More than 25 years after To Err Is Human put patient safety on the national agenda, the crisis persists. The WHO estimates that 1 in 10 patients worldwide experiences harm during medical care, and half of it is preventable. And yet one foundational factor remains overlooked: the well-being of the people delivering care. With more than half of nurses reporting burnout and hundreds of thousands expected to leave the profession, the workforce crisis and the patient safety crisis are now one and the same. In this Insight from Episode 123: Safer Together | The Architecture of a Movement, Donald Berwick, MD, MPP, FRCP, President Emeritus and Senior Fellow at IHI and former Administrator of CMS, and Patricia McGaffigan, RN, Vice President at IHI and President of the Certification Board for Professionals in Patient Safety, make the case that healthcare must look beyond its own walls, drawing on lessons from aviation and other industries, to build cultures where psychological safety, dignity, and the freedom to speak up are the foundation of safe care. Not sentiment but essential reality.

if you have any feedback, please send us a text! Thank you!Welcome to another episode of Vital Times.In January 2026 the American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) and the Society for Pediatric Anesthesia (SPA) issued an updated joint communication regarding severe neurologic complications, including stroke and death, in healthy young adult (oldest reported so far is 36) and pediatric patients of Venezuelan ancestry following routine general anesthesia. There have been about 36 known or suspected cases worldwide although that number seems to be regularly increasing. The majority of cases have occurred in South American countries, with six reported in in the United States and eight in Europe. Genetic testing on a subset of the patients found a genetic mutation in mitochondrial DNA, known as the ND4 mutation. (for an interview with the physician and mother listen here https://www.instagram.com/reel/DUb4tYGjfdM/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link .In July 2025, anecdotal communications from South American anesthesiology societies described cases of patients having severe complications from general anesthesia. Despite incomplete and emerging clinical and scientific information, ASA and SPA felt the severity of the cases warrant an expert opinion communication to inform anesthesiologists and their patients.Detailed family histories of patients who were recently affected revealed that all were of Venezuelan heritage and several had family members who also had adverse outcomes after an otherwise uneventful anesthetic. Four anesthesiologists at the leading edge of this newly discovered condition joined the show today to explain how it was discovered, what is known and what we can do about it. Dr. Jim Fehr is the past President of the Society for Pediatric Anesthesia, and the Division chief of Pediatric Anesthesia at Stanford Lucile Packard Children's Hospital. He is one of the coauthors of the joint statement, a member of the Society for PEdiatri Anesthesia's Wake Up Safe initiative and very involved with Patient Safety. Dr. Veronica Zoghbi is a Venezuelan pediatric anesthesiologist and Director of Pediatric Regional Anesthesia at the University of Miami in Miami, Florida. South Florida and Miami have one of the highest concentrations of people from Venezuela in the USA. She and our other 2 guests are members of VAPOR (Venezuelan Anesthesiologist Perioperative Risk Reduction) Dr. Claudia Bruguera Torres is a pediatric anesthesiologist from Venezuela and Assistant Professor at Cincinnati Children's Hospital. Dr. Luis Rodriguez is a Venezuelan Pediatric Anesthesiologist from Miami FL, and currently serves as the Vice President for the Florida Society of AnesthesiologistsFinally, if complications occur in patients with the ND4 mutation, anesthesiologists should report the case to their institutions' patient safety organization and the Anesthesia Incident Reporting System of the Anesthesia Quality Institute.
At the ANESTHESIOLOGY® 2025 meeting in San Antonio, TopMedTalk hosts Andy Cumpstey and Kate Leslie interviewed Professor of Anesthesia and Perioperative Care at University of California, San Francisco, Adrian Gelb, this year's Ellison Pierce Lecturer. Dr Gelb recounts training in South Africa, work in England and Canada, and how he was steered into neuroanesthesia at a high-volume cerebral aneurysm center, becoming engaged by understanding surgical outcomes and encouraging trainees to learn the operative field. He describes developing global health interests, joining the World Federation of Societies of Anaesthesiologists (WFSA) through Alan Merry and others, and progressing from the patient safety committee to WFSA president. Gelb outlines updating WFSA standards with WHO involvement, emphasizing additive "minimum" requirements (e.g., oxygenation and pulse oximetry) and clarifying differences among policies, guidelines, and legally binding standards, urging implementation-focused sequencing. He also highlights AI's potential to advance decision-making, documentation, data, and feedback. -- Join us at Evidence Based Perioperative Medicine (EBPOM) World Congress 2026 in London.

Curiosity can change a career—and a field. We sit down with pediatric cardiac anesthesiologist and creator Dr. Max Feinstein to trace how a love of ethics, a pandemic schedule, and a phone camera evolved into a mission to make anesthesia safer through clear, accessible education. From the first CA1 walk throughs to high-stakes cardiac cases, Max explains how video demystifies monitors, medications, and moments that raise anxiety for patients and challenge new clinicians.We dig into the roots of patient safety—why medication errors still matter, how standardized setups and closed-loop communication reduce risk, and where pediatric data remains thin. Max shares the unexpected insights from filming veterinary anesthesia, revealing shared tools and parallel workflows across species. He also talks candidly about the hardest shoot: obtaining layered consent in the OR, balancing transparency with compassion, and earning trust from everyone in the room.Now serving as the inaugural APSF digital editor, Max walks us through building collaborative patient-safety videos on platforms people actually use. Think opioid safety explained for patients, monitoring made visual for trainees, and practical lessons from human factors that stick when the pressure is high. Along the way, we highlight how partnerships with experts, attorneys, and working groups help turn guidelines into engaging stories that change behavior, not just views.If you care about anesthesia patient safety, pediatric cardiac care, or how medical education is evolving on YouTube and beyond, this conversation offers tools you can use today.

Daniel Hart, CEO of Sentact, describes the need to integrate technology, analytics, and services for hospitals and health systems to improve patient safety, patient outcomes, and regulatory readiness. One of Sentact's key goals is to help organizations gain insights from data to allow them to move from a reactive posture using lagging indicators to a proactive environment supported by AI and real-time data to generate early warning signals. Successful implementation of these insights also reduces operational costs and potentially eases clinician burnout. Daniel explains, "Sentact is a healthcare technology, services, and analytics company. Three core pillars of our business are across tech analytics and services. We serve the hospital and health system market primarily, although we do have all types of healthcare organizations in our customer base. But as an example, a representative example, we service 60% of the top 20 health systems in the market with our solutions. And we are focused on patient safety, quality, experience, and regulatory readiness or compliance. That's the corner of healthcare in which we play." "We offer a range of services through the combination of several companies over the last 12 to 18 months. And we're really excited about the integrated platform that we have compiled. And that platform extends from the credentialing function at a hospital to comprehensive rounding to support safety experience and compliance initiatives. It also includes clinical analytics to help manage provider performance and patient safety, to provide the necessary protections of safety information, and promote continuous learning." #Sentact #HealthcareQuality #HealthcareTechnology #PatientSafety #HealthcareInnovation #DigitalHealth #HealthIT #PatientExperience #PatientOutcomes #HealthcareAnalytics #ClinicalOperations #RegulatoryCompliance #HealthSystemManagement #RiskManagement #QualityOutcomes Sentact.com Listen to the podcast here

In this episode of the SMFM Podcast, we launch a three-part series in recognition of American Heart Month focused on Patient Safety and Quality (PSQI) tools that support standardized, evidence-based cardiovascular care across pregnancy and the postpartum period. Dr. Melissa Spiel is joined by Dr. Andrew Combs, former Chair of the SMFM Patient Safety and Quality Committee and one of the authors of the SMFM Cardiovascular Symptom Checklist, to discuss a concise, one-page tool designed to guide systematic triage of cardiovascular symptoms in pregnant and postpartum patients. The conversation highlights how structured symptom assessment can help distinguish physiologic findings from those warranting further evaluation, reduce missed diagnoses, and promote consistency across care settings. This episode is intended for maternal-fetal medicine subspecialists and obstetric clinicians involved in outpatient care, phone triage, urgent care, and emergency settings. A link to the checklist can be found below and is available on the SMFM website under Clinical Guidance → Patient Safety and Quality.

On a cold January day in South Carolina, Jamie and Matt Staub unpack why focus is one of the most underrated leadership skills—especially in healthcare, where everything can feel urgent. They break down how leaders decide what deserves attention, how to “push pause” on non-emergencies, and why coaching people through problems is often more effective than absorbing them. The conversation also explores decision fatigue, the difference between being busy and being focused, the role of habits (including insights from Atomic Habits), and how boundaries protect the work that actually moves the mission forward. Along the way, they normalize attention struggles, reframe “failure” as part of growth, and offer practical ways to stay aligned to goals without losing empathy or accessibility.
