Background: The “10 commandments of consultation” were published in 1983 and revised in 2007. Since then, academic medical centers have grown significantly, expanding the number of non-teaching teams. This rapid growth risks straining the current subspecialty consultation services’ teaching and educational models. Overuse of consultations and lack of clarity in the consulting question may increase […]

Background: Interprofessional collaboration (IPC) is vital for high-quality patient care, and effective IPC among medical professionals, especially trainees, is crucial to supporting positive individual and team outcomes. Measuring IPC and understanding its impact on patient care remains underexplored. Understanding which IPC patterns are associated with better patient and individual outcomes will inform how to best […]

Background: By law, patients have prompt access to electronic discharge notes in their charts. Technical language and abbreviations make notes difficult to read and understand for a typical patient. Large language models such as GPT-4 may have the potential to transform these notes into patient-friendly language and format. Our objective was to determine whether GPT-4 […]

Prior studies demonstrate that sharing the estimated discharge date (EDD) early in a patient’s hospitalization can improve communication and […]
