When your child is sick, communication barriers shouldn't make a difficult situation even harder. But the back-and-forth of traditional interpretation can add delays and frustration. That's why a major children's hospital chose remote simultaneous interpretation (RSI) for a clinical trial to help children experiencing a rare neurological disease. This innovative approach allowed for seamless, real-time communication between doctors and patients, regardless of language barriers. The result? More efficient consultations, reduced stress for families, and the ability to focus on what truly matters – the health and wellbeing of the children.

Having worked in #compliance for the Commonwealth, where there was genuine attention to patient safety, I was shocked to learn how many medical boards are run to protect the most powerful, not protect patients or staff being harassed or assaulted. Even in MA, it is not always a rosy picture in every institution. I had not before understood why people were so cynical. I was shocked to learn people perceived disciplinary actions as retaliatory. Then I learned that some of the worst criminals are given a free pass or mere slap on the wrist https://lnkd.in/gx6whUbY while others are falsely accused for over politics or power games. Example of when the Texas board was sued for misconduct. https://lnkd.in/dG_aj-F The medical profession can only regain trust if we have #accountabilty and maintain standards. The “old boy network” of protecting your golf club buddy needs to go and be replaced with #ethics, #integrity, and #safetyculture. How does one safely practice #medicine and center patients amid all this? I kept going up the ladder each time I saw things that were unsafe, unfair, harmful, mistakenly thinking that if I got high enough, I could be in charge of #safety and do the right things. I was naive to the fact the higher you go - in my case up to Chief Medical Officer - the more you are around power hungry types, not those driven by or committed to service to the least powerful. Counterintuitively, “non-profit” is the least safe space. Some donors, perhaps those who used to visit Epstein’s island, seem to think the people in a non-profit are for sale and part of the benefits and perks. https://lnkd.in/gi8wjyBX. I describe all this as “gladiator games of the c-suite.” You can’t bring rainbows to a knife fight, I’ve learned. It’s one of many reasons I went to get an MBA, to at least have better control via the budget. I pivoted from non-profit, of always begging for money (for those poor suffering souls) to for-profit to rebrand away from “good girl” (easy target) do-gooder to being a hard nosed business woman. I see it as that song in Wicked where she gives up the plum role to serve the Wizard, a cushy job but one where the price is to stay silent on harm, to leave and go off on your own, a harder path, but one where you live by your own values. https://lnkd.in/guUYf7W7 The “Good Witch” in “Wicked” is the one who fits expectations, serves power, maintains status quo. Is that really “good”? I also am creating a #culture from scratch. Let’s see if I can create a venture with the right team and culture and skill sets to deliver.
