Hospital Medicine 2020, Virtual Competition
Background: Dyad round means when nurses and doctors do patient round together. When the concept of hospitalist came to health care system, doctors became available 24 hours in the care of patients. Nurses and doctors started doing their patient-rounds individually1 and communicate via electronic medical record (EMR) or other electronic methods.On an average, a patient […]

Hospital Medicine 2020, Virtual Competition
Background: Studies have reported an association of physician burnout with lower patient satisfaction and poor quality of health care. Hospitalists play a large role in inpatient care, however, to the best of our knowledge only one study has examined the association of hospitalist burnout on patient satisfaction but found no significant association. Therefore, the objective […]

Hospital Medicine 2020, Virtual Competition
Background: Multidisciplinary rounding (MDR) is a necessary component to safe and effective patient care and discharge during hospitalization. However, there are many barriers to daily MDR that can limit the effectiveness of the team. An interdisciplinary needs assessment of MDR at our institution revealed poor communication on plan of care and limited understanding of interdisciplinary […]

Hospital Medicine 2020, Virtual Competition
Background: Improving a patient’s experience with the health care system improves outcomes of care. Glickman et al found that higher patient satisfaction is associated with improved adherence and lower inpatient mortality rates. Boulding et al found that higher patient satisfaction was associated with lower 30- day readmission rates for patients with heart failure, acute MI […]
Abstract Number: 41
Hospital Medicine 2020, Virtual Competition
Background: Teamwork is essential to providing safe, effective, patient-centered care. Prior research documented discrepancies in perceptions of teamwork and collaboration among nurses and physicians. However, prior studies have been limited to single sites and academic medical centers. Methods: We conducted surveys of healthcare professionals in 4 hospitals participating in the REdesigning SystEms to Improve Teamwork […]
Abstract Number: 42
Hospital Medicine 2020, Virtual Competition
Background: Discharge planning should begin at the time of admission and, among its many purposes, involves preparing patients for the transition out of the hospital. Unfortunately, many hospitalized patients do not understand or agree with their provider about their discharge plan, including the timing and location of dismissal. When patients and their providers do not […]
Abstract Number: 43
Hospital Medicine 2020, Virtual Competition
Background: Patient-centered communication has been associated with positive patient outcomes such as improved patient understanding and adherence to therapy. Teaching patient-centered care (PCC) and communication throughout a hospital stay, with an emphasis on understanding each patient’s perspective and circumstances, is a focus on one of four general inpatient medicine services at our hospital. We did […]
Abstract Number: 44
Hospital Medicine 2020, Virtual Competition
Background: Nurse-physician teamwork is a critical determinant of outcomes among hospitalized patients. Although improvement interventions have been designed for specific settings (eg, intensive care units and operating rooms), less attention has been given to nurse-physician teamwork in hospital medicine. Therefore, our goal was to assess the quality and effectiveness of interventions for improving nurse-physician teamwork […]
Abstract Number: 45
Hospital Medicine 2020, Virtual Competition
Background: Pulmonary nodules are among the most frequent and medically relevant incidental findings, but are easily overlooked – especially when discovered incidentally during hospitalization. While CT imaging has become an invaluable tool for expedited medical evaluation, its use has been associated with an increasing number of incidental findings, the handling of which creates both medical […]
