Anesthesia Patient Safety Foundation
About this episode

Join us for an enlightening conversation with documentary filmmaker Mike Eisenberg, where we explore the transformative role of technology in patient safety, inspired by his acclaimed film "The Pitch." Discover how pioneers like Jeff Cooper have shaped anesthesia patient safety and learn how the world of aviation offers valuable lessons for the healthcare industry. We promise you'll gain insights into how embracing technological innovations can not only reduce complications and costs but also improve safety outcomes across the board. You'll hear about the fascinating parallels between industries and the potential of predictive analytics to preemptively tackle issues like low blood pressure during surgery.

In our discussion, we highlight the power of collaboration and storytelling in driving change within healthcare systems. We highlight the significance of dedicated events such as Patient Safety Awareness Week and World Anesthesia Day in bringing often-overlooked topics to the forefront. This episode underscores the collective effort needed to address patient safety issues, likening it to the global challenge of climate change. Listen in to understand the pivotal role of media and technology in shaping a safer future for patients worldwide.
