A NEW MODEL FOR OSTEOPOROSIS CARE THROUGH A HOSPITALIST-LED FRACTURE LIAISON SERVICE
SHM Converge 2021
Background: Fracture Liaison Services (FLS) are traditionally outpatient-based and led by orthopedists or endocrinologists. In the United States, over 1 million patients are hospitalized yearly with osteoporotic fractures and internal medicine hospitalists are frequently involved in their co-management. Purpose: Internal medicine hospitalists have an integral role in the prompt recognition and early treatment of patients […]

ECOSPOR-III: A PHASE 3 DOUBLE-BLIND, PLACEBO-CONTROLLED RANDOMIZED TRIAL OF SER-109 AN INVESTIGATIONAL MICROBIOME THERAPEUTIC FOR RECURRENT CLOSTRIDIOIDES DIFFICILE INFECTION
SHM Converge 2021
Background: Antibiotics targeted against C. difficile bacteria are necessary, but insufficient, to achieve a durable clinical response because they have no effect on C. difficile spores that germinate within a disrupted microbiome. ECOSPOR-III evaluated SER-109, an investigational, biologically-derived microbiome therapeutic of purified Firmicute spores for treatment of recurrent CDI. Methods: Adults ≥18 years with recurrent […]

MENTAL HEALTH OUTCOMES AFTER HOSPITALIZATION WITH OR WITHOUT COVID-19
SHM Converge 2021
Background: Survivors of hospitalization for COVID-19 are potentially at high risk for subsequent psychiatric morbidity due to medical trauma, systemic inflammation, and potential neurotropism of SARS-CoV-2(1). In addition, social isolation during the hospital stay due to restrictive visitor policies and after discharge due to fears of contagion or stay-at-home orders could further increase psychiatric vulnerability […]

A BUPRENORPHINE PROGRAM FOR HOSPITALIZED PATIENTS WITH OPIOID USE DISORDER INCREASES INPATIENT TREATMENT AND OUTPATIENT FOLLOW-UP IN ADDICTION TREATMENT
SHM Converge 2021
Background: Despite evidence that the use of medications for patients with opioid use disorder (OUD) leads to reduced mortality and improved engagement in outpatient addiction treatment, these life-saving medications are underutilized in the hospital setting. This study reports the outcomes of a hospitalist-led interprofessional and multidisciplinary inpatient program, known as the B-Team (buprenorphine team), to […]

A HOSPITALIST-LED HOSPITAL AT HOME MODEL
SHM Converge 2021
Background: “Hospital at Home” (HaH) models of care have existed for over 20 years in the U.S. Demand for healthcare value has driven renewed attention to HaH, including from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. The COVID-19 pandemic has only magnified consideration of alternative sites of care. Where studied, HaH models have had desirable […]

AN INTENSIVE HIGH UTILIZER INTERVENTION DOES NOT REDUCE HOSPITAL READMISSIONS: THE CHAMP RANDOMIZED CONTROLLED TRIAL
SHM Converge 2021
Background: A small number of patients account for a disproportionate number of hospital readmissions. The Complex High Admission Management Program (CHAMP) is designed to improve care and reduce hospitalizations for frequently readmitted patients. Non-randomized studies of CHAMP found reductions in readmission but may be subject to regression to the mean. We conducted a randomized trial […]

BEST PRACTICES IN PEDIATRIC HOSPITAL CARE DURING THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC
SHM Converge 2021
Background: The COVID-19 pandemic has necessitated rapid changes in healthcare delivery in the United States, including changes in the care of hospitalized children. Our study aimed to identify the major changes in inpatient pediatric healthcare delivery and potential learnings from these changes. Methods: We conducted semi-structured interviews for this qualitative study. We purposefully sampled hospitals […]

DELIRIUM PREVENTION: STRATEGY DEVELOPMENT AND IMPLEMENTATION
SHM Converge 2021
Background: Delirium is a common complication within the hospital setting with nearly one in three older patients experiencing it during hospitalization. Reduction in delirium is associated with decreased falls, decreased distress of patients and caregivers, and decreased length of stay as a result. Identification and reduction of delirium, therefore, is of the utmost importance to […]

IMPLEMENTATION OF A HOSPITAL MEDICINE PROCEDURE SERVICE: 5-YEAR EXPERIENCE OF AN ACADEMIC MEDICAL CENTER
SHM Converge 2021
Background: Procedural complications are a common source of adverse events in hospitalized patients(1, 2). In academic centers, bedside procedures have traditionally been performed by trainees, often without experienced proceduralist supervision, or referred to interventional radiology or consultant services, often with an associated delay in procedure performance. Many trainees report discomfort with their skill in performing […]

MEASURING THE EFFECTIVENESS OF CHOOSING WISELY CAMPAIGN (MC2 STUDY)
SHM Converge 2021
Background: The Choosing Wisely Campaign started in 2012 with the aim of promoting high-value care. On its Choosing Wisely List, the Society of Hospital Medicine cited daily basic metabolic panel (BMP) and complete blood count (CBC) testing in the absence of clinical suspicion as unnecessary practice. Since the implementation of Choosing Wisely, there have been […]
