Levels 1, 2, & 3 | Differences in trauma center resources with Andy Betz

Jonathan Marsh — Wed, 25 Dec 2024 12:00:22 -0500

[Ep58] Trauma centers in the United States tend to have special designations such as Level 1, Level 2, Level 3, and more. Having said that - the differences in available resources for those levels can sometimes be a little difficult to remember.

So, let's clarify things with Andy Betz, MSN, BSN - aka the Trauma Program Manager within Mount Carmel Health System in Columbus, Ohio. He also functions as a CNP at our local Mount Carmel East campus, which is a Level 2 Trauma Center.

NaPodPoMo | 30 for 30 - We are D.U.N. (for November ...)

Jonathan Marsh — Sat, 30 Nov 2024 03:00:00 -0500

[Ep57] You're listening to Episode 30 of 30 ... for National Podcast Post Month! Aka - NaPodPoMo.
We made it! At last - the finish line has been reached.

About National Podcast Post Month
The event gives everyone in the podcast community a chance to challenge their skills by posting an episode every day for the entire month of November! So that's what High-Fidelity Conversations will be doing. In order to keep my sanity, the episodes will be shorter (a few minutes), and the topics will be all over the place (still healthcare-themed). Each of the episodes associated with this event will be marked with "NaPodPoMo" somewhere in the title, so you know when all this chaos starts and ends. I hope you enjoy this adventure for November! We'll be back to our normal, monthly pattern for December.

National Podcast Post Month | 30 Days of High-Fidelity Conversations

Jonathan Marsh — Thu, 31 Oct 2024 03:00:00 -0400

[Bonus Episode] Did you know there is a National Podcast Post Month? I didn't either - but I just recently found out about it. It's affectionately known as NaPodPoMo, and it's been happening since 2007. The event gives everyone in the podcast community a chance to challenge their skills by posting an episode every day for the entire month of November! So that's what High-Fidelity Conversations will be doing. In order to keep my sanity, the episodes will be shorter (a few minutes), and the topics will be all over the place (still healthcare-themed). Each of the episodes associated with this event will be marked with "NaPodPoMo" somewhere in the title, so you know when all this chaos starts and ends. I hope you enjoy this adventure for November! We'll be back to our normal, monthly pattern for December.
