Episode page: https://valuecapturellc.com/he67
Welcome to Episode #67 of Habitual Excellence, presented by Value Capture.
Joining us today as our guest is Denise Cardo, MD.
Dr. Denise Cardo is the director of the Division of Healthcare Quality Promotion (DHQP), National Center for Emerging and Zoonotic Infectious Diseases (NCEZID) at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Dr. Cardo joined CDC in 1993 as a medical epidemiologist in the Hospital Infections Program (later named as Division of Healthcare Quality Promotion). After holding several leadership positions in DHQP, she was selected as division director in 2003.
Her interests include patient safety, occupational health, prevention of healthcare-associated infections, and antimicrobial resistance.
She’s recently the co-author of a NEJM Perspectives piece:
Health Care Safety during the Pandemic and Beyond — Building a System That Ensures Resilience
In today's episode, Dr. Cardo talks with host Mark Graban, about topics and questions including:
- Why should we aim beyond merely “getting better” and why should we be aiming for Zero Harm?
- Aim for “perfect healthcare with no harm?
- What are some practices that are not evenly distributed across the US?
- Working previously with PRHI - Ken Segel and Paul O’Neill?
- 70% decrease in harm showed what’s possible
- Preventing preventable infections or ALL infections??
- What is the role of CDC in promoting and partnering with healthcare organizations on patient safety? How has that evolved?
- Policies to incentivize - transparency and accountability
- Aligning payment to results... most countries aren’t there yet
- Please tell us how the CDC partners with CMS, AHRQ, and other federal agencies? With private advocacy groups?
- Focusing on Americans, CDC is a global leader — Collaboration or learning from similar organizations in other countries that are focused on patient safety?
- Lessons from the Covid pandemic? As you wrote about in the NEJM, why have we seen more patient safety problems recently, including more falls, more infections, more pressure ulcers in hospitals and SNFs?
- You and your co-authors wrote the recent trends “severely suggests that our health care system lacks a sufficiently resilient safety culture and infrastructure.”
- Disparities and equity - not just access to care, but “quality care”
- Moving forward, what evidence would you expect to see if we DID have a “sufficiently resilient safety culture and infrastructure”?

Episode page and links: https://valuecapturellc.com/he65
Welcome to Episode #65 of Habitual Excellence, presented by Value Capture.
Joining us again today is Theresa Brown, PhD, BSN, RN. She is a nurse and writer who lives in Pittsburgh. Her third book — Healing: When a Nurse Becomes a Patient — is available now. It explores her diagnosis of and treatment for breast cancer in the context of her own nursing work. Her book, The Shift: One Nurse, Twelve Hours, Four Patients' Lives, was a New York Times Bestseller.
Theresa's BSN is from the University of Pittsburgh, and during what she calls her past life she received a PhD in English from the University of Chicago.
Today's episode is the second part of a two-part series with Theresa that started in episode #64.
In today's episode, Theresa talks about the conviction of RaDonda Vaught -- why is this triggering a lot of fear amongst nurses -- and they talk more about the issues she raises in her books.
Host Mark Graban also asks Theresa questions and discusses topics including:
- 250,000 Americans a year are dying from medical errors and “no one is doing much to change that” — why is that?
- What can be done (or needs to be done) to reduce infections and medication errors?
- You’ve written about mistakes you’ve made... and you wrote about how that wasn’t easy. What happened with the mistake you made (and I hate how that sounds blaming) — the mistake you were involved with regarding the steroid injection?
- You wrote about being “too proud” to tell your manager that a shift’s assignment was “potentially overwhelming” — Why was that?
- Thoughts on laws requiring certain nurse to patient ratios?
- What can be done about the problem of nurses not getting breaks or time to eat lunch
- Thoughts on 12-hour shifts? Increased risk of error, but fewer handoffs. Can we improve the way handoffs are done?
- “One of the key factors in burnout, though, is employees feeling like they have little control over their work environment. That’s pretty much status quo in hospitals for nurses and doctors.” — What can be done about that??
- Epilogue - your main recommendations for our American health system?

Host Mark Graban also asks Theresa questions and discusses topics including:
- Is there sometimes an "empathy gap" in healthcare?
- Making things easy for patients is not currently a goal of healthcare?
- It sounds like nobody was coordinating (or explaining) your overall cancer situation? Why did you feel "left in the dark?"
- Did caregivers know you were a nurse? Were you reated differently?
- “This job would be easier if there weren’t such a narrow divide between being the canary in the coal mine and Chicken Little" -- is there an empathy gap toward nurses and other caregivers?

Mr. O'Neill talks about the leadership required to have such an impact on safety and quality, drawing on lessons from his years as Alcoa's CEO.
