Not Who, But What: Changing the narrative around medical mistakes
June 5, 2025
Medical errors are an inevitable part of healthcare, but how we respond to them can make all the difference—for patients, clients, and veterinary teams. This session challenges the traditional blame-focused approach to medical mistakes and advocates for a systems-based mindset that prioritizes learning, accountability, and improvement. Through real-world case studies we’ll explore how narratives around medical errors are shaped and how shifting from “who is to blame” to “what is to blame” can foster a culture of safety and transparency. Participants will examine error statistics in both human and veterinary medicine, learn how to identify and respond to mistakes effectively, and understand the psychological and organizational factors that influence outcomes. We’ll also delve into the nuances of human behavior—distinguishing between human error, at-risk behavior, and reckless conduct—and discuss how to apply root cause analysis (RCA) and failure mode and effects analysis (FMEA) to strengthen internal systems. By the end of this session, attendees will be equipped with practical tools and a new mindset to approach medical errors constructively and compassionately.

The Anatomy of an Error: Dissecting Mistakes to Build Safer Systems
June 12, 2025
Behind every medical error lies an opportunity—not just for accountability, but for transformation. This session takes a deep dive into the anatomy of medical mistakes, using a real-world case involving alfaxalone and ketamine to illustrate how even small missteps can have significant consequences. Participants will explore the foundations of a just culture, learning to distinguish between reckless and at-risk behavior while shifting the focus from individual blame to systemic improvement. Through hands-on tools like Root Cause Analysis (RCA), the 5 Whys, fishbone diagrams, and the Swiss cheese model, attendees will learn how to uncover the true root causes of errors. The session also introduces Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA) as a proactive strategy to prevent mistakes before they happen—especially when introducing new medications or protocols. Attendees will leave with a framework for building a Continuous Quality Improvement (CQI) plan, implementing risk-reduction strategies using the Plan-Do-Study-Act (PDSA) cycle, and navigating common pitfalls in system redesign. With a focus on practical solutions and cultural change, this session empowers veterinary professionals to take meaningful action—even when perfection isn’t possible.

Say "Yes We Can" to More Clients
June 25, 2025
We talk a lot about the barriers to veterinary care faced by clients. But have you ever thought about the barriers that exist within your own hospital, often created by your own team or clinic protocols? Many veterinarians are used to providing options to their clients, especially when it comes to the affordability of care. But does your clinic fully embrace spectrum of care practice? Team members and colleagues may judge clients or their doctor when a diagnostic or treatment plan seems below traditional “best practice.” While some team members are vocal about these concerns, others internalize them, not realizing how their internal opinions affect the way they approach client and team communication. This can take a toll on the mental health of the whole team and negatively impact patient care. You can create a culture that prioritizes spectrum of care in your hospital. This lecture will give you the tools you need, thereby improving patient care and team morale and wellbeing. We will discuss ways to identify and overcome the barriers to care that exist within your hospital. We will explore the necessary resources and skills your team needs to prioritize client partnerships and hold open discussions about case decisions and outcomes. You will leave this lecture with a plan to implement a spectrum of care to the fullest in your practice.
