It was an honor to catch up with Constance Okeke, MD, MSCE this morning on best practices in patient education. Dr. Okeke states, “A forgotten best practice in patient education is giving it. We as doctors get busy and sometimes we give patients some education but it’s not a lot of education. We may tell them a diagnosis and what we are going to do, but there isn’t a lot of background information on understanding the disease and why we are making certain recommendations. So getting the why. The reality is a lot of patients don’t get any outside information other than what the doctor gives. Let’s say the patient is given a diagnosis and a treatment plan and they are out on their own but it may be hard for them to remember the regimen because they don’t understand what they are supposed to do and why. So they may stop doing the treatment plan and maybe not discuss that with the doctor until the next visit or sometimes not at all. That is exactly the reason why I wrote The Glaucoma Guide Book - Expert Advice on Maintaining Healthy Vision. Doctors need to present information to patients or provide them with credible resources so patients can be their own advocates, understand their own important role and expectations, be on board with the treatment plan, and have good communication with the doctor.” Thank you for the insights, Constance Okeke, MD, MSCE Read more on the Virtual Field blog: https://lnkd.in/epa29X2E #patientexperience #ophthalmology #glaucoma

Two big highlights to share: 1. "Narrative medicine has promoted reflective practices and story-telling as means of promoting compassion, building resiliency, and understanding the “patient” and “physician” as “persons.” #digitalstorytelling #patientvoice #Physicianvoice #shareddecisionmaking #healthcareeducation 2. "Stories about patients are important to help clinicians and trainees develop and practice compassionate person-centered care; stories written by patients on topics and with orientations of their choosing are currently lacking, and, we argue, even more important." #digitalstorytelling #patientengagement #QualitativeData #PatientEngagementResearch https://rdcu.be/dwnbT

For those interested in the 'bystander effect' or 'NMP' (not my patient, not my problem) problem in medicine, Health Innovation Media is now committed to creating, curating, distributing and engaging the community via digital content (all form factors) to raise patient safety and outcomes threat awareness, while simultaneously combatting its inherent though enabling implicit bias. Even the best of the best is not immune. My attention to the NMP cultural phenomenon was spawned by a NEJM Group roundtable chaired Lisa Rosenbaum. There's not much our there, but here's some insight on point with the issues raised during the roundtable. Since we seem to embrace team-based collaborative care often facilitated by 'huddle' based handoffs, the scenario below lands with my observations from the bedside: "Teamwork makes the dream work…but someone has to lead The author describes a common scenario: the primary medicine team defers to GI; GI defers to interventional radiology (IR); IR defers to the primary team, and nothing is happening for the patient. A version of this happens many times a day in the ED. Often, it’s hard for a physician or team to take ownership, admit a patient, or see a consult when they think another service might be better (and they could avoid driving in to see the patient). In the editorial, a new gastroenterologist came on service midway through the patient’s stay and said, “I walked into that room, saw the distress of the patient and her family, and realized the buck was going to stop with me.” That is powerful. The “bystander effect” or “diffusion of responsibility” leads us to think someone else will take care of the problem. Hence, this editorial’s title – The Not My Problem Problem. We may also slide into a deadly “group-think” and end up paralyzed with inaction. The author noted, “failure of other people to act serves to support interpretations or construals that are consistent with nonintervention.” Cardiology didn’t think they needed to go to the cath lab; so, these iffy ECG changes I think I’m seeing must be OK, right? Wrong." Clay Smith @spoonfedEM via journalfeed.org #medicine #EndNMP #NMP

Dr. Suketu Khandhar, Medical Director for Movement Disorders at Kaiser Permanente, shares in this op-ed why he uses Rune Labs #StrivePD precision medicine platform with his #Parkinson's patients: #pwpd "Platforms like StrivePD act as a conduit of communication between clinicians and patients because they signal to both whether a treatment is working...we can allow the patient to be their navigator, empowering individuals to be involved in their Parkinson’s journey."

I vividly remember a night shift during my residency when a middle-aged male patient was rushed into the emergency department with severe abdominal pain. The initial assessment suggested a straightforward case of acute appendicitis, a common diagnosis given the symptoms. With a high index of suspicion for appendicitis, I began the standard workup, focusing heavily on confirming this diagnosis. Despite some atypical findings that didn't fully align with appendicitis, my initial diagnosis had anchored my clinical reasoning. A thorough re-evaluation, prompted by a senior colleague, led to a different perspective. A detailed history and further investigations revealed a perforated peptic ulcer, a condition requiring a completely different management approach. Lesson Learned: This case was a stark reminder of the dangers of anchoring bias—focusing too narrowly on an initial diagnosis and overlooking other potential conditions. As emergency medicine practitioners, it is crucial to remain open to all possibilities, continually reassess our findings, and seek input from colleagues to mitigate the risk of anchoring bias. Conclusion: Anchoring bias can significantly impact patient outcomes in emergency medicine. By fostering a culture of critical thinking and open dialogue, we can improve our diagnostic accuracy and provide better patient care. Let's use this platform to share our experiences and strategies to combat cognitive biases in clinical practice. How do you stay vigilant against anchoring bias in your medical practice? #EmergencyMedicine #ClinicalPractice #AnchoringBias #MedicalEducation #PatientCare #Residency #emdiary
