My career roots were built in the critical care nursing world. It took me a long time in my career to change my mindset around understanding the power of questioning “why?” behind problems. I feel embarassed to admit but I always jumped on the gun instead of questioning and diving to the actual root cause 🤦🏻♀️. Once my mindset changed, so did my approach to problem-solving and leadership. Embracing the “5 Whys” technique has enabled me to uncover deeper issues and implement more effective solutions, making a lasting impact in my work. Have you ever heard about the fascinating "5 Whys" analysis behind the deterioration of the Jefferson Memorial? It's a classic example of root cause analysis in action! 1. 💡Why was the Jefferson Memorial deteriorating? The stone surface was wearing away. 2. 💡Why was the stone surface wearing away? It was being washed frequently. 3. 💡Why was it being washed frequently? To remove bird droppings. 4. 💡Why were there so many bird droppings? Birds were attracted to the area to feed on spiders. 5. 💡Why were there so many spiders? The spiders were there because of the large number of insects, drawn to the memorial by the lights at night. By addressing the root cause—reducing the lighting in the evening—they managed to decrease the insect population, which in turn reduced the spiders and birds, ultimately slowing the deterioration of the stone. This story is a powerful reminder of the importance of digging deep to uncover the root cause of a problem rather than just addressing the symptoms. Whether in healthcare, engineering, or any other field, understanding the true source of an issue can lead to more effective and lasting solutions. #RootCauseAnalysis #5Whys #ProblemSolving #ContinuousImprovement #Leadership #JeffersonMemorial

New #HealthAdvocacyMatters blog from The Journal of Health Advocacy: Anticipatory guidance should include nonpartisan information about civic engagement, writes Dr. Naomi Warnick MD, JD of University of Louisville Department of Pediatric Emergency Medicine. "In our role as physicians, it is imperative that we be well aware of the impact policies put in place by local, state, and federal elected officials have on our professional and personal lives, allowing us to better educate and provide care for our patients."

We are not medical professionals, but many patients are reporting this in private groups and seeking help. We are posting here for advocacy purposes.  Posted is a rendered CT scan image of a patient seeking help after costal margin reconstruction (CMR technique) seven months post-op. The preoperative mean pain score of 7.5/10 remains the same postoperatively. #cartilagefractures #slippedribsyndrome #intercostalneuralgia #costalmarginreconstruction #CMRtechnique

“I’d like you to consider a driving assessment.” Words nobody wants to hear from their doctor, especially a strong, proud veteran. Attending a client’s doctor appointment and being in the exam room with the family when a life-altering diagnosis is delivered is emotional. Fear, loss, anxiety, and an uncertain future floods the mind. Yet in those moments, there’s compassion, and a sense of “together we’ve got this.” I feel honored that families invite me into these moments. I know it’s an opportunity to offer immediate support however I may best serve the situation. In this case it’s fortunate I joined my client’s healthcare team early in their journey. While they’re processing the news, I, understanding their goals and resources, begin work behind the scenes, supporting them with tools and strategies needed to remain independent for as long as possible. It feels like what true “heath CARE” and teamwork is all about.
