Contributor: Nicholas Tsipis, MD Educational Pearls: What study was Dr. Tsipis talking about? In December of 2022, the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) put out a study titled “Diagnostic Errors in the Emergency Department: A Systematic Review.” This study triggered many news stories from prominent outlets with headlines such as, “More than 7 million incorrect diagnoses made in US emergency rooms every year, government report finds,” from CNN, and “E.R. Doctors Misdiagnose Patients With Unusual Symptoms,” from the New York Times. What was the response? Matt Bivens, MD from Emergency Medicine News responded to the original study in an article titled, “AHRQ Errors Report was ‘Outright Unconscionable.'” Dr. Bivens points out that AHRQ's biggest claims – including that 5.7% of patients are misdiagnosed in the ED and 2.0% suffer an adverse event as a result – were based only on three small studies out of Canada, Spain, and Switzerland (combined n=1,758). Spain and Switzerland did not have emergency medicine residency-trained physicians at the time of the studies. The Swiss study looked at when the diagnosis changed significantly between admittance and discharge to which Bivens responded, “Are we describing errors in this study or just an ongoing collaborative process?” The Canadian study looked at 503 high-acuity patients of which one died of a missed aortic dissection. Bivens notes that this is too small of sample size to be generalized to the American ER population which includes a mix of low and high acuity. Moral of the story? Mistakes do happen in the ED and they do negatively impact patients but be careful in how you interpret studies and news articles that report on them.

Growth mindset has come up before in this podcast because some advocates believe that it helps kids succeed. Everyone seems to be talking about growth mindset, but there is a poor understanding of how to define it, how to foster it, or how to determine if it works. This is why I was so excited to speak with Elizabeth Tipton. Beth is an Associate Professor of Statistics at Northwestern University, where she co-directs the Statistics for Evidence-Based Policy and Practice Center and is a Faculty Fellow in the Institute for Policy Research. Just this month, Beth and her colleagues published a commentary on two different meta-analyses of growth mindset.  In our conversation, Beth explains what that means and what she found. She also provides a framework for how to think about growth mindset and any program or initiative we are thinking about for the kids in our lives. More information about Beth can be at TalkingAboutKids.com.

Did you know that most women spend half of their lives with less than optimal hormone levels? Knowing what to do about your hormones as you get older can be confusing.  On one hand many docs will tell you there's nothing you can do while others say it's all about optimizing hormones.  Who do you believe?  What do you do?  Dr. Pamela W. Smith has been a doctor for over 48 years and the majority of that time has been spent helping women optimize their hormones. She just released the 2nd edition of her book "What You Must Know About Women's Hormones", a tell all guide for women to understand their hormones better to make informed choices when it comes to hormone health. In this episode of The Health Fix Podcast, Dr. Jannine Krause interviews Dr. Smith on what she's discovered to be the best solutions for the most common hormone imbalance symptoms.

This episode of Informatics in the Round includes a number of fantastic guests. Josh Peterson (heard first after my introduction to the episode, but not formally introduced in the audio) is an internist, a brilliant informatician, and an expert in precision medicine here.  Josh received his M.D. through the Vanderbilt University School of Medicine in 1997. He completed an Internal Medicine residency at Duke University Medical Center, a fellowship in General Internal Medicine at the Brigham and Women’s Hospital, and a Masters of Public Health degree at the Harvard School of Public Health.  Josh is known internationally for his work in precision medicine He has been coordinating a set of national responses to the disease, through his as well as spending time on the front line of care.    Melissa McPheeters is an expert in epidemiology, health policy, and informatics at Vanderbilt. She received her PhD in Epidemiology at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in 2003. She was on faculty here for 10 years as director of the Vanderbilt Evidence-based Practice Center, before taking on the tough role as the Director of the Office of Informatics and Analytics at the Tennessee Department of Health, and Principal Investigator on three federally funded grants to address the opioid epidemic, each with a strong focus on analytics.It’s a pleasure to have  Shannon Rich back, and on hand to keep it real. Shannon is a lot of things: Insightful, unafraid, and so quick-witted. But it was hard to be witty in a room this topic, which literally has changed the course of how we live and think.Charles K Brown.  Singer, Songwriter, and friend of mine. Charlie Brown (yes, that’s his name) is the first person I knew whose birthday was April 1st.  I remember asking him if his parents named him Charlie Brown as an April Fools day joke. He didn’t answer.  But he does speak volumes with his songwriting here in town and around the country.  He’s on youtube, and I hope you take a listen to his work there.Charlie and Shannon listened and asked a lot of questions, but it was clear that there was one central issue on both of their minds, so we went there.  We covered relatively little about the range of ways informatics is involved in collecting data, sharing it for prediction and research projects, and also making changes to electronic health records to support the rapid dissemination of knowledge to the nurses and physicians caring for these patients. But trust me, all that is happening around the world right now. Instead, we focused on a couple of other things, and as always, I want the conversation to be one that is led by our non-informatics guests, so that’s where we went.   I think it will resonate well with a lot of you, and give those of you who are fellow informaticians some practical and useful ideas for work we need to do better. This was a really important episode to record. I hope you agree. 

In this episode, I am excited to share the evidence on vaginal birth after Cesarean, or VBAC. We have received many requests at Evidence Based Birth to cover this topic, so I want to share with you the information on VBAC that I present in a class we teach in the EBB Higher Ed program. In this podcast, I define some common terms related to VBAC and talk about the history of the procedure. By the end, you will have the facts on the prevalence and risk factors for uterine rupture, and you’ll understand some of the maternal, fetal, and newborn risks of VBAC, elective repeat Cesarean, and Cesarean birth after Cesarean.

The former rector of the EMC Medical School in Moscow, Professor of Radiology and now a CEO of a radiology center in Moscow, Sergey explains very vividly, how Russia's healthcare is changing in the last few years. One could call it dramatic, but things are improving rapidly in all dimensions included the medical education, clinical excellence and quality of patient care. Sergey brings together two topics, which for a long time have been separated with dire consequences, medicine and management. He discusses how important the understanding of recruitment, change management and innovation are inside the field of medicine, not at its outskirts. As the former president of European Society of medical Imaging Informatics, he tells a compelling story about how digital imaging helps increase the quality of diagnostics everywhere. Overall a wonderful talk worth listening to!
