LANES TO JUSTICE: IMPROVING ENGAGEMENT IN ANTIRACIST EDUCATION AND ACTION
SHM Converge 2022
Background: Racism is a public health crisis impacting patients and healthcare workers. Antiracist education is not typical in undergraduate or graduate medical education curriculum. Discriminatory practices in health care result in worse patient outcomes in Black, Indigenous, & People of Color (BIPOC). Committing to antiracist work is the first step in addressing racism and must […]

ANALYSIS OF CLINICAL CRITERIA TO DETERMINE STABILITY FOR DISCHARGE AMONG PATIENTS HOSPITALIZED WITH COVID-19
SHM Converge 2022
Background: Patients hospitalized with COVID-19 can clinically deteriorate in the second week of illness after a period of initial stability. Thus, an important clinical question is determining when it is safe to discharge these patients from the hospital without overwhelming hospitals’ capacities. Unfortunately, discharge criteria for COVID-19 patients are often based on expert opinion, with […]

DIAGNOSTIC ERRORS IN PATIENTS WHO DIED OR WERE TRANSFERRED TO AN ICU: PRELIMINARY RESULTS FROM THE UPSIDE STUDY
SHM Converge 2022
Background: Diagnostic errors (DE), defined as missed opportunities to make a correct or timely diagnosis based on the available evidence, are a critical but understudied cause of patient harm. While previous efforts have focused on examining the incidence and factors contributing to DEs in ambulatory and emergency room settings, fewer studies have examined incidence of […]

AGE-BASED DIFFERENCES IN THE EFFICACY AND SAFETY OF REMOTE BIOMETRIC MONITORING OF COVID-19 PATIENTS WITH EXERTIONAL HYPOXIA
SHM Converge 2022
Background: Hospitalizations to treat SARS-CoV-2 infected patients have strained health systems worldwide. Monitored outpatient management of select low-risk COVID-19 patients with isolated exertional hypoxia could help preserve hospital resources and reduce costs while aiming to maintain a high standard of care. In this retrospective cohort analysis, we aimed to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of […]

CAUSAL EFFECTS OF EMPIRIC ANTIBIOTICS ON RISK OF CLOSTRIDIOIDES DIFFICILE: A TARGET TRIAL EMULATION COHORT STUDY
SHM Converge 2022
Background: Clostridioides difficile infection (CDI) is a common, often nosocomial infection associated with substantial morbidity and mortality. Antibiotics are the most important modifiable risk factor, but empiric antibiotics remain appropriate for many patients with severe acute illness. Which antibiotics minimize the risk of CDI remains an important unanswered question. Because protective equipment and isolation were […]

RISK STRATIFICATION IN COVID-19 PATIENTS: PERFORMANCE OF POINT-OF-CARE SEVERITY SCORES FOR PREDICTING PROGNOSIS IN EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT PATIENTS PRESENTING WITH COVID-19
SHM Converge 2022
Background: Early risk stratification scores utilizing data available at the bedside have been used regularly to identify patients at greatest risk of poor outcomes from rapidly evolving conditions like sepsis. Little is known about how point-of-care scores developed for sepsis perform at predicting outcomes in large, heterogeneous cohorts of patients with COVID-19. Our objective was […]

A MULTIFACETED INTERVENTION TO REDESIGN SYSTEMS TO IMPROVE TEAMWORK AND QUALITY FOR HOSPITALIZED PATIENTS: QUANTITATIVE RESULTS OF THE RESET STUDY
SHM Converge 2022
Background: Prior studies have tested interventions to redesign aspects of the care delivery system for hospitalized medical patients, but the majority have evaluated the effect of single interventions. We sought to implement a set of complementary interventions and evaluate the effect on interprofessional teamwork and patient safety. Methods: The REdesigning SystEms to Improve Teamwork and […]

A MULTIDISCIPLINARY TEAM APPROACH FOR INCREASING PATIENT PORTAL UTILIZATION
SHM Converge 2022
Background: Patient portal use has been associated with improved patient experience, safety, and health outcomes.1,2 To keep patients better connected to their providers, our institution aimed to expand MyChart utilization. We piloted a standard operating procedure (SOP) to enhance MyChart education and uptake among those admitted to an inpatient general medicine unit. Purpose: Our intervention […]

CHOOSE YOUR OWN ADVENTURE: RESIDENT CLINICAL INFORMATICS CURRICULUM IN PEDIATRICS
SHM Converge 2022
Background: Residents are uniquely positioned to learn from and contribute to informatics. As key electronic health record (EHR) users, they offer practical solutions and feedback. Resident informatics engagement promotes EHR proficiency and accelerates implementation of best practices and quality improvement. Understanding how clinical data are structured creates a foundation for future scientific inquiry using clinical […]

INTEGRATION OF A PREDICTIVE MODELING OF PATIENT EXPERIENCE TO PROACTIVELY IMPROVE CARE
SHM Converge 2022
Background: The HCAHPS survey is used nationally by health systems as a standard to measure the patient experience and identify opportunities for improvement. Historically, process improvement initiatives based on the survey are implemented retroactively, attempting to prevent negative experiences for future patients. However, given the increasing complexity of patient care, proactively addressing the identified concerns […]
