And a new tradition is born!

[Ariadne Labs @AriadneLabs]

We don’t pass the torch, we pass the thread--Ariadne’s thread to lead us out of the maze of healthcare complexity. Funny moment when @Atul_Gawande passed the thread to @Asaf_Bitton, our new executive director, this week

[Asaf Bitton @Asaf_Bitton]

This is a very important study showing the success of country-wide implementation in Scotland of the @WHO Surgical Safety Checklist, co-developed by @AriadneLabs. Huge congrats to @scotgovhealth and all of the implementers.

Excited to see what the future brings under @Asaf_Bitton, and a special thank you to @Atul_Gawande for creating this incredible place

Opinion: Aspiring surgeons undergo years of supervised training before they can operate independently. But after that training is over, they are on their own for maintaining and improving their skills. https://t.co/UoN2h2Edcr

A former medical director at Aetna admitted to never reviewing patient records or even having basic knowledge of their clinical conditions before refusing requests for treatment. This is what patients and healthcare workers have to deal with in this country.

Importance of Increasing Surgeon Participation in Hospital Leadership in ⁦⁦@JAMASurgery⁩. If we look for surgeons serving in executive roles beyond just CEO, the pool has expanded considerably in recent years, but certainly should be many more! https://t.co/W3dS8rqUx3

NEW! #SurgicalSafetyChecklists are simple, but implementation can be complex. Learn how our collaboration with @SCHospitals on the Safe Surgery South Carolina Program identified key lessons for scaling health solutions across large systems. WATCH: https://t.co/LpzQLSfF0C

[Atul Gawande @Atul_Gawande]

Why #SaferSurgery strategies are so important: New data show that 4.2M people worldwide die in or after surgery each year, >50% in low & middle income countries and most preventable. That's more than HIV, TB, malaria combined. @safersurgery @TheLancet https://t.co/bzkQBRIYU4

While there should absolutely be significant resources dedicated to fighting the opioid crisis in the present, we also need to prepare for the wave of downstream effects from this epidemic. This will echo for decades.

[Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health @HarvardChanSPH]

.@ml_barnett told @usnews that the opioid crisis could have long-term implications for small communities: “The workforce that would be fathers, parents, taxpayers—the backbone of those communities 10 or 20 years from now—a staggering proportion are dying." https://t.co/DfIsC4iAPI

[Atul Gawande @Atul_Gawande]

This is a big deal.

1. Hospitals have cut harm by 13% since 2014.

2. We have the measures to know it and the methods to reduce harms thanks to @AHRQNews. (Remember this when the govt tries to put the agency on the chopping block again.) https://t.co/ZiacZ4vk8k
