The work system for nursing should be designed to support safe, efficient, and timely delivery of care, but the technology and temporal space for error prevention was completely lacking in this case. This healthcare system failed the patient and RaDonda. #IstandwithRaDonda

I’ve walked through these doors, past this sign, hundreds of times over the last two years. Finally stopped today to read the words. Please share with anyone who might benefit. #StrongerTogether #BeKind @SickKidsNews @trey_coffey_TO @GSomersPath @KMcNaughtonCTS

Glad to see this published - more support for doing away with this sacred cow. @Steecj and me are hopeful to add even more to this formal evidence base in the new year :) #medicationsafety #idc #returntosinglechecking :) qualitysafety.bmj.com/conten…
We see this more and more in healthcare and I’m so grateful to have parters in this work like @lokinski! So much opportunity for “unlearning” all these things we thought were best practices!
Many “best practices” were created for a world that no longer exists.
In the face of change, the routines that once moved you forward often become the ruts that hold you back.
No practice is ever perfect. The day you stop being open to improving is the day you start stagnating.

"Standardization" of clinical behavior before software, devices or working environment, while calling for "patient-centered care". Teamwork training that claims to change 20 years of learned behavior & context in an afternoon. "Speaking up" while insisting you still call me Dr.

And in the rubble of our foiled plans, in the fog of uncertainty, we keep looking for beauty. That is how civilizations endure, how societies and the human beings that constellate them heal. It may be the only way we do.

We hold on to each other — even if with elbows or sanitized hands or kind words passed across the distance in the dark.
Interesting and not surprising. What other errors do these interruptions cause? When we tracked the number of calls to our PICU charge phone they were often more than 200 in a 12 hour shift!
Incoming telephone call interruptions may be temporally associated with medication administration errors among PICU nurses. ja.ma/2ROZZS4
A benefit of working night shift @devoschildrens is the monthly Project Night Lights event... members of the community and first responders surround the hospital with lights to say goodnight to the kids!!
