Most people think occupational therapy is what happens after something goes wrong. Tyler Broome is here to tell you that's exactly the framing that's costing patients their independence. In this episode of the Your Health University Podcast, Jamie sits down with Tyler Broome, a Certified Occupational Therapist Assistant at Your Health, to explore what OT actually is, how it fits into a truly integrated care model, and why the therapy team often sees the earliest signs of decline — before anyone else on the care team does. Tyler brings a uniquely grounded perspective, shaped by a baseball career, a grandmother's fall, and years of working inside the homes of real patients. He articulates something most healthcare systems have yet to fully grasp: that medical outcomes and functional outcomes are deeply connected, and that a care team working in silos is a care team leaving gaps. In this episode: Why occupational therapy is defined by daily function — bathing, dressing, meal prep, medication management — not just physical recovery How OT's presence in the home gives the care team "functional health intelligence" no clinic visit can replicate The difference between saying your system is integrated and actually delivering integrated care Two real patient stories where early cross-disciplinary communication prevented a crisis from becoming a catastrophe Why the shift to value-based care makes therapy's role not just important — but essential If you work inside the Your Health system — or if you've ever wondered what the therapy team actually contributes — this conversation will change how you think about the care happening around your patients every day. www.YourHealth.Org
What happens when a patient can't communicate with the team caring for them? On this episode of the Elevate Care podcast, host Christin Stanford talks with Erin Dougherty Cieszynski, Manager of Guest Relations and Patient Experience at Main Line Health, about what language access looks like once a policy meets a patient in an exam room. This conversation is part two of a series with Main Line Health, following a leadership-level discussion on operational strategy with Suzanne Smith. Check out part one! Erin brings over 12 years of patient advocacy experience to a conversation grounded in real moments from the floor: emergency department visits, registration desks, and the quiet handoffs between nurse, patient, and family. She walks through how Main Line Health moved from reactive interpreter use to automatic activation, why a universal sign-on changed adoption rates among clinicians, and how something as simple as a badge buddy can close a communication gap before it becomes a safety risk. Erin also shares how an ASL interpreter helped identify a hearing-impaired patient as a victim of human trafficking, connecting the dots between language access, patient safety, and trust. Throughout, she reframes language services as a driver of stronger patient outcomes, better satisfaction scores, and increased community referrals, not just a regulatory requirement. Key Takeaways Language access should be automatic at the start of care, not a last resort. Reducing friction through universal app sign-on, badge buddies, and dual handsets drives faster clinician adoption. Patients who feel heard are more likely to return, refer others, and engage in preventive care. Language access touches the entire patient journey, from registration through discharge and follow-up. Strong interpreter access supports both patient safety and staff satisfaction. Health systems should expect deeper digital integration and a shift toward population-mapped language access strategy.

Known for her empathy and ability to bridge the gap between clinical teams and the patients they serve, Erin has led efforts at Main Line Health to expand interpreter access, streamline technology adoption among clinicians, and connect language access directly to patient safety and satisfaction outcomes.

Prior to becoming an anesthesiologist, Alyssa Burgart trained in bioethics. She now counts herself among a growing number of certified clinical bioethicists who help doctors, nurses, patients, and their families handle ethically complex medical decisions at the bedside. Bioethicists are critical to care, Burgart argues, helping patients facing difficult choices to clarify personal values and weigh a complex array of risks and benefits, as well as emotions and familial, cultural, and religious norms. While much of her work is in pediatrics and maternal-fetal cases, she also studies how moral distress and moral injury impact clinicians, contributing to burnout among doctors and nurses. Having a strong ethical community brings resilience to these challenging environments, Burgart tells host Russ Altman in this episode of Stanford Engineering's The Future of Everything podcast.

Cash flow issues don't usually start with cash, they start with decisions made long before revenue comes in. In this episode, hosts Brad and Michael share the story of two owners who set out to build a high-end med spa and invested heavily before validating patient demand. As revenue lagged behind expectations, they faced financial pressure that led to staffing gaps and risky compliance missteps. Tune in to learn how misaligned growth, operations, and compliance can compound under pressure, and how reactive decisions can quickly lead to compliance risks.Chapters00:00 Intro00:43 Banter03:48 Story22:55 Access+23:34 Legal Takeaways30:10 OutroWatch full episodes of our podcast on our YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@byrdadattoStay connected for the latest business and health care legal updates:WebsiteFacebookInstagramLinkedIn

Is a patient's concern being overlooked, or is it simply a case of diagnostic uncertainty? In this episode of Within Normal Limits, Dr. Eric Zacharias is joined by Dr. Susan Sgambati, Senior Risk Manager at Copic, to explore the growing concern of medical gaslighting and its impact on patient safety, trust, and outcomes. The conversation examines how clinicians can unintentionally dismiss or minimize a patient's symptoms through cognitive biases, diagnostic shortcuts, communication missteps, and systemic pressures. Dr. Sgambati explains why medical gaslighting is often not intentional, identifies patient populations most vulnerable to experiencing it, and shares practical strategies for recognizing and addressing these behaviors in clinical practice.

The American healthcare system is built around a simple idea: get sick, get treated. But what if the problem isn't how we treat illness — it's that we've never seriously tried to prevent it? In this first installment of a two-part conversation, Jamie sits down with Brody Wall, Division President of Operations at Your Health, to trace the arc from a broken, reactive healthcare system to one where data tells you what's coming before the patient even knows something is wrong. Brody's path to healthcare wasn't through a textbook — it was through a father who was a Methodist minister and a mother who spent her career caring for underprivileged children. The mission was always there. The data just became the most honest way to fulfill it. In Part 1, Jamie and Brody cover: Why fee-for-service healthcare financially rewards volume of sick visits — not health — and how that one incentive structure explains why 17-20% of America's GDP goes to healthcare costs with outcomes that still lag behind other developed nations What Your Health was flying blind on before it committed to building a real data infrastructure — and what gut-feeling decisions look like when data finally proves them wrong How social determinants of health (Z codes) and behavioral health conditions (F codes) reveal which patients are actually at the highest risk of hospitalization The finding that changed everything: patients with four or more behavioral health conditions were ten times more likely to have multiple ER visits — and the clinical response that followed This isn't just a conversation about numbers. It's about what happens when an organization decides that preventing the crisis matters more than reacting to it. Part 2 drops next week. www.YourHealth.Org

Check out start.nurp.com/doctors to learn more. --- This week on BS Free MD, Dr. Tim Hindmarsh and Dr. May Hindmarsh tackle another round of bizarre headlines, questionable medical practices, and stories that leave more questions than answers. From a McDonald's employee facing prison time after contaminating food, to an inmate claiming his life sentence ended when he briefly died, the conversation quickly shifts into much deeper territory—including an explosive lawsuit involving an experimental RSV vaccine dating back to the 1960s. The hosts also answer a listener question about a concierge medical practice performing blood draws from a residential home, leading to an important discussion about transparency, medical professionalism, and how patients can protect themselves when choosing healthcare providers. As always, expect humor, strong opinions, and a healthy dose of skepticism. In This Episode The decline of corporate Pride Month sponsorships A bizarre McDonald's drive-thru contamination case Why social media encourages people to document terrible decisions Can your prison sentence end if your heart stops? The history of the failed 1960s RSV vaccine trials Vaccine-associated antibody enhancement explained Allegations surrounding informed consent and historical vaccine research Government oversight, pharmaceutical accountability, and public trust Direct-to-consumer pharmaceutical advertising Listener Question: Is "kitchen table medicine" legitimate? How to research your healthcare provider before becoming a patient Concierge medicine, transparency, and laboratory testing concerns Key Takeaways Social media often rewards impulsive behavior with lasting real-world consequences. Historical medical research continues to influence today's discussions around informed consent and ethics. Patients should understand where laboratory testing is performed and how medical services are billed. Transparency builds trust in healthcare, while secrecy erodes it. Taking a few minutes to verify a provider's credentials and disciplinary history can prevent significant problems later. Listener Question A listener describes receiving laboratory testing inside what appeared to be a private residence through a concierge medical practice. Dr. Tim and Dr. May discuss: Whether home-based blood draws can be legal Why transparency about laboratory fees matters Questions every patient should ask before testing How to verify medical licenses and board actions Why patients should feel comfortable requesting independent laboratory services Doc Tales with Cocktails This week's stories include: A McDonald's employee arrested after intentionally contaminating fries. A convicted murderer who argued his life sentence ended when he temporarily died. Discussion surrounding a lawsuit connected to 1960s RSV vaccine research and informed consent. The hosts' humorous take on pharmaceutical commercials and late-night medical advertising.

Welcome back to a special encore presentation of Turn on the Lights! As we continue our transition series, our new host, Dr. Philip, has hand-selected one of our most-listened-to and impactful conversations from the archives to highlight once again. Dr. Philip introduces this essential dialogue with Professor Charles Vincent, reflecting on why its core message, moving past basic compliance toward true, real-time healthcare improvement, is so vital to where the podcast is headed next. Summary: Blame rarely makes care safer, but understanding the system usually does. In this episode, Professor Charles Vincent, a clinical psychologist and leading patient safety researcher, explains how harm often emerges from a chain of small breakdowns, not from a single “bad” decision, and why the better question is “what in the system allowed this to happen?” He unpacks how the fixation on individual error can miss deeper contributors, such as fatigue, poor supervision, weak monitoring, clunky equipment design, noise, distraction, and communication that is not truly heard. You will hear why disrespectful behavior and hierarchy are safety risks, how simple routines like surgical safety checklists can change whether people speak up, and why healthcare struggles to name the trade-off between pushing volume and protecting safety. Tune in and learn how a systems lens, respectful teamwork, and real trade-offs can make care safer. About Prof. Charles Vincent: Charles Vincent is a Professor of Psychology at the University of Oxford and a longtime researcher focused on patient safety across a wide range of healthcare settings. He studies how and why errors and patient harm happen, what actually works to improve safety, and how safety events affect patients, families, and healthcare staff. More recently, his work has zeroed in on how risk is managed when teams are under pressure, where small breakdowns can quickly compound in complex systems. Before Oxford, he spent over a decade at Imperial College London as Professor of Clinical Safety Research and later served as Emeritus Professor. His academic background spans psychology and clinical psychology, including a PhD in Psychology, which shapes his practical, systems-based approach to safety and risk management. Things You'll Learn: Most serious harm in healthcare results from interconnected system conditions, such as missed monitoring, delays, and weak supervision, rather than a single individual error. A focus on blame fosters defensiveness and inhibits organizational learning, whereas a systems perspective examines factors such as fatigue, workflow, tools, environment, and teamwork that shape human performance. Disrespect and rigid hierarchy pose safety hazards by suppressing speaking up, whereas high-performing teams normalize open communication across roles. Safety routines, including surgical checklists, create social permission to voice concerns, but when senior clinicians dismiss them, psychological safety deteriorates. The tension between productivity and safety is often unacknowledged in healthcare, even though increasing volume and evolving care complexity, such as expanded home-based care, can heighten systemic risk.

In this episode of the Elevate Care podcast, host Nishan Sivathasan sits down with Terin Stamps, Vice President, Credentialing Solutions at AMN Healthcare, to explore how credentialing—often dismissed as a back-office paperwork function—can become a powerful competitive advantage for health systems. Terin draws on more than 15 years of healthcare operations experience to break down what credentialing actually encompasses, how automation and AI are reshaping the function, and why involving credentialing teams earlier in the contracting process leads to faster onboarding, fewer disruptions, and stronger patient safety outcomes. She also addresses how health systems can build crisis-ready credentialing playbooks and shares her outlook on where the space is headed over the next five years. About Terin Stamps Terin Stamps is the Vice President of Credentialing Solutions at AMN Healthcare, a role she has held for three years. With over 15 years of healthcare operations experience, Terin previously served as an AVP at HCA Healthcare and has worked across three major health systems. Her team transforms what many perceive as a compliance-heavy administrative function into a strategic capability that drives growth readiness and patient safety.

Michael Huot, M.D., Anesthesiologist and Medical Director at the Pain Management Clinic in Rapid City is back for his third Doc Talk appearance, this time from a more personal angle. In February, he was Doc Talk host Mark Houston's anesthesiologist for colorectal surgery, and that experience opens a wide-ranging conversation about what's actually happening while you're under anesthesia. Dr. Huot walks through the science of consciousness, the realities of trauma cases, malignant hyperthermia, the role of AI in the operating room and why anesthesiologists tend to be the chillest doctors in the building. Then, for the first time, the host gets put in the hot seat. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
Patient safety is often associated with what happens inside the exam room, operating room, or hospital bedside. But what if one of the greatest threats to patient safety occurs long before a patient ever receives care?In this thought-provoking episode of All-Access Pass, Elizabeth Woodcock sits down with Dr. Victor Hassid, Associate Vice President of Access Services and Professor of Plastic Surgery at UT MD Anderson Cancer Center, to discuss his groundbreaking JAMA article, Patient Safety Begins with Access. Together, they explore the powerful argument that delays, barriers, and failures in patient access should be viewed not simply as operational challenges, but as patient safety events. Dr. Hassid shares how fragmented referral processes, scheduling barriers, authorization delays, and care coordination failures can directly impact diagnosis, treatment, and patient outcomes. The conversation also examines the concepts of visibility, accountability, high reliability organizations, and the critical role of data in identifying and preventing access-related harm.Tune in to hear discussions on patient safety, access-related harm, high reliability principles, referral and scheduling barriers, access performance metrics, patient advocacy, health equity, and the future of treating access as a core component of quality and safety in healthcare.
Most physicians using AI on patient data have no idea what the real security risks are. Francisco M. Torres, an interventional physiatrist, and Purab Patel, a medical student with a programming background, argue that cybersecurity has become a patient safety issue in medicine, and that the AI pipelines physicians now rely on are more complex than most clinicians realize. This episode is based on their article "Navigating the cybersecurity challenges of artificial intelligence in medicine," published on KevinMD. You will hear how changing a few pixels in a medical image can flip an AI diagnosis, why AI note-taking can miss clinically significant findings, and what questions to ask any vendor before trusting a black box with patient data. You will also learn why Francisco tells his kids that AI certification may matter more than an MBA. Listen for a grounded take on treating AI as a tool, not a truth machine.

Medical Mistakes Are America's 3rd Biggest Killer | My Partner Died 25 Years Ago Today 26-83 A quarter century ago, a preventable medical mistake took the life of my partner, Andrew Lee Howard. Today, medical errors are considered the third leading cause of death in America — behind only heart disease and cancer. How did we get here? Why are so many families still suffering because of mistakes that should never happen? In this deeply personal episode of The Karel Show, I open up about grief, survival, loss, forgiveness, and what it really takes to move forward after tragedy. Twenty-five years later, I'm still learning the lessons Andrew taught me: life is too short for meaningless meetings, everyone should grow something, cooking should come from passion, and even in the face of illness, you still have to get up and live. We also talk about HIV/AIDS, caregiving, resilience, and why love sometimes means accepting people exactly as they are. If you've ever lost someone, struggled with grief, or questioned the healthcare system, this episode will hit home. The Karel Show is one of the top independent podcasts covering current events, culture, politics, entertainment, and real life — streaming everywhere from Spotify and Apple Podcasts to iHeartRadio and Spreaker.
Joe Kiani is Executive Chairman at Willow Laboratories and Founder of the Patient Safety Movement Foundation. He makes the point that the vast majority of medical harm is avoidable through the implementation of evidence-based healthcare best practices. Technology, particularly AI and remote monitoring of data from medical devices, is crucial for creating predictive models that can alert clinicians to problems and identify root causes of medical errors. The goal is to unite all healthcare stakeholders to work collaboratively toward zero preventable deaths. Joe explains, "In the US, we lose about 200,000 people a year, and about 15 times that rate is the serious harm caused by medical errors. Worldwide, we think the number is close to three million. And the reason we call it preventable is that the vast majority could be eliminated if evidence-based practices were put in place. As you can imagine, people make mistakes, and there are a lot of medical errors that may not be preventable because there is an evidence-based practice in place to avoid them. But when it comes to things like hospital-acquired infection, VTE, sepsis, failure to rescue, CLATSI, there are known evidence-based practices that, if possible, put them in place, we might get to zero, and if not zero, we'd be pretty close to zero." "Well, honestly, all patients are at risk. If you want to focus on those most at risk, we've got to miss the ones that really go wrong. If we can imagine someone going in for a simple procedure, even a cosmetic one, like a hip replacement, and the procedure goes really well." "But while there's a catheter inside the artery, someone could walk in and, without cleaning their hands, touch the patient, the bacteria could enter the bloodstream and cause a serious infection. So really, you've got to create a culture of safety where you look for ways to mitigate people's mistakes, and those are what we call evidence-based practices. There are about 20 of them, starting with cultural patient safety, on the Patient Safety Movement Foundation website that people can freely download and implement, and therefore not get into these problems." #PatientSafetyMovementFoundation #PatientSafetyMovement #PatientSafety #HealthcareQuality #ZeroHarm #EvidenceBasedPractice #AIinHealthcare #ClinicalSafety #HospitalLeadership #MedTech #CultureOfSafety #PreventableHarm #FailureToRescue #Sepsis #VTE #PatientExperience #ClinicianBurnout willowlabs.ai psmf.org Download the transcript here

What if the most important thing you did today wasn't on your task list? In the final episode of Your Health University's Values Series, host Jamie Preston brings back the full Patient Experience Team — Jennifer Kistler, Kim Metz, Whitney Myers, Carlos Heyward, and Rebecca Dillard — to explore the value that brings every other one to life: Service. Not the idea of it. The real, daily, roll-up-your-sleeves version that shows up in 60 extra seconds, one extra phone call, and the moments when you decide not to leave someone when they need you most. What you'll hear in this episode: Whitney's story of refusing to leave a patient on his worst day — and what true service looks like when the moments count most Carlos's creative solution for a patient in Charleston who keeps falling — and the phone call she made just to say thank you Rebecca's respiratory therapists who change cat litter boxes and wheel trash cans to the curb — because they noticed, and they could Kim's ICU story: braiding the hair of ventilated patients who couldn't do it themselves, because I would want someone to do that for me Jamie's deeply personal account of his wife's breast cancer diagnosis — and the profound difference between a healthcare team that says "this is what you need to do" and one that asks "what do you think?" Carlos's challenge to every listener: don't just adopt these values at work — make them yours Service is the reason you got into this. It's the thing that makes the hard days worth it and wakes you up the next morning ready to go again. Press play — and let this episode remind you exactly why what you do matters. www.YourHealth.Org
In this episode, we talk with ophthalmologist Dr. Jennifer Grin about a practical, high-yield approach to evaluating eye complaints, documenting findings, and knowing when to urgently refer. The conversation covers a breakdown of an “easy eye exam” any clinician can do from starting with visual acuity as the eye's vital sign to realistic expectations for the fundus exam. Dr. Grin reviews warning signs such as sudden vision loss, abnormal pupils, flashes/floaters with a curtain (retinal detachment), and concerning trauma. She also highlights common pitfalls like mislabeling serious diseases like conjunctivitis, missing open globe injuries, and prescribing topical steroids or anesthetics without a clear diagnosis.
