For the first segment of this special two-part episode, climate justice activist and originator of Land Back, Bryanna Brown discusses the critical need for Indigenous rights and ways of knowing and youth leadership to combat a climate crisis rooted in systems of colonial oppression and capitalist greed.   Making the connection between climate and colonialism, Bryanna Brown says:  “One quote that Indigenous Climate Action uses that I really like is: ‘Colonialism caused climate change; Indigenous Rights are the solution.' We are left out from so many spaces and so many decision making processes and tables throughout history. Because our culture is to protect the land. I think Indigenous Peoples are very important to be investing in, in terms of being able to come up with solutions, not false solutions, actual solutions to the climate crisis. But because of the colonial violence that we continue to experience and because it is a culture of honoring profit over people; it's really, really hard to get a say when your values are rooted in protecting the land and protecting something of non-market value. And it's not just the responsibility of Black, Indigenous, People of the Global Majority to do that; allies are really, really, really important. There's so many things that we need to deconstruct or decolonize, or just eliminate entirely from our practices and systems and policies to be able to get to a place of having ways to come together to find solutions.” Reflecting on the power of Land Back, Brown says:  "I was really, really impressed by how it had gained so many different definitions, but very similar definitions across organizations … And I think it's extremely important that it is about the collective energy of Indigenous Peoples and our allies, Black and Indigenous Peoples and People of Color who are protecting the land throughout the world. I was really surprised that it was a global movement. And something that I really noticed was the solidarity that began to grow amongst so many people because of it. And for me, it was really about consent and Free Prior and Informed Consent over our land and our body.”  About today's guest:  Brown is Inuk and Mi'kmaq from Nunatsiavut, Labrador. She is the originator of the Land Back movement and advocates for the sovereignty of Indigenous Peoples, as well as Black and People of Colour communities and land ownership and reclamation as a means of environmental protection and self-determination. Bryanna is a traditional storyteller, knowledge-keeper and public speaker. She is on the National Steering Committee and Climate Policy Advisory Council of Indigenous Climate Action and is currently working with the Keepers of the Circle and the Climate Emergency Unit with the David Suzuki Foundation to establish a Just Transition campaign in Newfoundland and Labrador. She consults on anti-human trafficking and advocates for the rights of women, Indigenous Peoples Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls and environmental injustice in relation to Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls and persons with disabilities.

GUEST: Rebecca Guinn is CEO of LifeLine Animal Project, which manages Atlanta's Fulton and DeKalb County animal shelters and which opened a new shelter, adoption center and clinic in 2019. LifeLine's community outreach effort provides free vaccines, spay/neuter and other assistance to thousands of pets belonging to underserved Atlantans. LifeLine's community cat program, the first and largest organized trap-neuter-return assistance program in Atlanta, has sterilized and vaccinated more than 40,000 community cats; and the LifeLine Spay & Neuter Clinics comprise the largest spay/neuter provider in Georgia, having performed more than 140,000 surgeries to date. Rebecca is active in the Animal Law Section of the State Bar of Georgia and is a member of Best Friends Animal Society's No-Kill 2025 National Steering Committee.   MAIN QUESTION: How can animal welfare leaders and managers keep an eye on the big picture while staying on top of day-to-day fires?   TAKEAWAYS: The leader's job is to keep the focus on the mission and to get others involved in it. Build a team of likeminded people, look for each person's superpower and tap into it. Seek out people with skills that complement others on the team. We owe our best to the animals every time. Set that standard for yourself. Find the gaps in your community, and figure out what's needed to close those gaps. Regularly ask yourself if you're solving the right problems and what you are trying to make better. Perform gap analyses; over time, you'll get better at solving for the right problems. Embrace both ends of the leash. LINKS: Lifeline Animal Project — website Leadership recommendation: Nonprofit Tech for Good website and e-newsletter 

Promise, Witness, Remembrance  (on view from April 6 to June 11, 2021) at the Speed Art Museum in Louisville, Kentucky, was curated by Allison Glenn and reflects on the life of Breonna Taylor, her killing in 2020, and the year of protests that followed. The exhibition is organized around the three words of its title, which emerged from a conversation between curator Allison Glenn and Tamika Palmer, mother of Breonna Taylor, during the exhibition's planning.In "Promise," artists explore ideologies of the United States  through the symbols that uphold it, reflecting on the nation's founding, history, and the promises and realities, both implicit and explicit, contained within them. In "Witness," they address the contemporary moment, building upon the gap between what a nation promises and what it provides through artworks that explore ideas of resistance across time, form, and context. In "Remembrance," they address gun violence and police brutality, their victims, and their legacies.The death of Breonna Taylor, a Black medical worker who was shot and killed by Louisville police officers in March 2020 during a botched raid on her apartment, has been one of the main drivers of wide-scale demonstrations that erupted in the spring and summer over policing and racial injustice in the United States.A grand jury in September indicted  a former Louisville detective involved in the raid, Brett Hankison, for wanton endangerment of neighbors whose apartment was hit when he fired without a clear line of sight into the sliding glass patio door and window of Ms. Taylor's apartment. He pleaded not guilty. No charges were announced against the other two officers who fired shots, and no one was charged for causing Ms. Taylor's deathStephen Reily served as the Director of the Speed Art Museum from April 2017 to June 2021.

Child exploitation is an incredibly sensitive and difficult topic. It is vital to understand what resources are available to help the victims find healing. Today’s guest is Dr. Deaneè Johnson. Dr. Johnson has been a key player in advancing the victim services field at the federal, state, and local levels for over twenty years. As an OVC Fellow, she has assisted with collaborating with the DOJ to identify a range of child exploitation programs available nationwide, illuminating the best practices. She was most recently the chief program officer at the National Center for Victims of Crime before building her own consulting business Ascent Connection and Consulting Solutions. She also serves on the National Steering Committee for the Vision 21 Linking Systems of Care for Children and Youth, the Advisory Board for Preparedness Without Paranoia, and the Charles County Board of Education Safety in Maryland. If you know or suspect child exploitation, sexual abuse, or any other kind of child victimization, contact the National Child Abuse Hotline at 1-800-422-4453. If you are looking for more resources as a victim of past child abuse, call Victim Connect at (855) 484-2846. Show Notes: [1:39] - Dr. Johnson began her interest in this field of child exploitation in 1999 as a volunteer mentor. During her undergrad courses, she was focused on child abuse. [2:27] - After Dr. Johnson received her degree in Criminal Justice, she started her Master’s in Counseling. She counseled adolescent youth that were victim of sexual abuse. [3:15] - Through her experience in counseling, Dr. Johnson felt that something was stirred inside her and she no longer felt that counseling was the direction she should take. [4:13] - Deaneè was given the opportunity to build a forensic interviewing program in a rural community in Texas. She got her masters and transferred her focus to forensic interviewing but still didn’t understand her drive. [5:19] - She put all her energy and education towards the children who were victimized sexually. [6:28] - Throughout her experiences, Deaneè had a memory pop up and realized that she did not have memories from her childhood other than images from photos. She had been a victim of sexual abuse. [7:49] - Deaneè decided to go for her doctorate in Child Development with the drive to apply it to child victimization. [9:13] - Any child can be a victim. No statistic is going to be solid because it is such an unreported crime. [10:34] - 1 in 4 girls and 1 in 10 boys will be sexually victimized before their 18th birthday. [11:03] - There is no specific population or demographic that has higher rates of victimization than others. [12:00] - There are ways to minimize the likelihood of child exploitation but Dr. Johnson does not like to use the word prevention. [13:23] - Dr. Johnson is a chairperson on the Advisory Board of Preparedness Without Paranoia. She explains the education they provide. [14:55] - We’re really uncomfortable talking about sex with kids in general and now add on talking about unwanted sex. That discomfort will show to our kids. [16:00] - If a child goes to their parents with a disclosure, we want to make sure the child knows that what they have to say is important and that keeps communication open. [17:27] - Believe the child who discloses. Whether or not the child is telling the truth is not the job of the parent at that moment. The job is to listen to your child and be there for them. [18:30] - If a child has been victimized once, it increases their likelihood of being victimized again. They need to have someone they can talk to about it. [19:50] - There are two different types of disclosures: active and non-active or accidental. [21:49] - Disclosure will vary child by child. [23:14] - Victimization from a family member that the child loves may not be something they think is inappropriate. [25:11] - Dr. Johnson defines grooming and examples of what this could look like. Grooming is a slow process and creates a false sense of trust. [26:38] - Grooming usually ends with threats if children disclose. It is a vicious cycle that continues with the kids feeling isolated and ashamed. [27:57] - The process of isolating a child or adolescent looks different in each situation and relationship. Dr. Johnson describes a story of an experience with a teenager she worked with. [30:01] - If you feel that there is something going on with a child you know, seeking help depends on the state you live in. Find out if you need to go to Child Protective Services and/or law enforcement. [32:09] - Dr. Johnson shares the contact information for the National Child Abuse Hotline and what they will assist with. [33:41] - She also shares the contact information for Victim Connect which is a resource for those who have been victimized in their own childhood. [34:19] - Many rape crisis centers offer counseling free of charge. Dr. Johnson shares other ways to get resources for healing in tribal communities. [36:41] - Dr. Johnson defines polyvictimization and how the cycle of abuse continues without intervention. [38:39] - There is a trajectory of polyvictimization that all starts with the early onset to exposure to violence, trauma, or childhood adversity. [40:36] - There is a higher likelihood that unaddressed trauma creates an adverse response. When you have individuals who do not have trauma addressed, their ability to cope and make good decisions decreases.  [41:51] - The saying “hurt people will hurt people,” is somewhat true but not in every situation. Dr. Johnson describes it as unaddressed trauma and not the victimization itself that causes someone to hurt others. Thanks for joining us on Easy Prey.

Quality in health care has been a hot topic for over 20 years, ever since the landmark report, To Err is Human, which declared that up to 100,000 people die each year from preventable medical errors. Since that time, the industry has increased its efforts to incorporate quality principles from Lean, Six Sigma and other models, but only one organization has raised a quality standard for health care organizations and their workforce. The National Association of Healthcare Quality (NAHQ) is leading the quality revolution with its framework of essential qualities for the health care professional. Join the conversation as we speak with Stephanie Mercado, CEO of NAHQ. Stephanie is a leader in healthcare association management, advancing healthcare professions, and workforce development. Since joining NAHQ in December 2013, NAHQ membership has increased by more than 70%. Stephanie has raised NAHQ's prominence and value in the healthcare quality space, with the introduction of industry elevating initiatives such as the award-winning HQ Essential Competencies and the National Healthcare Quality Summit. In partnership with NAHQ's Board of Directors, and an outstanding staff and volunteer team, Stephanie led the development of the profession's first-ever Comprehensive Competency Framework, and the profession's first-ever Workforce Study, offering critical insights to workforce development opportunities for healthcare quality and safety professionals. In addition to her work with NAHQ, she currently serves on the Institute for Healthcare Improvement's National Steering Committee for Patient Safety, the Association Forum Healthcare Collaborative Steering Committee, and is a board member of the Commission on Accreditation for Healthcare Management Education (CAHME), and more. In 2018, Stephanie was selected as a recipient of the Outstanding Nonprofit Leader Award from .orgCommunity. We are grateful for Stephanie's leadership in the race to value!   Bookmarks: 6:00 Workforce Empowerment and Culture Alignment to support Quality Improvement6:55 Healthcare Quality Competencies needed to improve patient safety and health outcomes 8:45 The acceleration of Value-Based Care and the recognition of codependent relationships across the care continuum 9:45 A coordinated and competent workforce is a ‘must have' to thrive in health value 10:15 Breaking down the barriers to coordinate care across the continuum 12:00  The NAHQ Healthcare Quality Competency Framework 12:55 The juxtaposition of Quality Training and Medical Training 14:00 Setting a standard to serve as a roadmap for the industry 14:40 Governor Leavitt providing thought leadership in the creation of national standards 15:00 NAHQ's support of individual contributors 15:45 NAHQ's partnerships with healthcare organizations to find opportunities for improvement 16:15 Healthcare leaders sometimes don't know who is doing the work of quality in their organization 17:00 NAHQ's partnerships with academic organizations to hardwire competencies into curriculum 18:05 WGU as a leading national example of hardwiring quality competencies into nursing education 22:35 Leveraging the synergies between health value and quality in partnership with the ACLC 25:30 The Quality competencies that are underperforming the lowest are ones that are underpinnings to Health Value 29:00 Data that shows a correlation between quality training and a higher level of work performance 32:20 Stephanie speaks about the administrative burden of quality measures and the need for standardization 33:10 Looking at other industries with similar challenges in alignment and harmonization of standards, e.g. the history of railroads 35:56 How healthcare can have its own “intercontinental connectedness” with outcome measures, systems, and competencies 38:46 How consumer focus on service reliability and customer service can align with clinical performance and process imp...

Listen NowTwenty years ago last month the National Academy of Sciences published the landmark report, “To Err Is Human, Building a Safer Health System.”  The report found upwards of 98,000 people die each year in hospitals alone as a result of medical errors.  One specific medical error, diagnostic error, was, and remains today, a substantial contributor.  Defined as a wrong, delayed or missed diagnosis, misdiagnoses continue to constitute a major public health problem, adversely affecting more than 12 million annually.  Approximately one-third of whom are seriously harmed and an estimated 40,000 to 80,000 die each year from diagnostic failures in hospitals alone.  Resulting costs are estimated over $100 billion annually.  Despite the problem's pervasiveness and dire effects, the federal government spends less than $10 million annually researching the problem.  (For perspective, the 2019 NIH budget was $39 billion.)   During this 30 minute conversation, Mr. Epner briefly describes the Society to Improve Diagnosis in Medicine's activities, discusses the use/non-use of autopsies in reducing diagnostic errors, the extent to which improved imaging technology is reducing errors and the extent to which this issue is a disparities problem.  He, moreover, discusses efforts to increase funding to address the problem, needed payment reforms, efforts to identify related quality performance measures and recently introduced legislation to improve funding and research.   Mr. Paul L. Epner, MBA, is the Chief Executive Officer and Co-founder of the Society to Improve Diagnosis in Medicine (SIDM).  He is also Chair of the Coalition to Improve Diagnosis, a collaborative with more than fifty of the country's leading healthcare societies, health systems, patient organizations, and organizations focused on improving quality.  He recently was named to the National Steering Committee for Patient Safety.  Mr. Epner is a Past President of the Clinical Laboratory Management Association (CLMA) where he also created the Increasing Clinical Effectiveness (ICE) initiative.  He was recently a member of the CDC's “Clinical Laboratory Integration into Healthcare Collaborative” and a consultant to their Laboratory Medicine Best Practices program (an evidence-based practice initiative).  Mr. Epner is an Associate Editor for the peer-reviewed journal, Diagnosis.Information on SIDM is at: https://www.improvediagnosis.org/. The 2015 National Academy of Sciences expert committee report noted during this interview, "Improving Diagnosis in Health Care," is at: http://www.nationalacademies.org/hmd/Reports/2015/Improving-Diagnosis-in-Healthcare. Recently introduced legislation to address misdiagnoses, i.e., the "Improving Diagnosis in Medicine Act of 2019" (HR 5014), is at: https://www.congress.gov/search?q=%7B%22congress%22%3A%22116%22%2C%22source%22%3A%22legislation%22%2C%22search%22%3A%22HR%205014%20%22%7D&searchResultViewType=expanded.  This is a public episode.

September 19, 2019 Featuring: Tejal K. Gandhi, MD, MPH, CPPS, Chief Clinical and Safety Officer, Institute for Healthcare Improvement (IHI)​ Rear Admiral Jeffrey Brady, MD, MPH, United States Public Health Service, Director, Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality's Center for Quality Improvement and Patient Safety  Helen Haskell, President, Mothers Against Medical Error and Consumers Advancing Patient Safety Jay Bhatt, DO, MPH, MPA, FACP, Senior Vice President & Chief Medical Officer, American Hospital Association; President, Health Research and Educational Trust It’s been 20 years since the renamed National Academy of Medicine (former Institute of Medicine) first shined light on the unintended consequences of medical errors in American health care. Their report, To Err is Human: Building a Safer Health System, has served as a catalyst for safety initiatives at health systems, and progress has been made on multiple fronts — from significant reductions in health care - associated infections, to an embrace of quality improvement and patient safety solutions that now encompass the entire continuum of care. Even with this progress, obstacles to safe and reliable care persist. Systems are confronting a new payment environment, it remains difficult to sustain improvement gains, there are EHR headaches, and ongoing concerns about physician and staff burnout. These are just some of the reasons IHI convened national safety leaders and stakeholders to form the National Steering Committee for Patient Safety (NSC). Co-chaired by IHI and the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ), the NSC is hard at work on a new National Action Plan it expects to release in early 2020. In light of these developments, and in support of World Patient Safety Day on 9/17, we’re focusing this edition of WIHI: No Let Up on Safety, on the work of the NSC and their bold intention to re-energize the safety movement in the US with foundational safety principles and priorities.  If you’re looking to continue the conversation, join industry leaders at this year’s IHI National Forum on Quality Improvement in Health Care and attend a special interest breakfast with members of the NSC.

Known for his deeply Southern accent, Brady Dale Morris is a national HIV advocate and public speaker living in Nashville, Tennessee.  After receiving an AIDS diagnosis in July 2009, Brady began a downward spiral into drugs, alcohol, and depression that led him down a path that ended in several suicide attempts. While recovering from his last attempt, an acquaintance approached him and told Brady he too had recently been diagnosed and needed help in what steps he should take next. That was Brady’s “light bulb” moment and from that day he has dedicated himself to helping those newly diagnosed with HIV and combating the stigma directly felt by others living with HIV.  As an independent advocate, he uses his online reach to promote factual and accurate health information about UequalsU and Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP.)  Additionally, Brady works in several large capacities with big organizations including: Tennessee AIDS Advocacy Network (TAAN,) Tennessee Association of People With AIDS (TAPWA,) Community HIV AIDS Partnership (C.H.A.P.,), is a founding member of the National Steering Committee for Prevention Access Campaign’s #UequalsU message, and has served as the Co-Chairman of the Nashville Regional HIV Planning Council for the past two years.
