I created this Chi Ant Mr. Happy Bug 10 years ago. I was doing some splicing and mirror work with original paintings and this guy showed up. I knew it was quirky. I listed anyway. If it "speaks" to only one person that makes me feel pretty AWESOME!
Today the Ant spoke for the first time....LOL

"But the pandemic clearly worsened patient safety, with Leapfrog's new assessment showing increases in hospital-acquired infections, including urinary tract and drug-resistant staph infections as well as infections in central lines ‒ tubes inserted into the neck, chest, groin, or arm to rapidly provide fluids, blood or medications."

Happened across this book. Looks cool, but how can it be "a #comparative study of #breath and #breathing as a core #poetic and compositional principle in modern #literature" if it doesn't discuss #qi #氣 (vital breath)?
Qi, and breathing more generally, are crucial concepts in #Chinese and #EastAsian #poetics over 2 millennia.
Books like this should be renamed "A Poetics of Breathing in 20th-century American, British, and German Literature."

It’s QImas! Tonight at 9pm on BBC Two there’s a brand new QI XL all about ‘Toys, Tinsel and Turkeys’ starring Sandi, Alan, Aisling Bea, Gyles Brandreth and Chris McCausland! #QI

One of the advantages of facilitating #QI for #educationSupervison for @NHS_HealthEdEng WM is that you get to learn about the fab resources other colleges have - for instance look at this on the @RCoANews
Just wow 🤩
Now I've found that the #BBC have put every episode of #QI on the #UK #iPlayer, I'm just binge-watching 20-year-old #TV instead of today's fare.
*Notes (series A):
1) Many panellists longer with us. RIP Linda Smith, Sean Lock, Jeremy Hardy, John Sessions... 😔
2) All-male panels now look really odd.
3) A @stephenfry anecdote is always a highlight.
3) Willingness to make a few nearer-the-knuckle comments than you might get now.
4) How much has since been refuted?
Patient-mediated interventions in hospital: systematic review.
33 studies; 18 interventions .12 prompted patients to self-report on own health/needs/concerns, 6 to provide feedback about clinical practice. May improve patient #communication; some evidence of professional #behaviourchange. Interventions that encouraged self-report of health/needs/concerns appeared more successful.

Associations of pediatric nurse burnout with involvement in quality improvement.
Unsurprisingly, "...a larger QI workload was associated with burnout (p-values<0.05)."

Something we've been talking a lot about recently. Hard to justify #QualityImprovement (#QI, #QuImp) in already over-committed staff if it's not explicitly about removing low-value tasks or otherwise improving their workflow.

@triciapendergrast 💯. Not only do we have much to learn from one another’s unique knowledge and experiences, there are many areas of intersection where our particular areas of clinical practice are irrelevant like interests in #MedEd, #academia, #QI or heck, just a shared love of memes and the need to blow off steam in a community of people who just “get it”.
Long live #MedMastodon — with all of us on board!

I'm collaborating with Crohn’s & Colitis UK, people with #IBD, gastroenterologists and IBD nurses to #CoDesign sevices in a #QualityImprovement (#QI, #QuImp) project.
As part of it, we've supported people with IBD to design a patient-reported experience measure. #PREMs
https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/hex.13647
We'll be reporting on its validation and on #evaluation of service changes next year.
