When That 1% Makes All the Difference
Just prior to SMACC (the Social Media and Critical Care Conference), we were lucky enough to have Dr. Brian Burns of Sydney HEMS stop through Cincinnati. In the video below you can see his lecture on when the 1% makes all the difference. Dr. Burns talks about how we should strive for excellence in prehospital care not simply meeting minimum standards. Watch the lecture below to hear Dr. Burns discuss the importance of incremental changes, cognitive offloading, checklists, and continuous improvement and training through simulation.
Annals of B Pod - Summer Issue is Here!
In July, the entire emergency department is full of firsts; firsts shift in a new pod, first solo flights, first successful codes, and first shifts supervising new providers. This is an exciting time -- full of new faces and new roles. July can also be scary. All of those new roles come with uncertainty, fear of the unfamiliar, and immense responsibility.
This issue features cases and #lessonslearned from graduates whose “firsts” were not so long ago. These are showcased to serve as a reminder to us all that although this month is full of firsts for the residents, our faculty, nurses, and department have seen many Julys pass and are ready and eager to teach us their own #lessonslearned. Check out the new issue to see!
