Augmented reality significantly reduces the absolute error between achieved and planned inclination and version of the glenoid baseplate for reversed shoulder arthroplasty by Franck Dordain, MD, Geoffroy Nourrissat, MD, Floris van Rooij, MSc, Mathieu Ferrand, MD, Eric Petroff, MD, Maxime Antoni, MD

“…Mean distance from entry point was −1.1 ± 1.7 mm in the superior–inferior axis, and 0.5 ± 0.9 mm in the anterior–posterior axis. Conclusion: AR-HMD significantly reduces the absolute error between achieved and planned inclination and version of the glenoid baseplate during rTSA, though further studies are required to confirm the benefits of this technology in clinical settings.…”

Enhancing medication error reporting through interprofessional education: analysis of Medwatch reporting accuracy and completion rates between teams and individuals by Aline H. Saad, Rehab Bondok, Farah Sayeg, Brian J. Barnes, Caitlin E. Rukat, Candice Garwood, Diane L. Levine

“…Students agreed that practicing the reporting of an adverse drug event was a useful activity, while pharmacy students (p = 0.014) and teams (p = 0.043) felt more confident reporting an adverse drug event than medical students after this activity. Conclusion Following an IPE training session focused on error reporting, we observed that team-based submission of MedWatch forms resulted in improved completion and accuracy rates. …”
