#420 - 🏖️ [COOL TOPICS] - What Do Normothermia, Breast Milk, and Infection Rates Have in Common? (ft. Dr. Jochen Profit)

Send us Fan MailDr. Jochen Profit, Chair and Principal Investigator at CPQCC and Wendy J. Tomlin-Hess Endowed Professor of Pediatrics at Stanford Medicine, joins the podcast to discuss what truly separates high performing NICUs from the rest. He makes the case for process metrics over mortality as quality markers, highlighting normothermia on admission, breast milk feeding at discharge, and infection rates as deceptively simple yet deeply revealing indicators of unit culture. The conversation also explores how toxic work environments and provider burnout silently undermine quality improvement efforts.Support the showAs always, feel free to send us questions, comments, or suggestions to our email: [email protected].
