Cold Steel: Canadian Journal of Surgery Podcast

While we hope that none of  us “botch a surgery”, medico-legal concerns are issues that affect most surgeons at some point in their careers. Previously on the podcast, Dr. Richard Mimeault and Liise Honey spoke to us about the landscape of medico-legal concerns in surgery, and the anatomy of a lawsuit. In this episode, we talk about the CMPA's innovative approach to try to prevent errors from happening in the first place. Richard Mimeault and Elisabeth Normand join us to talk about "Theatre Arts", a workshop developed by the CMPA to help OR teams improve the quality of the care, and most importantly, improve the culture and dynamics of the team. In this episode we talk about the Theatre Arts workshop and how improving culture may have profound impacts on patient safety and satisfaction.
