From Aug. 15: "Nah, nah, nah (fingers in ears, shaking their head) … I can’t hear you!" It seems like a scene from the movie "Office Space" or some '80s flick in which the teacher tunes out the more verbose of the taped-glasses student. This is a fanciful and, perhaps, overly simplified version of the truth, but a new study published in the Journal of General Internal Medicine finds that doctors only spend 11 seconds on average listening to patients before interrupting them.

From Feb. 14: The 2017-2018 flu season is breaking all records. The CDC noted that the "overall hospitalization rate is higher than the overall hospitalization rate reported during the same week of the 2014-2015 season; the most severe season in recent years." There is no doubt that the frontline nurses and healthcare workers are bearing the burden of this. One nurse, feeling the daily frustrations of fighting what appears to be losing battle, recently took her thoughts to the masses in a video that went viral.

From Sept. 19: Simulation requires all manners of reenacting real hospital scenarios.
Our senior-level nursing students have a multi patient simulation. The standardized simulation requires the use of a call light by one of the patients. Our facility is not equipped with call lights in the simulation bays. We wanted to get the students’ attention while they were in the other room of their multi patient SIM. The standard requires that the students move as a group, they cannot send one person off to check the patient on their own. The students are doing their assessment on Patient 1 and Patient 2 is ringing her call light and yelling out from her room.

From Nov. 14: When it comes to patient care, both nurses and physicians are crucial to the delivery of positive medical outcomes. In terms of the relationship between the members of nursing and medical teams, seamless cooperation and communication are what make the team approach truly successful. Thus, the nurturing of positive nurse-physician relationships is central to the earnest pursuit of high-level teamwork and results.

From April 25: Barbara Bush, beloved former first lady, died April 17 in her Houston home at the age of 92. She was surrounded by her loved ones, including her husband of 73 years, former President George H.W. Bush. Mrs. Bush had long suffered from congestive heart failure and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease for many years, and she had become frail in her sunset years. Earlier in the week, it was reported that she was forgoing any further aggressive treatment to extend her life in exchange for comfort care at home.

From July 18: As an administrator, there's no doubt that you're aware of the value good patient feedback has on your facility. Hearing and understanding what works and what doesn't is key in terms of adopting policies that will benefit future patients' physical and emotional comfort. Additionally, as patient satisfaction can determine Medicare reimbursement rates, it's imperative for your bottom line that the environment you provide is pleasant, safe and medically excellent.

From Feb. 28: The global artificial intelligence healthcare market was valued at $714.4 million in 2016, but this train is cruising at a speed faster than nearly every other technology and is projected to grow at a rate of 35 percent through 2025. Since the volume of healthcare data is increasing, the thought is that artificial intelligence can be used for the management of this data pot. Another potential driver is how AI will apply to drug development, disease management and remote monitoring.

From Jan. 24: Kelly Walton, writes: "Go, take a walk, eat something and come back ... we'll try again," said my very nice basic life support instructor. That was after Round 6.
My wrist felt like it had a hairline fracture, but I knew if I didn't pass this voice-assisted manikin BLS program, I wouldn't get a card. That means I don't have a job.
I was putting my entire body into these compressions, and the stupid computer kept barking at me: "Push deeper. Push harder." I didn't sweat this much at my last Bikram yoga session."
