As a trauma surgeon, Dr. Bonne was well-acquainted with the unfortunate and sad situation of having to inform parents or families that a child, relative, or friend died from firearm violence. She wanted to do something to address firearm injury prevention in a practical way. As she explains about who is at higher risk for firearm injury, why firearm
injury is a better descriptor than gun violence, and how healthcare can help prevent firearm injury, we can understand how to discuss awareness of these issues and provide resources and support to help decrease firearm injuries.

Funding has played an influential role in the amount of research conducted around gun violence and firearms. Funding had decreased related to political and policy-related issues, but now funding is being provided again. With more data being obtained, more understanding of the links between prevention, intervention, and injury can help influence better trauma-informed care. Additionally, interprofessional interventions such as partnering with communities, talking about how we educate patients, working with community health workers, and starting hospital-based violence intervention groups can be valuable for preventing and addressing firearm injuries.

This episode focuses on the appropriate and inappropriate treatment when caring for a
patient who has been bitten by a venomous snake.


This is episode 1 of the series: Envenomations: Snakes, Lizards, Marine Life, and Arthropods

Envenomations, particularly snakebites, are common in Southern states, yet most
healthcare professionals have little formal training on this subject. Frequently, the medical care provided is inconsistent with established guidelines. There are a variety of common mistakes of both omission and commission. Antivenom is not administered when it is indicated, and antibiotics and surgical interventions are ordered despite the evidence indicating these are unnecessary. Many soft tissue infections are mis-diagnosed as spider bites and hymenoptera stings often receive unnecessary and potentially dangerous treatments.

This podcast reviews the pathophysiology, clinical features, and management of various
envenomations, including snakebites, scorpion stings, spider bites, hymenoptera stings,
bites from venomous lizards and a variety of marine envenomations, including jellyfish
stings. Common myths will be dispelled, and learners will be provided with evidence-based treatment guidelines.

This episode continues the conversation around nursing management of blood glucose levels in conjunction with AI algorithmic technology in insulin pumps. We conclude the podcast series at the end of this episode by considering how nursing might influence and optimize the use of technology to make our workflows and care more efficient.


This is episode 3 of the series: Artificial Intelligence in Nursing

What is artificial intelligence (AI)? How is it being used in healthcare today? How is it already influencing nursing care? Artificial intelligence is not a new technology. It has been around for decades. As the technology continues to evolve and people train the associated technological algorithms with more data to become smarter, technology really can begin to perform some humanlike tasks. Computers are essentially developing a cognitive type of ability, based on how the technology is designed, to work in healthcare from assisting with preparing hospital charges for billing to intelligent robots assisting patients and healthcare professionals. There are a lot of advantages with intelligence technology, but where can “help” cross the line over into concern?

AI is being used to help trigger alerts for possible medical conditions and to also design robotics for healthcare. However, along with this technology comes the concept of the black box phenomenon. We can enter data into a machine, but we don’t always understand how the machine is coming up with the information it’s giving us in return. Can it be trusted?

We all know that conversations in general can have understandings and misunderstandings. Conversations can lead to peace or hostility, trust or mistrust. In healthcare, many conversations take place in the presence of a health concern, scare, or crisis. This adds an additional layer of stress or the potential for a challenging or difficult time with communication. We want to help healthcare professionals to thoughtfully consider the challenges that are part of the different types of patient interactions. We want to discuss recognizing why certain interactions are stressful and help healthcare professionals break down their feelings and consider how to approach such interactions for better outcomes.


This is episode 1 of the series: Challenging Patient Interactions: Conversations that Matter

Communication is a perennial challenge in the world of healthcare. Healthcare professionals have their own filters, time constraints, and temperaments - so do patients. Uncertain and stressful situations, particularly healthcare-related, surfaces complicated emotions making meaningful communication between patients and clinicians difficult. Trust is the foundation of healthy communication. Addressing the issues that interfere with communication (e.g., mistrust, hostility, impatience, etc.) will help clinicians build trust with their patients and colleagues and improve communication. In this course, healthcare professionals will master the tools needed to identify possible conflicts, acknowledge patient emotions, and engage in healthy communication strategies that benefit both patient and clinician.

Challenging interactions are going to happen. We cannot eliminate them from the healthcare setting as everyone has their own way of dealing with emotions, stressful situations, and uncertainty. But if we know they are going to happen from time to time, we can take a more proactive approach to prevention strategies, dealing with them in the moment, and addressing patient and coworker challenges. And, of course, we want to address letting go of blame for healthcare workers who have blamed themselves for things that were outside of their control or allowed unfortunate situations to make them view themselves too harshly or unfairly.

Strong collaboration comes from the interdependent efforts of the team. Recent research across multiple industries emphasizes the importance of not just learning what behaviors are important to collaboration, but also in practicing how to demonstrate these behaviors. It is experiential learning that enables both leaders and employees to work well together, learn from one another, and overcome the psychological barriers that get in the way of doing both. In this session we will talk about not just the “what” about collaboration skills, but also the “how,” and encourage participants to practice these collaboration skills within their own team. Through learning, practicing, and applying these skills individually and within a team environment, participants will get more comfortable learning and teaming together.

Mpox isn’t always a clear and simple diagnosis. Some symptoms may vary, and a long incubation period means it can spread before a person realizes there is infection brewing! But healthcare professionals can learn how to help better suspect and recognize this disease. In addition, clinical stories will be shared to help encourage more interprofessional collaboration and communication amongst healthcare teams to help facilitate better care for patients.

This is episode 1 of the series: Heart Disease in Women: Risk, Prevalence, and Diagnosis

Cardiovascular disease is the number one cause of death among men and women in the United States. The incidence of cardiovascular disease continues to increase. Women affected by the disease often present differently than their male counterparts. Those providing healthcare must be aware of the burden of cardiovascular disease and how it can affect men and women in similar but different ways. Healthcare providers generally understand that heart disease is a serious condition affecting a significant portion of the population but may not fully comprehend how it can present and, specifically, how it can affect men and women in similar but different ways. We, as healthcare providers, can best serve our patients by understanding and acknowledging this critical information.

The purpose of this course is to review important topics in cardiovascular disease as they relate to women in honor of American Heart Month (February).

This podcast episode discusses the Roe v. Wade and Dobbs vs. Jackson Women’s Health Organization cases in relation to the Supreme Court of the United States’ decisions regarding abortion. Perspectives related to how to central concepts of the cases might be viewed, state regulation of abortion, and possible ramifications of changing legislation are considered.


This is episode 1 of the series: Women’s Reproductive Health Issues in the Face of Changing Legislation

For nearly 50 years, the Roe v. Wade decision by the Supreme Court of the United States to legalize elective abortion has made a substantial impact on women’s healthcare and accessibility to elective abortion methods. The 2022 Supreme Court of the United States’ decision regarding abortion has spurred much discussion about how healthcare and women’s health issues are and may be impacted. Changes to laws and healthcare policies create a need to understand how to navigate the new and different healthcare environment based on the influence and effects of these changes. A nonpartisan, nonpolitical discussion of matters related to women’s health and reproductive healthcare are examined to help bring clarity to the current conversation.

At Colibri Healthcare, we developed this educational content with a genuine approach to bringing attention to mental health from a healthcare professional’s perspective.

This is episode 3 of the series: Women’s Reproductive Health Issues in the Face of Changing Legislation

For nearly 50 years, the Roe v. Wade decision by the Supreme Court of the United States to legalize elective abortion has made a substantial impact on women’s healthcare and accessibility to elective abortion methods. The 2022 Supreme Court of the United States’ decision regarding abortion has spurred much discussion about how healthcare and women’s health issues are and may be impacted. Changes to laws and healthcare policies create a need to understand how to navigate the new and different healthcare environment based on the influence and effects of these changes. A nonpartisan, nonpolitical discussion of matters related to women’s health and reproductive healthcare are examined to help bring clarity to the current conversation.

At Colibri Healthcare, we developed this educational content with a genuine approach to bringing attention to mental health from a healthcare professional’s perspective. This podcast contains content that may be unsettling for some listeners. The episodes may discuss abortion, the unborn, miscarriage, and other sensitive topics. We do our best to discuss sensitive topics such as these with discretion and sincerity. Because of the sensitive topic being discussed, we recommend this podcast for adults only. Content warnings: Mentions of abortion, termination of pregnancy, sterilization, death, ectopic pregnancy, miscarriage

Series: Women’s Reproductive Health Issues in the Face of Changing Legislation

View Details

We take a brief look at the journey of a nurse from certified nurse assistant (CNA) to doctor of nursing practice (DNP)-prepared nurse practitioner. Dr. Alysia Pack has been involved in advocacy at Capitol Hill and collaboration with lobbyists, lawmakers, and interprofessional provider groups to promote the advancement of nursing practice and patient access to quality, affordable, and accessible healthcare. She discusses the evolution of the NP role and how it may have started, in addition to how it looks now.


This is episode 1 of the series: Nurse Practitioner Regulations and Practice Issues: Pandemic to Future Considerations

The COVID-19 pandemic and emergency measures allowed many nurse practitioners (NP) to practice at a greater capacity. Healthcare needs during the past few years have brought forward multiple opportunities for expanded NP practice through the influence and power of The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), emergency measures, etc. What happens now though, as we navigate out of the pandemic and emergency measures expire? Might the future of NP practice be reformed again or will practice just return to more limited pre-pandemic conditions for many NPs?

In this episode, we discuss the definitions and concepts around the term, moral distress.


This is episode 1 of the series: Moral Distress: How, Can, and Should We Respond to It?

Healthcare professionals may experience moral distress when decisions are made to manage an ethical dilemma that cannot be implemented, produce a feeling of being required to act, or are inconsistent with ethical practices (Jones-Bonofiglio, 2020). Researchers have recognized that healthcare professionals often do not feel prepared to manage ethical dilemmas that could lead to a patient's care needs not being met, which can lead to moral distress in the healthcare professional (Milliken, 2018). This podcast series aims to help healthcare professionals understand moral distress, the contributing factors of moral distress, and the importance of resilience in managing or preventing moral distress.
