This might be my favorite article of 2024. Thank you
@bradspellberg.bsky.social for this!

The policy to override policies...basically designed to deal with when a policy makes absolutely no sense and is not in patient's best interest.

Opportunity cost might be the most under appreciated tactics we can use to improve our decision making. You can literally hack your own brain by explicitly framing what else you can do with an alternative choice.

This is experiment is one of my favourites

This week we launched Epic (EMR) at Unity Health Toronto. Today we crash tested it during a cardiac arrest simulation.

Most importantly, we ran this simulation as the FIRST test of a cardiac arrest patient - before this occurs in real life.

High turnover of senior doctors and nurses in hospitals is associated with increased mortality for patients admitted for emergencies
TLDR:
Retention of healthcare staff is a patient safety priority & measure administrators by their ability to keep staff

Making better decisions.

One of my favorite topics. I have the pleasure of speaking
@EMCases Summit today on decision making under pressure.

Here are the Elite 8 Decision Making Tactics that can be used across all high-stakes industries

We kicked off today's @EMCases Summit with some incredible virtual #simulations developed by @SarahFoohey using her award-winning virtual resus room.

We practiced & discussed MHP activation, resequencing trauma resuscitation & management of the head injured patient.

You only have a fixed number of good decisions in a day.

This concept, aka decision fatigue is incredibly important in thinking about allocating our decision making cognitive effort. If you're involved in high-stakes decision making, failing to acknowledge this reality can be catastrophic.

Just got this bobble head as a gift from my sim fellow. I’d say it’s legit pretty good!
