Podcast 82 - Handovers, Delegation, and Critique w/ Cliff Reid
This month we had the privilege\xa0to chat with Cliff Reid (@cliffreid)-\xa0a Retrieval Physician with Sydney HEMS. Dr. Reid has an extensive history in HEMS and emergency/critical care medicine. I wanted to pick his brain on a variety of topics such as: \xa0 Receiving a report from the\xa0crew you are intercepting with. As you and your partner enter the back of the ambulance of the crew you are intercepting with, there is a tendency for one person to begin talking to your partner while the other speaks to you. This can create an inefficient communication pattern that leaves gaps in the handover.\xa0 \xa0 Delegating tasks on scene. Sometimes a specific skill needs to be executed, and that intervention falls within the scope of practice of the crew you are intercepting with. Do you let them perform it,\xa0knowing that they didn't recognize or were intimidated to perform the skill prior to your assessment? Do you use this as a teaching opportunity? \xa0 Creating a constructive culture of peer review. Nothing can be\xa0more uncomfortable than giving your partner or colleagues feedback after a mission. Dr. Reid discusses his approach to this necessary interaction\xa0in which he calls "Coffee & Cases". \xa0 All this plus a\xa0lesson on the endangered wangaroo. \xa0 https://www.foamfrat.com/single-post/2019/08/16/Podcast-82---Handovers-Delegation-and-Critique-w-Cliff-Reid
