DIWERSE: DIVERSE IDENTITIES AND WORKPLACE EXPERIENCES REPORTED IN SETTING OF HEALTHCARE AND EDUCATION
SHM Converge 2022
Background: Under-representation of women and people of color (POC) in leadership positions has recently gained significant attention, and there are ongoing efforts to enhance their recruitment and advancement. The same intensity of work must be applied to also improve their workplace experiences. Discrimination, bias, and microaggressions are common day-to-day experiences among both POC and women […]

PERSPECTIVES ABOUT COVID-19 AMONG OBESE AFRICAN AMERICANS HOSPITALIZED DURING THE PANDEMIC
SHM Converge 2022
Background: Obesity increases the risk of severe illness, hospitalizations, and death from most acute illnesses – particularly infectious diseases. (1,2) African American communities have been greatly affected by the COVID-19 pandemic and are disproportionately impacted by the obesity epidemic in this country. (3, 4) However, little is known of their knowledge and attitudes related to […]

SAFETY OF INVESTIGATIONAL MICROBIOTA-BASED LIVE BIOTHERAPEUTIC RBX2660 IN INDIVIDUALS WITH RECURRENT CLOSTRIDIOIDES DIFFICILE INFECTION: DATA FROM 5 PROSPECTIVE CLINICAL STUDIES
SHM Converge 2022
Background: Microbiota-based treatments have shown promise to reduce recurrence for recurrent Clostridioides difficile infections (rCDI), but consistent and reliable safety data are needed to support regulatory approvals and broaden patient access. Here we provide cumulative safety data from 5 prospective clinical studies evaluating RBX2660—a standardized, microbiota-based investigational live biotherapeutic—for reducing rCDI. Methods: This analysis included […]

EPIDEMIOLOGY OF NON-ALCOHOLIC FATTY LIVER DISEASE (NAFLD) AMONGST US POPULATION.
SHM Converge 2022
Background: Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD) is defined as the presence of ≥5% of hepatic steatosis (HS) in the absence of other liver disorders, such as chronic viral or autoimmune hepatitis, steatosis induced by drugs, significant alcohol consumption, hemochromatosis, or Wilson’s disease. There is limited literature describing national prevalence and epidemiological characteristics of NAFLD in […]
Abstract Number: A9
A MULTICENTER EXPERIENCE WITH TOCILIZUMAB IN PATIENTS HOSPITALIZED WITH COVID-19 IN THE UPPER MIDWEST
SHM Converge 2022
Background: Elevated proinflammatory cytokines, including IL-6, are associated with significant morbidity and mortality in COVID-19, and it is hypothesized that blocking the inflammatory pathway may prevent disease progression[1]. IL 6 inhibitors were proposed as a treatment option for hospitalized patients to improve patient-centered outcomes[1]. Few studies that investigated the safety of tocilizumab showed heterogeneous results[2,3]. […]
Abstract Number: B1
DISPARITIES IN USE OF STIGMATIZING LANGUAGE FOR BEHAVIORAL ALERTS OF HOSPITALIZED PATIENTS
SHM Converge 2022
Background: Use of stigmatizing language in clinical note documentation is a recognized problem, but such notes may be viewed disparately and irregularly. Whether such language is also used in highly visible behavioral alerts (BAs), which are presented forcefully through push notifications and viewed repeatedly whenever a chart is opened, is unknown. Further, whether BAs with […]
Abstract Number: B2
ASSESSING FOR DIFFERENCES IN OPIOID ADMINISTRATION DURING INPATIENT END-OF-LIFE CARE FOR PATIENTS WITH LIMITED ENGLISH PROFICIENCY
SHM Converge 2022
Background: Patients with limited English proficiency (LEP) experience inferior health outcomes. The end-of-life period represents a particularly vulnerable time for LEP patients who may not receive optimal symptom management due to language barriers and other factors. There is limited data on disparities in provider practices around opioid administration based on patient LEP status, particularly at […]
Abstract Number: B3
INPATIENT UNDERSTANDING OF CARE: CARE TEAM ROLES AND MIXED MESSAGES
SHM Converge 2022
Background: Over the last few decades, roles and specialties in medicine have proliferated, complicating inpatient care. Care teams can include multiple types of clinicians, whose roles and responsibilities may be unclear. This can impact how patients understand who is in charge and various aspects of their care. We sought to examine these questions:1. How well […]
Abstract Number: B4
A SLAM DUNK! “NET ROUNDING” INTERVENTION IMPROVES THE EFFICIENCY OF HOSPITAL MEDICINE TEACHING ROUNDS
SHM Converge 2022
Background: For the academic hospitalist, rounds are the cornerstone of teaching, learning, and patient care. At our institution, a study found that internal medicine residents on the inpatient wards spent an average of 3.4 hours rounding daily. However, most residents and attendings described rounds as “inefficient” and “low value.” With the importance of ACGME work […]
Abstract Number: B5
COVID-19 AND INCIDENCE OF GERIATRIC FALLS AT A LEVEL ONE TRAUMA CENTER
SHM Converge 2022
Background: Falls are the most common cause of nonfatal trauma-related hospital admissions among older adults. The objective of this study was to determine whether the quarantine/lockdown elicited by the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic led to a change in the incidence of falls in geriatric patients between March 2020 – December 2020 compared to March 2019 – December […]
