Background: Hip fractures are one of the most common causes for surgery in the elderly and the burden of care extends beyond the perioperative period as many are discharged to a long-term facility and have significant morbidity and mortality despite advances in perioperative care. To date, trials of interventions and standardized multidisciplinary hip fracture programs […]

Background: Interdisciplinary rounding at the bedside is associated with improvements in patient flow metrics, interdisciplinary communication, and patient perception of teamwork among care team members. At UC San Diego Health, FIT (Focused Interdisciplinary Team) Rounding has been the standard of care on seven diverse patient care units since 2017. However, with the arrival of the […]

Background: Communication between team members is fundamental to providing high quality care to hospitalized patients (1). Breakdowns in communication lead to compromised patient safety, delays in care, and poor utilization of resources (2). Our Veterans Affairs (VA) hospital has about 200 inpatient beds, primarily staffed by resident physician teams. Bedside nurses use the admission order […]

Background: Improving the quality and safety of the care provided is the some of the most essential and critical work done in hospitals today. In the current system of health care education, health care professionals are often trained on improvement methodology. Several methodologies are provided as improvement frameworks in our health care professional schools around […]

Background: Emergency Department (ED) boarding is associated with increased patient morbidity and mortality and low patient and provider satisfaction. Reducing inpatient Length of Stay (LOS) is one strategy to increase inpatient capacity and reduce ED boarding. Delay in obtaining Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) results is associated with an increase in LOS in the inpatient setting. […]

Background: As the prevalence of patients admitted with a diagnosis of acute decompensated heart failure rises, hospitalists are at the forefront of delivering care for this complex patient population. Heart failure (HF) exacerbations are one of the leading causes of hospitalizations with high rates of readmissions and associated mortality. Evidence based studies show that optimizing […]

Background: Interdisciplinary rounding at the bedside is a recognized practice for improving patient care, communication, and teamwork. The Focused Interdisciplinary Team (FIT) Rounding model at UCSD has been in place since 2017. Since its implementation, our focus has been on sustaining the standardization of rounding practices and monitoring the impact of FIT on care quality […]

Background: Hospitals continue to experience pressures to optimize efficiency and quality outcomes and to reduce practice variation. In surgical patient populations, the Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) pathways have been shown to reduce length of stay, postoperative complications, hospital readmissions, and cost by integrating multidisciplinary, evidence-based interventions throughout the perioperative period (1). A similar model […]
