Dr. Privitera is Professor Emeritus of Psychiatry at University of Rochester Medical Center (URMC), and was Medical Director, Medical Faculty and Clinician Wellness Program 2015-2022, which worked on individual and organizational interventions to reduce clinician burnout. For the last 12 years he has taken a biopsychosocial approach to understand how the organization/system effects on clinicians and patients can have shared mechanisms which influence risk of burnout, latent medical error and conditions for workplace violence. He received a Patient Safety Award in 2018 from his malpractice carrier MCIC. The goal of this project was to deliver Human Factor-Based Leadership (HFBL) curriculum that integrates patient safety and clinician wellbeing efforts by leadership understanding of basic human factors and ergonomics (HFE) science applied in healthcare systems. This project helped leaders identify and reduce latent conditions in healthcare systems that contribute to error and clinician burnout. He was Chair 2015-2019, MSSNY Task Force on Physician Stress and Burnout and stepped down to focus upon making better known the connection of clinician wellbeing to patient wellbeing. He currently Co-Chairs Monroe County Medical Society Wellness Committee.

He was on the international Scientific Committee for Violence in the Health Sector 2014-2016 through Oud Consultancy. Dr. Privitera was a member of the Federation of State Medical Boards Task Force on physician burnout, which led to their 2018 national policy recommendations of limiting state board physician mental health questions to current impairment and not about past psychiatric history, to help encourage physicians to seek help and avoid stigma. He has presented on Human factor-Based Leadership at the International Symposium of Human Factors and Ergonomics (HFE) in Healthcare, IHI Patient Safety Congress, AHA Leadership Summit and 2022 Healthcare Burnout Symposiums in San Francisco and New York City. This HFE work led to invitations for AHA, AMA webinar presentations and to serve as a panel participant on 2022 World Patient Safety, Science and Technology Summit. Since July, 2022 he is Faculty of Institute for Healthcare Improvement in Boston, for Workplace Change Collaborative HRSA Grant, derived from the recently passed Lorna Breen Act to find ways to help the mental health and wellbeing of clinicians.

Highlights (full transcript at www.twopillspodcast.com): My teaching style is a learning style. I consider myself a learner and that's what it's all about. Someone asked me in the classroom who should learn the most? The teacher. If the teacher is not learning, then learning isn't happening. That's the process. I really try to live that. It's a community of learners, not a classroom. We're all learning together. It's a dialogue. Learning is an internal active change process. When we have real dialogue, the real excitement and learning takes place. The answer is in the room. Having people share their experiences is what it's all about. The dynamic that goes really well for me is when everyone is involved. Sometimes that takes physical movement. I like to have people get up and move. When looking at the kinds of thoughts that medical students generate, such as imposter syndrome and thinking why did I get here. I'm not good enough. I shouldn't be here. That leads to shame, which leads to anxiety and depression. So, if we turn it around and we say that our thoughts are going to be of appreciation and gratitude and positive stories, that leads to my feelings of I am good enough. I feel confident, I am focused, I'm centered, and that leads to resiliency. Major universities are demonstrating that what happens on the outside is a reflection of what is happening on the inside. These include our perceptions and our filters that are transparent to us. We just see right through them. The exciting thing is that you can change! You can change your perception and you can change your thinking. We know so much about the benefits of breathing. In school, we teach students about inhalers and treatment for respiratory diseases. But the respiratory system is so fascinating. When you breathe in, and I invite your listeners to take a breath, be aware at the top of your in breath. And then especially at the bottom of your out-breath. There is a point at which nothing happens. Don't hold your breath, just be aware. Put your awareness when it happens. At that point, your body is in perfect balance. Both systems are in perfect balance. We call it a rest and restore point. It's potent healing. It costs nothing. It's readily available every few seconds. Not only is it physiologically healing, but it can change your perception. If you are talking to someone who is upset, you can put your focus on your own Still Point, you will find that you will become more relaxed. You'll be surprised what comes out of your mouth when you're in this more relaxed and focused state. You're no longer just reacting to the situation. You are speaking from your authentic self. It's really a mind-altering technique. And it's so simple. The prescription I give everyone, which is choose to feel good. We have the ability to change what we think. There are some wonderful simple techniques if you need them like The Still Point, like m
WIHI - A Podcast from the Institute for Healthcare Improvement
Date: June 1, 2017 Featuring: Bob Wachter, MD, Chair, Department of Medicine at the University of California, San Francisco Tejal Gandhi, MD, Chief Clinical and Safety Officer, Institute for Healthcare Improvement Technology is everywhere in health care — and for many reasons, that's a good thing. It's fast, it's efficient, and it can reduce errors. And yet, technology is not a cure-all. It can make people complacent, introduce new errors, and get in the way of meaningful face-to-face interactions. World-renowned patient safety experts Bob Wachter and Tejal Gandhi shared what they're learning about technology's impact (both positive and negative) on our industry. Wachter, the author of The Digital Doctor, discussed the computer's role in the exam room, the potential of electronic health records, the exciting world of wearables, and the patient and provider frustrations technology is causing. Gandhi, former president of the National Patient Safety Foundation and part of the expert panel that created Free from Harm: Accelerating Patient Safety Improvement Fifteen Years after To Err is Human, honed in on technology's growing influence on patient safety. Technology is here to stay and we need to learn how to get the most value from the digital world that health care increasingly relies upon. That was the focus of our conversation on the June 1 WIHI, The Digital Transformation: How Technology Is Helping (and Hurting) Health Care.
WIHI - A Podcast from the Institute for Healthcare Improvement
Date: March 10, 2016 Featuring: Mark Jarrett, MD, MBA, MS, Chief Quality Offer and Senior Vice President, Northwell Health Fran Ganz-Lord, MD, FACP, Director of Ambulatory Quality & Medical Director, Northwell Health Premium IPA Network and Northwell ACO Ann Lewis, CEO, CareSouth Carolina Tejal Gandhi, MD, MPH, CPPS, President and CEO, National Patient Safety Foundation, Lucian Leape Institute, Certification Board for Professionals in Patient Safety Jennifer Lenoci-Edwards, RN, MPH, CPPS, Director, Patient Safety, IHI What comes to mind when you think about patient safety in the ambulatory setting? Infection rates? Probably not. The issues are of course quite different in outpatient care, and that's one reason it's not always obvious to practitioners and staff which of their many daily activities might inadvertently contribute to patient harm. Activities such as failing to follow up on patient referrals, or to communicate test results. Or getting frustrated with the EHR and creating workarounds. IHI's patient safety leads have been doing a lot of thinking about the need for a new safety framework suited to ambulatory care in order to better highlight the unique fault lines and improvement priorities for this setting. Components of this framework and how they’re being tested and applied, as well as real-world examples from Northwell Health and CareSouth Carolina, are explored on this WIHI.
WIHI - A Podcast from the Institute for Healthcare Improvement
Date: May 8, 2014 Featuring: Tejal K. Gandhi, MD, MPH, CPPS, President, National Patient Safety Foundation and Lucian Leape Institute Susan Edgman-Levitan, PA, Executive Director, John D. Stoeckle Center for Primary Care Innovation, Massachusetts General Hospital Maureen Bisognano, President and CEO, Institute for Healthcare Improvement Linda K. Kenney, Executive Director and President of MITSS (Medically Induced Trauma Support Services, Inc.) Health care is at a tipping point with respect to patient engagement – from something that’s “nice to do” (or even “the right thing to do”) to something that’s absolutely necessary. Research and experience are making it clear that no health care organization can operate in a reliably safe way without the involvement of patients and families. And without their involvement, any organization’s safety agenda is bound to encounter diminishing returns. Patients and family members offer extra eyes and ears to events unfolding around them, and have crucial knowledge about and perspectives on what kinds of changes will help them the most. To frame what a vision of patient engagement needs to encompass, and what an across-the-board implementation of that vision needs to embrace, The National Patient Safety Foundation’s Lucian Leape Institute (LLI) has just published a comprehensive report that lays it all out: Safety Is Personal: Partnering with Patients and Families for the Safest Care. The contents of the report and just how to make it actionable are the focus of this WIHI.
See http://www.leanblog.org/245 Today is the first of two episodes that I'll post here during Patient Safety Awareness Week. I agree with the National Patient Safety Foundation that every day should be patient safety day. I'm sure my guest for episode #245 would agree with that. He is Tom Evans, MD, FAAFP, the President and CEO of the Iowa Healthcare Collaborative. I've know Dr. Evans for many years, but was prompted to do the podcast by this editorial he wrote in the Des Moines Register: "Iowa hospitals succeed at keeping patients safe." In this episode, we talk about the progress being made in Iowa hospitals, what they are doing, and the lessons learned.
http://leanblog.org/audio32 This week is the annual Patient Safety Awareness Week, presented by the National Patient Safety Foundation, a non-profit that I like and support. As Lean thinkers, I hope we'd recognize that the amount of patient harm and death that's caused by preventable medical errors is a huge problem around the world.When we ask "why is there so much harm?" there are many answers - causes and root causes. There's no simple answer to the question of why so much harm occurs and why, sometimes, it seems like not enough progress is being made. One contributing factor, I think, is the lack of public awareness aboutthis problem and the scale of it... --- 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
Listen NowFamily caregivers are the most ignored providers of health care delivery despite the fact they constitute 30 percent of the adult population, or are 65 million Americans. Caregivers are more typically women, over fifty, spending 20 hours a week (over an average of five years) providing care most frequently for a family member typically a parent with dementia. They are literally the backbone of health care. Professionally, caregivers, half of whom work full time, incur lost wages, promotions, health insurance, retirement savings and frequently suffer deleterious physical and mental health effects. Nearly 80 percent of caregivers report needing more help and information with at least 14 specific topics related to caregiving. During this 31 minute interview Ms. Mintz discusses the varied and substantive contributions caregivers make and how their efforts can be better supported.Ms. Suzanne Mintz is the cofounder of the nonprofit the Caregiver Action Network (formerly the National Family Caregivers Association), an organization that provides both direct support for caregivers and advocates for legislative reform and other policy changes. Currently Ms. Mintz also serves on the board of National Patient Safety Foundation, the advisory council of the National Transitions of Care Coalition and the advisory board of the Partnership to Fight Chronic Disease. She was honored for her work in 2006 as one of the first 15 winners of the Purpose Prize. She has written several books, the latest is A Family Caregiver Speaks Up: It Doesn't Have to Be This Hard and has published numerous articles on and for family caregivers. She holds a BA in English from Queens College, City University of New York and a MS in Human Ecology from the University of Maryland.For more on the Caregiver Action Network, see: http://caregiveraction.org/ This is a public episode.
