a situation where that feels vulnerable to you.

Send us a textLou Oberndorf's vision transformed healthcare education forever. As founder of Medical Education Technologies (METI), he brought simulation technology from aerospace into medical training when educators were still relying on centuries-old teaching methods. "Medicine has been practicing on us for a thousand years and we're done with it," Lou explains, capturing the revolutionary spirit that drove his pioneering work.What makes Oberndorf's story fascinating isn't just the technology he championed, but his crucial insight that curriculum development—not just hardware—would determine simulation's success. When nursing educators struggled to integrate these new tools, METI took on the ambitious project of reconstructing entire nursing curricula around simulation opportunities. This comprehensive approach dramatically accelerated adoption across healthcare education, elevating nursing to become a full partner alongside medical schools in simulation-based training.The journey wasn't without surprises. Oberndorf candidly shares his shock at healthcare's initial resistance to innovation and the delicate balance required between advancing technology and allowing time for meaningful adoption. His current work with Operative Experience continues his lifelong quest for anatomical fidelity—creating simulators that truly look, feel, and respond like human patients for trauma and combat medicine training.Looking toward the future, Oberndorf believes artificial intelligence will transform every aspect of healthcare simulation while maintaining that hands-on experience remains irreplaceable. His legacy extends beyond the technology itself to the creation of an entire industry and career path for simulation educators who once risked being labeled "career killers" for their forward-thinking approach.Ready to explore how simulation can transform your healthcare education program?

“Nurses have a lot of answers. We're problem solvers. We're innovators,” says Dr. Sarah Szanton, who is a case in point for using her experience doing home visits as a nurse practitioner to help pioneer an innovative model of elder care called CAPABLE. It's a four-month long program in which a nurse, occupational therapist and handy worker address difficulties an older adult may have in daily living as well as the safety issues in their home so they are able to age in place while achieving the best possible health status and quality of life. So far, it has served 10,000 people in twenty-three states, and efforts are underway to scale the model as broadly as possible to meet the needs of the country's burgeoning senior population. “If the CAPABLE program were a drug, it would be a blockbuster. It cuts disability in half and saves seven times what it costs,” she explains. As you'll learn in this informative conversation with our new Raise the Line host Caleb Furnas, Dr. Szanton is in a position to shape healthcare delivery far beyond elder care in her role as dean of the Johns Hopkins School of Nursing. Tune in to learn about a community healthcare model being developed based on work in Costa Rica, and how the school deploys simulation technologies to hone difficult skills and develop empathy for both patients and fellow providers.Mentioned in this episode: Johns Hopkins School of NursingCAPABLE

In this episode, Dr. Veronica Lerner joins Drs. Amy Park and Mark Hoffman at the mic to shed light on simulation in gynecologic surgery. --- SHOW NOTES Dr. Lerner is an Associate Professor at the Zucker School of Medicine at Hofstra/Northwell. She is on the Editorial Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology, and she is an associate editor for Simulation in Healthcare Journal. The episode begins with Dr. Lerner describes her journey and training regarding simulation in gynecologic surgery, including her participation in the Center for Medical Simulation at Harvard and involvement in the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists Simulations Working Group, which are both involved in validating and advancing the use of simulation in healthcare. During this time, Dr. Lerner provides a framework for developing a simulation center at an institution, which begins with needs assessment and defining learning objectives. She also emphasizes the financial costs for simulation, as well as concern for institutions without adequate resources for simulation. She then defines 3 terms regarding fidelity: cost, technology, and actual fidelity. For example, Dr. Lerner has built her own mobile simulation lab, which she describes as a high-fidelity, low-cost initiative. The physicians then discuss the role of individualized learning plans in regard to simulation. Dr. Lerner references the book, “Make It Stick,” to emphasize the importance of tailoring training to the learning strategy of the learner. She also encourages listeners to acknowledge the risk of moral injury and to combat it by acknowledging the difficulty that may come with developing competency in simulation. Lastly, she describes how listeners should leverage resources and time in order to promote simulation at individual institutions. The episode ends with the group recognizing the benefits of simulation, as well as its relation to the field of Quality and Safety. While simulation in obstetrics is well-studied, its role in the field of gynecology has lagged due to lack of financial incentives. To address this, Dr. Lerner urges listeners to take advantage of surgical simulation in a safe environment prior to operating in the OR. During this discussion, Dr. Lerner expresses the importance of trainees to gain exposure to simulation early on and to develop an “education portfolio” over the period of residency. In order to help continue the information learned through simulation, it is important to “teach the teacher, train the trainer, and disseminate that knowledge.” Ultimately, Dr. Lerner advocates for the endless opportunity that simulation brings to the field of gynecology surgery. --- RESOURCES ACOG simulation consortium: https://www.acog.org/education-and-events/simulations/about “Make it Stick” by Henry L Roediger III, Mark A McDaniel, Peter Brown EMIGS Assessment: https://www.abog.org/specialty-certification/surgical-skills-program-standard/essentials-in-minimally-invasive-gynecologic-surgery-emig

At the time of this writing, there have been 378 mass shootings in America this year alone. By the time this podcast is published, that number is likely to have increased. There have been 555 in the last 514 days, and three of the ten deadliest mass shootings in American history have occurred in the past 18 months.  At press conferences scheduled in the wake of so many of these events, with a nation seeking answers, the one answer that often surfaces is clear and unwavering: this is a mental health issue at the highest level, and to stop these shootings, something must be done to address mental illness in America. When the lights fade away, however, and the speakers step off of the stage, it seems that the national conversation ends. Until the next tragedy. On this episode of The Scientific Method, we are joined by PNWU Executive Director of Medical Simulation, Lisa Munoz. On October 1, 2017, Lisa saw those statistics come to life as she stood in a crowd of over 20,000 concert-goers when shots rang out over Las Vegas.  What is the current state of mental health in America? Is mental illness truly to blame for these all-too-common tragedies? And, if these tragedies are viewed as society's open-door to discussing mental illness, how does that influence the estimated 44 million Americans who will suffer from some form of mental illness each year?

In this episode, Nicole Kupchik, MN, RN, interviews Dr. Chuck Pozner, who is Medical Director at the STRATUS Center for Medical Simulation at Brigham and Women's Hospital.
