SOLIDLINE PATIENT SAFETY DOCUMENTARY PREMIERES AT CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL IN DENVER

Over 200 health care professionals attended the premiere at Children's Hospital in Denver.
On October 26th, Transparent Health and SolidLine Media debuted their latest patient safety documentary to an audience of nearly 250 at Children's Hospital in Denver. The Story of Michael Skolnik, the second film in the internationally acclaimed The Faces of Medical Error...From Tears to Transparency series, shares with viewers how open, honest conversations about the risks, benefits and alternatives to a procedure can indeed change the outcome or save a life. Michael's story, told poignantly through his parents, David and Patty Skolnik, along with commentary from health care experts, teaches viewers how moving Informed Consent as an event to Shared Decision-Making as a process can improve outcomes and reduce risk to institutions. The documentary will be used to educate caregivers in healthcare systems throughout the world.

The production team, including David and Patty Skolnik.
"The transition to patient-centered care, undeniably overdue, starts with a conversation, a fundamentally new conversation," states Rick Boothman, University of Michigan Health System Chief Risk Officer. "Any skeptics need only watch Michael Skolnik's story to understand the link between patient safety and a thoughtful conversation that places the patient at the center."

THE SOLIDLINE PUZZLER

Last Month's Puzzler

Last year the US produced 1.1 Billion pounds of pumpkins. One state produced the most, coming in at a whopping 419 Million pounds of the vined orange gourd. Which state produced the most pumpkins?

Congrats to last month's puzzler winner, Sarah Oaks, Associate Executive Director of AHRMM, a division of the American Hospital Association. Sarah was the first to correctly identify the correct answer, "Illinois!" Thanks to all of those who responded, for which nearly every single answer was correct.

The New Puzzler!

The holiday season is upon us, and that means an endless supply of unwanted fruit cakes and green bean casseroles! So, in the spirit of these 'unwanted' foods, try this one out:

ASK THE CREW

What's your most unusual family holiday tradition?

Mike Petrik, Art Director

It's not your typical tradition, such as everyone wearing funny Christmas sweaters, but something more of a phenomenon that my brother and I count on happening every year. No matter how mundane or how silly a situation, like posing for a picture, one of the Grandma's will genuinely say, "You ruined Christmas!" And storm out of the room. My mom and both of my Aunts are guilty of saying this, and each time is more hilarious than the last. The men in the family laugh, the woman in the family are concerned, and everyone enjoys more wine.

Ed Boe, Production Coordinator

For Thanksgiving, my Mom and I always go to the Brookfield Zoo. Being that turkey day is always on a Thursday, which as it happens is the zoo's free admission day, it's the perfect time to go. It's never crowded at all, and always fun.

Mars Sanford, Motion Graphics Designer

Covering a turkey in bacon, I guess?

Michael Kromm, Creative Director

We bake turkey in the oven. We also have this family recipe that's bread based that we stuff the turkey with it. It usually comes out moist and flavorful. My mother has called it stuffing once, but I am not sure what the real name is.

Greg Vass, Executive Producer

On Thanksgiving, my entire family turns off their iPhones and Blackberrys for the day and just sits in silence...
