Completely agree - excellent piece last week from Healthy Debate also made compelling case for this much needed policy change healthydebate.ca/opinions/denyi…

Agree! Another deep challenge to RCA (IMO) is this: jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/… Dosing errors associated with increased mortality. Yet same relationship in placebo group! Highlights that errors can be epiphenomena of other quality problems.

Heartfelt thanks to Tas Kapetanos MD Jay Bruce @DrDanSchumacher Jennifer S. Myers Brian Wong Lorelei Lingard and others. Whole point of talk to get conversation started on much needed pivots to priorites in academic medicine, so very gratifying to pos responses

Agree w Andrew Boozary MD & others; vaccine roll out needs to priortize people & neighbourhoods bearing brunt of COVID risks. Pic below recalls Tudor Hart's Inverse Care Law "The availability of good medical care tends to vary inversely with the need for it in the population served."

Agree with Isaac Bogoch and Eli Perencevich This article did better job than any other I have seen in explaining reasons for decisions about pauses, warnings etc for AZ vaccine. Doesn't make those decisions any less frustrating, but at least they make more sense now

This aerial photograph and tweet strikingly depict one of the reasons for the ongoing inequitable mismatch between need and access when it comes to vaccine protection

Agree with Dr. Jan Hux 🍁✝ BLM & Rodrigo Cavalcanti – this is a powerful thread from Medical Axioms about how patients become ‘frequent fliers’ and the optimal response to individual patients

Agree with Amy Edmondson “worrying” not best word here & also that cognitive load of managing household something well-intentioned male partners (myself included) fail to take into account – as depicted in this comic on gender wars of household chores theguardian.com/world/2017/may…

Patrick Brady Maitreya Coffey Kaveh Shojania CQuIPS Academic Peds Assoc Alison Holmes I learned so much working with Patrick Brady on that session. Hope we get to co-present again in a happier post-pandemic world

As a former editor BMJ Quality & Safety - even tho for a very different journal than Michael Breakspear - can attest these Dos and Donts for manuscript cover letters are very worth reading for all authors

Just want to make clear that hot take from @DrDanSchumacher is a reasonable approach: covers letters are not necessary. & hook for your work needs to reside in manuscript not cover lttr. But, if you do write one, tips from Michael Breakspear capture my sense of things to do and to avoid

Mixed metaphor or not, great to see metrics themselves and positive perception of the tireless efforts of journals’ editors. I am sure fellow former editor-in-chief Mary Dixon-Woods would agree. Congratulations to Bryony Dean Franklin Eric Thomas and whole editorial team BMJ Quality & Safety

Excellent essay on fundamental challenge facing efforts to make to make systems rewarding 'engagement' less toxic - problems baked into model; and trying to combat within these platforms only throws fuel on the fire. theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

Appreciate en fuego icons x 3 from Patrick Brady. Learning is indeed the goal highlighted in this editorial on incident reporting and I worry that patient safety will struggle to maintain relevance if we can't show real progress

Agree - this is a well-written piece. "Neoliberalism is a broad term used to describe a ruthless variant of economic thinking that weakens a country’s immune system, making its population vulnerable to poverty and other social malaise..."

Cool study. And, evidence undermining facile patient safety recommendations, like staff (or patients) so easily averting accidents by ‘just speaking up’, is always welcome.

This syst rev of of SBAR highlights importance in QI work of assessing implementation fidelity. Studies of SBAR often fall short in terms of getting staff to use SBAR as intended, never mind substantially improving communication. bmjopen.bmj.com/content/11/12/…

Patient safety paradigm emphasizes policies, structures at blunt end, not just actions of individuals at sharp end. Yet, attention to blunt end remains rare, as highlighted in excellent commentary by Walter O'D on contributions of admin decisions to patient safety problems.

Sobering essay on attacks against healthcare workers in conflict zones. As Dr Annie Sparrow writes, "the fight to protect medical and humanitarian workers is not new, but we are running out of time before it becomes futile" nybooks.com/articles/2022/…

Inspiring work, Benjamin Leis - I made a donation and will reach out to chat in coming weeks to hear about the experience and pick your brain for ideas on how we cna do more as physicians to adovcate for these people and help address their needs
