Is there a role for #Nudge Units in Australian healthcare services? This is my poster for @DeakinMdsc, a project first inspired by the great work of @First_do_noharm. Could #nudgeandhealth help with #KT #CQI #systemdesign and #teamwork? #DeakinMDSC2020

Michelle's an ICU nurse unit manager at @TheRMH
Every day she treats Victorians facing life and death because of coronavirus - some in their 20s and 30s.
She sees what it does, she helps them breathe, and she holds their hands.
And she has one thing to tell us:

When does investigating become more issue than solution?

How do we help HCW make decisions (including deciding to not do anything!) within a constantly changing evidence base and clinical context? 🤷
Death by PowerPoint doesn’t really work ❌
How about a nudge? 👉
What about a unit that helps design, test and implement nudges?🧐

Major GI bleed
Massive PE
Cardiac tamponade
..all referred to ICU with ‘septic shock’ by normally reasonable ED docs thanks to this EMR alert
... a negative consequence of well-meaning systems design. Nudging clinicians towards a diagnosis of sepsis creates false positives

Tricky decision making in a neonate with head injury today...if only I’d read the PREDICT guidance for mild to moderate head injuries first! Happily there’s a great summary from our friends @DFTBubbles @danihalltweets @miekefoster

The pandemic has posed new challenges for deaf staff. Inability to lip read through masks, noisy environment, masks muffling sounds all pose new barriers. In our departments, it’s our job to provide support for trainees/staff. A thread - thanks entirely to @DocFizzabella

Today @PREDICT_network released an Australian and New Zealand guideline for children with mild to moderate head injuries, providing practical evidence-based, locally applicable clinical guidance for presentations to acute care. Find in @EMAJournal and at predict.org.au
PREDICT has come to the rescue to take the headache out of head injuries 🤕🧠👏
Great to work with the fabulous @danihalltweets 👑
See you at the DFTB trauma course on 17-18 March for more from @DFTBubbles 📺🥳

Very happy to be sitting in on #acem20, covering tips and tricks for managing my own wellbeing to building learning health systems. As @SocraticEM highlighted, medical students need to be able to learn from the front line, and I feel very lucky to have this opportunity.
