World-class health care in the heart of Texas. Two new hospitals. The might of UT Austin and the excellence of MD Anderson Cancer Center. Let's do this!🤘

Viewpoint explores a critical source of administrative burden and physician frustration—the explosive growth of health care quality metrics—and how improving these metrics could combat clinician burnout. ja.ma/3qOSoHh

Wonderful case study from UC San Diego Health on how they tacked the logistics and funding for a centralized, large academic Physician Well-being effort. A fantastic success story for institutionalizing well-being as a core goal. #ACPH23

Greg Wallingford, MD, MBA Incredible words to help lead a defusing/supportive debriefing. Let’s go beyond the pause after a patient death. Thanks for sharing Greg Wallingford, MD, MBA - and look at how honoring our humanity allows the team to connect with patients and their team again. #doctorsarehumantoo

Had a blast meeting new and old faces doing phenomenal work in physician well-being at #ACPH23, and sharing the work we are doing at Dell Medical School in rapid supportive debriefing!

Leaders are more likely adopt ideas when they're presented as questions rather than suggestions. Data: Asking "Have you considered...?" and "What do you think of...?" garners support, especially if the boss has a big ego. Advocacy can be threatening. Inquiry is empowering.

It was an honor presenting our research on Rapid Supportive Debriefing at the International Conference on Communication for Healthcare. Thank you to ACH & Greg Wallingford, MD, MBA. Also was particularly exciting to meet other radiologists engaging in this work! #ICCH2023

A CDC report this week on burnout in healthcare concluded with this: Solutions should emphasize “improving the work environment to support mental health, rather than asking workers to be more resilient…” Resilience isn’t the issue. The environment is.

Dr. Greg Wallingford, recently discussed with the AMA the innovative rapid debriefing tool developed by his team to provide crucial support to teams coping with stressful events. Dr. Wallingford emphasized the correlation between well-being and leadership. bit.ly/48HHL9S

Physician leadership is more than just understanding the ways our health care system may be broken. It's having the tools to fix it. #DellMed's Advancing Care Transformation curriculum equips residents & fellows to tackle systemic challenges in health: bit.ly/DellMedACT

Victory lap! Had a blast celebrating Dell Medical School Class of 2024 at two graduation ceremonies this past week. Your hard work and passion to change the world for the better are remarkable. Thanks for allowing us to be part of your journey! Can't wait to see what you accomplish!

An incredible sight, resulting from a world-changing vision for the future of health in Central Texas and beyond.

📢 NEW COURSE ALERT 📢 We've launched a free, #HCTS course with Texas Epidemic Public Health Institute!

Transitioning to residency can be difficult. The new #ACGME “Mental Health and Well-Being During Transitions” resources provide help to programs and institutions in supporting residents and fellows during this vulnerable period, as well as other key transitional times.

It's a story that many in healthcare can relate to: bravely locking our gaze ahead of us, sometimes at the expense of our well-being. Proud to share Tyler Jorgensen's courageous story about his journey & what he's learned along the way! tinyurl.com/5a38pr35 Dell Medical School

Encouraging to see physician burnout fall to 48% nationally, the lowest in 4 years! This is significant improvement, yet our work is far from over. How can we support healthcare workers in pushing this down further? AMA article: tinyurl.com/ye7f3xz5

Incivility within clinical teams can harm our patients! Fascinating that ONE rude comment can negatively impact the diagnostic and procedural performance of the recipient AND other members of the team. Our medical culture and well-being impact our patients.

The hallmark of expertise is no longer how much you know. It's how well you synthesize. Information scarcity rewarded knowledge acquisition. Information abundance requires pattern recognition. It's not enough to collect facts. The future belongs to those who connect dots.
