Background: Facilitating safe transitions of care is a common concern for the discharging hospitalist. Telephone calls are the most common method of contact for post-discharge outreach. These are labor-intensive and therefore limited in scope. To better support patients after hospital discharge, we designed and implemented a 30-day automated texting program. In a pilot study, this […]

Background: In hospital medicine, around 250,000 diagnostic errors occur yearly in American hospitals and a significant proportion are attributed to failures in clinical reasoning. Feedback on the diagnostic process has been proposed as one method of improving clinical reasoning. However, in the current healthcare system barriers to the delivery and receipt of feedback include limited […]

Background: Nationwide, hospitals are experiencing high patient volumes, attributed to medical complexity, hospital length of stay, and hospital readmissions, among other factors. In this context, hospitalists’ roles have been expanding to optimize care during and following hospitalization. Post-discharge care is typically managed by primary care providers, and there is sparse information on programs that leverage […]

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 […]

Background: Heart failure (HF) hospital readmissions are a leading cause of US 30-day hospital readmissions. Factors related to clinical complexity and unmet social needs are among the key drivers associated with HF negative clinical outcomes. Digital platforms have shown promise in improving HF outcomes but limitations like patient lack of familiarity with technology and unmet […]

Background: Alcohol withdrawal is a common reason for admission to acute care hospitals. The American Society of Addiction Medicine (ASAM) has proposed that prescription of medications for alcohol use disorder (AUD) and timely outpatient follow-up are important quality measures for inpatient detoxification, but few studies report the frequency of AUD medications and subsequent follow-up for […]

Background: It is common for Inter-Intensive Care Unit (ICU) transfers between hospitals to take place to provide a patient with a higher level of care to improve clinical outcomes. The decision to transfer ICU patients is not standardized and leads to a wide variability in transfer practice patterns. This may lead to higher cost, burden […]

SHM Converge 2024
Background: Existing research describe older adults’ sub-optimal experiences of the hospital to skilled nursing facility (SNF) transition. However, these studies do not explore the causes of these poor experiences and neglect the complex clinical system in which these transitions occur. Therefore, the aims of this study were to identify the causes of patient experiences during […]
