Doctors make forever impacts on their patients...and sometimes patients can make forever impacts on their doctors. #resilience #grateful #AVM is no match for us. @Dukeneurosurg

@gratefulpt The Gratitude Video:
"Pt is the center of the story, the care team works together to support the pt"
"The team extended into every realm of the hospital including work that was not directly related to medical care"

The symptom you can’t ignore: the worst headache of your life.
#BrainAneurysmAwarenessMonth #DukeBrainAneurysmSymposium
This makes my heart 💙 and head 🧠happy - @Dukeneurosurg raising #awareness around brain #aneurysm and #partnering with #patients as one united team to promote highest #quality care.
Because “stories move data from the head to the heart” is why I share my real #ptexp as an undercover #patientsafety officer. It’s a unique perspective to be a #patient who works in #healthcare #quality Undercover in a Hospital Bed nyti.ms/2GeQ2ql

July 1st and I spent the day welcoming new @dukegme Residents and talking about their role in #patientsafety. Fantastic to have safety as topic on day 1 along with basics like I-9 processing, uniforms and white coats. Welcome to @DukeHealth @DukeHospital
“Every little interaction makes a difference” - The take home message of the team at Duke Primary Care who heard my #AVM rupture and recovery story through lens of #patientsafety #quality and #ptexp. Sharing personal stories are powerful. 💙
Leaving #IHICongress with a full brain and full heart with more passion for our collective work in #patientsafety. Thank you @derekfeeleyIHI and team for an inspiring event.
SWISS cheese theory - we want to get the CHEDDAR but we have to go through HAVARTI first. Shrink the holes and close the gaps to support patient safety. #IHICongress #CPPS Review Course #ptsafety
In honor of #PXWeek2019 let’s challenge every #patientsafety discussion to embrace the #patient and family instead of leaving the #patientexperience as the elephant in the room. It’s all related #safety #quality #experience
