Day 2. #PatientSafetyAwarenessWeek at NYC Health + Hospitals Joe Carter and Anne Rugova NYC Health + Hospitals/Bellevue sums up the power of team best with the analogy of the rowboat - each rower together, aimed in the same direction, rowing the oars in sync, as "one" - a model for all to follow!

Day 4! Takeaways from @HyungChoMD on Overuse & Patient Harm: 1) "Don't look at overuse as overlap with cost, but rather as overlap with harm." 2) "Is it beneficial? Is it harmful? Is it necessary?" 3) "Culture eats strategy for breakfast" #ValueAndSafetyTeam #PatientSafetyWeek

Pay attention to your holistic health: - Slow down & take a BREAK - DO more of what you love - CREATE a plan to integrate rest & re-invigorate - CONNECT with others who can support, motivate, & help you stay accountable on your journey #holisticwellness #mentalhealth

Adverse event analysis is crucial but incomplete without an equity lens. We know bias & #inequities contribute to #patientsafety events & ignoring that fact means high-quality care will be forever out of reach. The good news: There are efforts underway to tackle this 👇 (1/2)

Orgs like NYC Health + Hospitals are committed to embedding equity at every step of event analysis, addressing challenges like knowledge, data, and leadership support. The team detailed their strategy for Institute for Healthcare Improvement (IHI). Read it here: bit.ly/3siHQ3f (2/2) #HealthEquity #RootCause
