73. The Value and Pitfalls of Signout Culture with Mike Weinstock, MD
There is no doubt that handing over care of a patient to another clinician is potentially fraught with peril. After all, it’s in the transitional moments when error is most likely to occur. But there’s a balance to strike here because there are also myriad upsides to signouts for both the patient and clinician. In this episode, Mike Weinstock, MD breaks down the arguments in favor of signouts, how to do them well, the big fat hairy signout pitfall, and why signouts might just be a key ingredient to career longevity and patient safety.
