Walking the TikTok Tightrope: Social Media Use by Healthcare Professionals
The following is a guest article by Alexandra V. Aglieco, APRN, FNP-BC
What compels established, well-respected healthcare professionals to post insensitive, ridiculing content on social media with no regard for the patient or family? Do they see a unique opportunity for exponential TikTok views, and subsequently disregarded professional standards?
Social media has successfully infiltrated nearly every industry, and healthcare is no exception. New forms of social media, such as TikTok, have opened the floodgates to an entirely new manner of healthcare professional conduct online, with an attitude that is much more open to ...

The current STEMI paradigm: Because STEMI criteria are not met, let's wait until the myocardium is dead!!
This was sent to me by an inpatient nurse who reads this blog but wants to remain anonymous.An inpatient rapid response was called for a patient with hypotension. The patient was originally admitted for pneumonia and had been transferred out of
the ICU a day prior. He had a history of HFrEF, HTN, and AML. " When I
arrived his blood pressure was 70s/40s and he was pale and profusely
diaphoretic. " " He spoke Spanish but we did deduce that he had 7/10 chest pain radiating to the
back. " " We couldn ’t initially get a hold of the primary physician but our
hospital allows the rapid response nur...

The Quiet Hospital Unit and Other Benefits of an Open and Interoperable Communication Platform
Anyone who has been on a hospital ward, whether as clinician, patient, or visitor, has noticed the continual din of beeps and chirps—it can drive you crazy. It’s notable that one of the simple ways Rauland‘s communication system improves the hospital experience is to reduce noise by routing alerts quietly to the person who needs to handle them.
Another key benefit of using Rauland, according to Director of Product Management Joseph DeLisle, is that it checks the content of a call or alert and directs it to the right person. For instance, if the patient is just asking for a pillow, the call goes to a technicia...

Confronting colon cancer: a daughter ’ s regretful journey
My mother. 63 years old. Colon cancer. She first noticed rectal bleeding. She made excuses. Maybe it’s hemorrhoids. She put her physician on a pedestal. He said, “You’re too young to die,” and there was no need for further tests. Her daughters, both RNs (one an ICU nurse, the other an anesthetist), pleaded with her

Technobabble To English: A Buzzword Guide For Medical AI And Digital Health
Navigating AI in medicine and digital health can feel like ordering a coffee at that new hipster café downtown: exciting yet slightly overwhelming with a menu that seems to be in a different language. A while ago we published a buzzword dictionary to help you decode the most frequently repeated terms. Back then artificial intelligence and machine learning were rarely heard exotic expressions, but as quite a few years have passed, a whole new set of mambo-jambo emerged, waiting to be explained.

Optum: Testing Time for an Invisible Empire
By Jeff Goldsmith
Years ago, the largest living thing in the world was thought to be the blue whale. Then someone discovered that the largest living thing in the world was actually the 106 acre, 47 thousand tree Pando aspen grove in central Utah, which genetic testing revealed to be a single organism. With its enormous network of underground roots and symbiotic relationship with a vast ecosystem of fungi, that aspen grove is a great metaphor for UnitedHealth Group. United, whose revenues amount to more than 8% of the US health system, is the largest healthcare enterprise in the world. The root system of UHG is...
