This week in #patientsafety, PPAHS offered a look at the differences in anesthesiology standards between hospital and outpatient settings. From around the web, an infographic on blood clots, a look at how medical students are trained on the opioid crisis, and an alert in a small Canadian town experiencing the worst of the opioid epidemic.
From PPAHS:
Anesthesiology Standards Shouldn’t be Different in Hospital and Outpatient Settings. The definition of best practice and standard of care differs between acute care hospital settings and outpatient surgery centers. How do we, as clinicians and patient advocates, define the best practice standard of care?
