All this week has taught me is that I know more about planes than most people.
Disgusted that people are turning these tragedies into conspiracy theories. Disappointed in humanity.

@stark__terror @growing_daniel Same. I tried to communicate and then she was shocked and surprised and tried to contact me a different way. I didn't reply.

@neil_dorin @rebecca_ryder21 @KingKinvar Speaking as a former friend who had to cut off someone:

Honestly, I tried to communicate with her. I told her how I felt. She downplayed it and/or gaslight me or undermined me in one way or another. She treated me like crap and then pretended we were basically family. I tried.

@lokinski @SatyanChari @KenCatchpole @aorn This is awesome @lokinski! I actually just finished reading Dekker's field guide today and I kept thinking about #safetytransformation the whole time!

@flyinbutrs @MichaelAleo @prtwoa @sportsandcraft @carmguti @medeazeapp I honestly suspect that Epic could be designed in a user friendly manner, but since its a wysiwyg software, there's likely so much variability between orgs, some probably have better ux than others. Being a wysiwyg is a double edged sword I think

[Elizabeth Galinsky @sterlinsky_e]

@prtwoa @sportsandcraft @carmguti @medeazeapp Pretty much every nurse I've talked to says they hate Epic.

[carmen @carmguti]

multiple professional doctors i know who use epic every day have told me directly that the terrible UX of this product has likely cost innumerable lives.

60 yo physicians making 100+ clicks per patient visit will definitely make mistakes if the UI is bad.

this company only succeeds because they make it impossible for hospitals/practices to switch.

We talk a lot about #lookalikevials, but what about #lookalikelabels?
This “not for epidural use” label shown to me by @agirlinscrubs looks similar to the one we use for the OPPOSITE purpose

Metric-fixation in healthcare is becoming a major problem, especially in patient safety. In this blog piece I try to unpick some of the problems we are creating for ourselves. https://t.co/AGdaqasOIB

@bmj_latest @MaryDixonWoods @Graham_P_Martin @jgmcgowan @ZENABBARRY15 @lokinski I thought you'd find this interesting

[Elizabeth Galinsky @sterlinsky_e]

@KenCatchpole Is there any evidence that people read them currently? I feel like I have heard plenty of times, "If only they had read the label!"

[Ken Catchpole @KenCatchpole]

Universal patient safety event analysis bingo:
“common sense”
“a checklist would stop this”
“it's an easy culture change”
“this is just human error”
“look at the education”
“we need more training”
“it’s inattention”
“in my day this would never have happened”

the new kia logo is so unreadable that at least 30k people a month search for the "KN car" ever since its debut

[Elizabeth Galinsky @sterlinsky_e]

@lokinski Yeah I do, what the heck, I want a sword and a hat!!

[Elizabeth Galinsky @sterlinsky_e]

🤣 This is the most accurate thing I've read today

Normalize not forcing connections. Let people do what they want, so you can see what they'd rather do – they either choose you, or they lose you.

Prove is a word I refuse to use.
