@RBC_PICU Yes. Right now we are only planning on using N95 masks for aerosolizing procedures.

@BetsyHuntMD Thanks Betsy. This is helpful information.

@twhitfill I guess that's what happens when you are named after a Harry Potter character....

@twhitfill @aoifemlbrennan To me it resembles a low-altitude, extremely brief match of Hackysack. #hackysackhandshake

@davidgrantsim In Gawande's Checklist Manifesto, the first line on the sample aviation checklist is "fly the plane." Processes seem to work the best (and cover more contextual variation) in my experience when room for critical thought is explicitly incorporated.

[Aaron Calhoun @AWCalhounMD]

@davidgrantsim Indeed! The phenomenon seems to be at its worst when there is a tacit assumption that a given process has completely encompassed all possible variance in clinical context
and so therefore good judgment is no longer needed in that domain.

@s_eller @SocraticEM @DebraNestel @SSHorg I'm glad you liked it! First time on Twitter and first time on a podcast in one week. I'm finally in the 21st century!
Now to head back to my scrolls 🤓

[Aaron Calhoun @AWCalhounMD]

@davidgrantsim I have seen several situations where a process that was put into place resulted in diminished critical thinking. The staff involved assumed that the process was robust enough to take care of everything.

[Aaron Calhoun @AWCalhounMD]

@davidgrantsim Great questions David. I have noticed this myself and wonder whether critical thinking, rather than process, should be our real focus (not that these are mutually exclusive).

[Aaron Calhoun @AWCalhounMD]

@y2kessler Yes! Please consider serving INSPIRE in either of these leadership roles!

[Aaron Calhoun @AWCalhounMD]

@twhitfill @annabelxt Thanks Man.
First-ever tweet and its about canned water...
Feels right somehow...

[Aaron Calhoun @AWCalhounMD]

@annabelxt @twhitfill There's something profoundly wrong and yet profoundly brilliant about that... #HighQualityH2O
