“Things We Do for No Reason™” is one of my favorite campaigns. The aim is to review practices that have become common place in hospital care but provide little value. At times, providers are so stuck in ‘this is how we’ve always done it’ that they fail to see the harm. One of my favorites is NPO past midnight. Arbitrary and low-value. Get rid of it. (Similar to restricting birthing people from eating.)
