We, the founders, Ben, Joe and Loren, were practicing air medical critical providers and clinical educators with a problem. In the decades of experience in our diverse disciplines and models of response and healthcare, none of us had found a solution to our collective challenge.
So we built one.
In doing so, we were overwhelmed with the need for an independent team like Best Practice Medicine (BPM) to support our incredible colleagues healthcare. Today we are humbled to lead a team of over forty change makers driven to improve provider confidence and competence which we believe is necessary to decrease medical error and increase survivability through better performance and decision making in those, the most essential moments between life and death.
OUR PROBLEM
As health care providers, how do we perform and respond well to the rare and extremely rare clinical emergencies with the competence and confidence like we see them everyday?
In urgent, emergent and critical care medicine we found this to be a universal and under recognized source of anxiety, fear and bad patient outcomes. We know because as critical care transport and response teams we saw first hand this challenge was shared by our colleagues in Emergency Medical Services, Critical Access Hospitals, Level I, II and III trauma centers and many more. Basically, everyone in urgent, emergent, and critical care medicine struggles with this phenomenon.
The expectation of our peers, patients and family members is that we will hit a home run (or at least a base hit), on a fast pitch we see only a few times a year, if at all, with little to no meaningful, accessible or affordable batting practice or coaching.
Despite our rigorous continuing education licensure requirements, online learning management systems, case reviews (mortality/morbidity) and grand rounds something was missing, a key component of our preparedness education was lost. Coaching and education for Competency and Confidence was difficult to find, rarely applicable to specific clinical teams / settings, and was expensive.
