Perspective on Safety
March 1, 2008
Prior to the introduction of the Medical Procedure Service (MPS) in 2002, medical procedures at our institution (Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center) were performed and taught using the time-honored apprenticeship model of "see one, do one, teach one." Residents were expected to independently perform and teach most medical procedures (central venous line placement, thoracentesis, paracentesis, and lumbar punctures). Procedural instruction was limited and poorly standardized; furthermore, trainee performance was infrequently supervised or assessed.
Dr. Rosen is Medical Director of the Inpatient Specialty Program (ISP) Hospitalist service at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center. He also assists with the operation of Cedars-Sinai's innovative Procedure Center, which provides numerous procedural services for inpatients and outpatients. This Center and Dr. Rosen's work have been featured in articles in the Wall Street Journal and elsewhere. In this conversation, we explore the value of a dedicated procedure center and the emergence of specialized physicians to staff them ("proceduralists") and the challenges inherent in teaching novices how to perform risky procedures without harming patient safety.
