Another great discussion led by film producers Steve and Margot Burrows after a showing of their HBO award winning film “Bleed Out”. People stayed past midnight sharing thoughts and learnings. With over 20 million views, it is a must see film. #medstarIQS

After two long days in the classroom, our Academy for Emerging Leaders in Patient Safety did a long hike along an active mountain river. Back in classroom from 1:00-9:00 this afternoon #medstarIQS #JHF

[David Mayer MD @WalkForPtSafety]

Terry Fairbanks leading high reliability and human factors engineering sessions for our future healthcare leaders sharing tools and techniques that make healthcare safe. Very valuable learnings. #medstarIQS #medstarhealth

[David Mayer MD @WalkForPtSafety]

Our Academy for Emerging Leaders in Patient Safety starts another week in Breckenridge CO. Forty new participants arrived yesterday ready to learn how to keep patients safe from harm. Gwen Sherwood kicks off the week sharing the importance of reflective practice in medicine. #jhf

[David Mayer MD @WalkForPtSafety]

AELPS week one finished on Friday. Two moose and one red fox sightings this weekend. New group of future healthcare leaders arriving today to learn tools and techniques proven to reduce risk to patients and caregivers. #plan4zero #medstarIQS #tgranz

[David Mayer MD @WalkForPtSafety]

Great session led by Dr. Mark Graber, the founder of the Society to Improve Diagnosis in Medicine, sharing tools and techniques to improve diagnostic skills. Missed diagnoses are one of the top three causes of medical harm. #medstarIQS #sidm

[David Mayer MD @WalkForPtSafety]

Great evening showing the HBO award winning movie “Bleed Out”. Producers Steve and Margo Burrows shared the story of their mother Judie Burrows who died from multiple medical errors and the horrible Delay, Deny and Defend tactics used by the hospital making their loss even worse

@KimRko We miss you 😎

[David Mayer MD @WalkForPtSafety]

After two long days in the classroom, our future healthcare leaders went on a morning hike to continue networking. Some took the path along the river, others climbed to 13,000 feet. Another great game in afternoon teaching effective communication skills #aelps #MedStarIQS

[David Mayer MD @WalkForPtSafety]

@lindakkenney Agree. After this summer 1,400 future healthcare leaders will have gone through our PS summer camps. Many from previous camps are now leading change. You should join us one year 😎

[David Mayer MD @WalkForPtSafety]

This morning, learners broke into small groups to learn about and tackle human factor design flaws in common products. Poorly designed equipment and medical record flaws contribute to high numbers of preventable medical harm in hospitals.

[David Mayer MD @WalkForPtSafety]

At the Academy for Emerging Leaders in Patient Safety, we use gaming, simulation and debriefs to educate future healthcare leaders on the importance of collaborative teamwork, effective communication and leadership skills in providing safe care. This is the Teeter Totter game.

[David Mayer MD @WalkForPtSafety]

Great to be back in Breckinridge CO for our patient safety summer camps. Thanks to the #JHF and COPIC for providing scholarships for these young learners making care safer for all
