Recent publication in @bmj_latest on the role of clinicians in tackling climate change highlights how reducing low-value care can also lower the environmental footprint of health care:

Adverse event analysis is crucial but incomplete without an equity lens.

We know bias & #inequities contribute to #patientsafety events & ignoring that fact means high-quality care will be forever out of reach.

The good news: There are efforts underway to tackle this 👇 (1/2)

[Komal Chandra, PhD @KomalChandraPhD]

How can you be intentional about incorporating equity into every step of event analysis? Excited to share the work of our team at @NYCHealthSystem to Embed Equity in Patient Safety with a @TheIHI Blog! @kroussMD @KomalBajajMD #healthequity #patientsafety

Repeating unnecessary Type and Screen testing is a #lowvalue practice. See how we reduced repeat testing by nearly 50% in 11 hospitals! #valueandsafety @NYCHealthSystem @kroussMD https://t.co/Dmey7a1tdw

Reducing inappropriate C. difficile testing is crucial to avoid false positives and unnecessary treatment. Quality improvement initiative successfully decreased testing rates by 27.3% using electronic health record interventions. Read more https://t.co/wZ9ZEeC1oy @APIC

Roadmap to reduce dangerous and wasteful IV anti-BP meds for patients w/o symptoms, in Joint Comm J on Quality & Pt Safety, by @DOMSinaiNYC NYC HHS @kroussMD. Reduced IV meds by 38% in ED and 13% on wards with simple EMR nudges. https://t.co/yffsShBu0e

Type & Screens are often repeated earlier than the recommended 3 days. See how we at @NYCHealthSystem reduced unnecessary T&S by nearly 50% across 11 safety net hospitals @drtsega @HarryChoMD @KomalChandraPhD https://t.co/OY8xBiL7d8

In our research we found that women were told they were too young to lead, too old to lead...and middle age wasn't quite right either. As it turns out no age is the right age to be a woman leader. See my latest @HarvardBiz article for solutions.

You can help free up nursing time by converting IV antibiotics to PO. Save 1 hr by changing an IV q8h antibiotic to PO!

Consider a point prevalence analysis at your hospital to see how much time could be saved if 10% of courses were changed to PO!

Repeating genetic testing is a #lowvalue practice. See how we reduced repeat testing by 96% in 11 hospitals and 70 ambulatory clinics! #valueandsafety @PALARCONMD @HarryChoMD @stsega @NYCHealthSystem https://t.co/lWyLINou95

Intervention successful in decreasing routine vitamin D testing https://t.co/ehCuz7ajS9

[JGIM Journal of General Internal Medicine @JournalGIM]

This initiative successfully reduced 25-hydroxyvitamin D testing through the use of mandatory appropriate indications and a best practice advisory focusing on a unique area of overuse: the repeat testing within a 3-month interval. #vitaminD #choosingwisely https://t.co/cpUBInsQLH

[Mona Krouss MD @kroussMD]

Vitamin D testing is indicated in a handful of clinical scenarios. A simple EHR intervention reduced inpatient and outpatient testing by 45% @HarryChoMD @JournalGIM @drtsega @KomalChandraPhD @PALARCONMD #valueandsafety #highvaluecare #overuse https://t.co/AjI87K014Z
