The Journey From Career Loss to Physician Advocate with Dr. Stephanie Pearson – 023

2023-08-07T11:27:33-05:00

In this podcast episode, I speak with Dr. Stephanie Pearson, a disability expert and physician advocate. A work-related injury forced Stephanie to leave her specialty of obstetrics and gynecology. Next, she found her disability insurance carrier unwilling to cover her injury. This put her family at risk. Yet, she overcame these challenges, becoming a disability expert and physician advocate along the way. Not every physician who is struggling to find a new career leaves medicine because of burnout, [...]

2017-06-15T07:13:57-05:00

“How would you design a great hospital quality improvement program?” A distinguished gentleman who looks to be in his 60s is asking the question. He and I are sitting across from each other at the end of a long, dark mahogany conference table. I don’t remember how I came to be here. I probably look a bit confused. “John. Tell me… How would you do that?” […]

Preparing to Be a Better Physician Leader – Part 2

2017-03-31T13:46:59-05:00

I started this series by discussing the attitudes or perspectives that physician leaders should understand and adopt. I would like to complete it with a description of some practical skills that you should seek to learn or enhance. If you are early in the journey, you can try to observe these skills in others as you're preparing to be a better physician leader. This is a process. Like any new realm of learning, we follow a path from awareness, to [...]

5 Reasons Why You Must Lead the Crusade to Abolish Hospital Sentinel Events

2017-02-20T10:09:08-06:00

I was sitting in a small conference room. Having worked full-time as hospital Chief Medical officer, I was now interviewing for a position in a larger institution. Midway through my interviews, I was talking with the hospital board chairman. He brought up the topic of hospital sentinel events. Apparently there had been a sentinel event at his organization and the chair and his board were quite concerned. He explained that it was something they had not experienced before. They [...]

Why the Hospital Pharmacy Director Should Report to the Senior Physician Executive

2017-02-06T13:21:12-06:00

Each hospital CEO must determine which departments should logically report to each senior executive. Historically, the vice president for medical affairs or chief medical officer was hired to address the medical staff and its governance, continuing medical education and quality improvement. But there is another department head that should report to the senior physician executive of a hospital: the hospital pharmacy director.   Pharmacy Medication administration is one of the most important functions of a hospital. Safe, effective and [...]

11 Medication Safety Rules You Must Adopt

2017-01-25T06:51:11-06:00

Every year, the health system pharmacy director and I would sit down and review the latest Institute for Safe Medication Practices (ISMP) list of best practices. These are practices based on reports of medication errors from hospitals across the country. When the ISMP identifies a trend, it seeks the root causes. It then compiles preventive strategies and publishes them as ISMP Best Practices for Hospitals. I found these best practices to be a good source of goals for the pharmacy [...]

7 Must See Hospital Board Reports

2017-01-22T21:11:32-06:00

I was walking towards the cafeteria one morning when I recognized one of our hospital board members. I recalled seeing him at one the meetings where I had presented hospital board reports addressing quality. We stopped to chat for a minute. He had been on the board for several years, and had an intimate knowledge of the performance of the hospital. He knew many of the local medical staff. His wife had once worked for the hospital.   [...]

I remember the first time our CEO announced to our board of directors that we had received the Top 100 Hospital designation. I believe the award was “owned” by Solucient at the time. It actually came as a shock because we were not expecting it. I was VPMA back then. We were just vaguely aware of the hospital performance measures it used. The CEO and board were very proud of the designation. We all were. It was a welcome [...]
