APSF Podcast Episode #260 OpenAnesthesia and the APSF: Achieving Safe and Quality Anesthesia Care with Education Innovation 07/01/2025

APSF Podcast Episode #260 OpenAnesthesia and the APSF: Achieving Safe and Quality Anesthesia Care with Education Innovation Listen as Dr. Elizabeth Malinzak, APSF Liaison to the OpenAnesthesia Editorial Board, is interviewed by Dr. Alli Bechtel of the APSF, our content collaborator and section affiliate. See original podcast here: Show Notes: Welcome to the next installment of the Anesthesia Patient Safety podcast hosted by Alli Bechtel. This podcast will be an exciting journey towards improved anesthesia patient safety. Dr. Elizabeth Malinzak takes us behind the scenes of a fascinating educational initiative bridging knowledge gaps in anesthesiology. As a pediatric anesthesiologist at Duke University and liaison between the Anesthesia Patient Safety Foundation and Open Anesthesia, she’s spearheaded the development of over 30 patient safety and quality improvement summaries designed for today’s learners. Malinzak reflects on crucial topics like crisis resource management, fatigue mitigation, and handover protocols that weren’t part of traditional training. This educational void inspired her to create accessible, concise resources that meet modern learning preferences. Gone are the days of textbook deep-dives; today’s professionals need searchable, digestible content they can absorb between cases or during brief study sessions. What makes these summaries particularly valuable is their breadth and collaborative development. Each summary is peer-reviewed and often created through mentoring relationships between experienced clinicians and trainees, creating educational value beyond the finished product. Malinzak offers a clarifying perspective on how quality improvement relates to patient safety: “Patient safety is the goal… That’s what we want to accomplish with every single patient. Quality improvement is the process… how we get to the goal.” As anesthesiologists face increasingly complex cases and efficiency pressures, this distinction helps practitioners develop systematic approaches to protect vulnerable patients. Looking ahead, she envisions technologies like AI reducing administrative burdens so clinicians can focus entirely on vigilant patient care. Discover these valuable resources by visiting Open Anesthesia’s website and filtering for patient safety topics – you never know which summary might teach you something new today. We hope that you will check out OpenAnesthesia.org and the OA Summaries. This episode was edited and produced by Mike Chan.
