If you’re not familiar with the ECRI Institute, you should be. For more than 45 years, ECRI has been using applied scientific research to determine which procedures, medical devices and technology, pharmaceuticals, and processes to help you improve patient care and outcomes.
Janet Hagberg once said “If the three elements of body, mind and spirit are in balance, they reinforce one another; if they are out of balance they multiply problems.”
As I partner with organizations that have been on their Relationship-Based Care (RBC) journey for several years, invariably at some point the big question becomes, “How does my team maintain the exuberance and creativity to continue to deepen and also sustain our cultural transformation?”
As professionals we are acutely aware of the increased profile of sepsis of late. But do we know why it has risen to such a level of importance in discussion or why it has become a critical quality initiative? Do we fully understand the implications of sepsis, even in its early stages? Do we know the stages of the sepsis and its progression?
In Mentoring Matters: Part I, I defined the mentor/mentee relationship as a reciprocal and collaborative relationship that sets out to assist the mentee with his or her professional development by defining goals, actions, and behaviors that will ultimately help the mentee be successful.
Last month HealthStream sponsored HealthySimulation.com’s attendance to the 5th annual IPSSW (International Pediatric Simulation Symposia and Workshop) in New York.
With the increasing complexity of the healthcare environment, increased amount of technical knowledge required to practice, shorter lengths of stay, and increased acuity of patient populations, nurses are faced with a phenomenon that has been dubbed by research from the University of Minnesota as “complexity compression.”
Last month HealthStream sponsored my attendance to the 5th Annual International Pediatric Simulation Symposia and Workshops Conference or IPSSW. This specialized simulation meeting took place in the heart of New York City on 103rd st across from Central Park at the historic New York Academy of Medicine. Watch the video and read below for Part 1 of my event coverage below.

If you work in any healthcare environment, you know how inundated we have become with information around ICD-10--most of it leaning towards the negative end of the spectrum.
Our industry is overrun with jargon. We have medical jargon, jargon for the business of healthcare and jargon for every aspect of its services.
In the inspirational new book, See Me As A Person, authors Mary Koloroutis and Michael Trout define the practices that make up a truly authentic connection to patients and families. These practices are the essence of a therapeutic relationship. Koloroutis and Trout define a therapeutic relationship as one in which “the clinician offers care, touch, compassion, presence, and any other act or attitude that would foster healing, and expects nothing in return.” (Koloroutis & Trout, 2012.)
Across the country there is a deep desire to elevate professional practice in nursing. It makes me wonder: Do we see the word “professional” as merely a label or does it help to define who we are?
Effective communication comes in many forms, but the importance of touch communication in healthcare can have a profound impact. Learn more from HealthStream.
An interview with Lee Ann Hanna, Director of Education, TriStar Centennial Medical Center (HCA), Nashville, Tennessee
Many think ICD-10 is only a coding problem, but the true challenge of ICD-10 is the need for increasing specificity and granularity in documentation in order to receive optimal reimbursement, meet all reporting requirements and most accurately reflect the level of care provided.
At a time when hospitals are required to do more with less, the importance of having the right individuals in the right job becomes both a quality of care and bottom-line financial concern. The daily interactions between caregivers, patients, and their families create impressions that last long after the patient is discharged. Top performing employees demonstrate higher levels of patient care/service, increased satisfaction, and better engagement, all of which can ultimately impact your patient loyalty metrics.
I remember vividly my first experience as a patient at age 14, hospitalized for surgery to remove a lump in my breast—I was terrified! Years later, I still remember how I felt with one particular nurse. I don’t recall her name, but I remember her eyes. She saw my fear, and the way she looked at me let me know that everything would be OK.
As I presented to a group of HealthStream’s Home Care and Hospice agency clients recently, I was reminded again of the important role hospice has played in my life and the lives of others I have known.
