Background: Communication, teamwork, and conflict navigation amongst physician colleagues are core competencies. Yet, how these core elements of professional behavior are enacted in practice remains poorly characterized, and interpersonal interactions continue to be a central source of workplace conflict. While this has been described in the nursing literature, physicians’ experience of conflict with other physician […]

Background: Acknowledging that a successful career in hospital medicine (HM) may require specialized skills, residency programs have developed hospital medicine-focused education (HMFE) programs. Surveys of internal medicine residency leaders have described HMFE curricula but are limited to that specialty and lack input from early career hospitalists (ECHs) who recently completed this training. Therefore, we surveyed […]

Background: Clinical documentation is challenging when patients are admitted with many diagnoses of varying severity. Documentation of chronic or low-acuity conditions on the History and Physical (H&P) note can feel less salient than primary admission diagnoses. This can lead to under-documentation of comorbid conditions and an underrepresentation of the complexity of care. Capturing this overlooked […]

Background: Hospitalized COIVD-19 patients are complex and heterogenous with regards to socio-demographics and comorbidities and many patients are at heightened risk for adverse clinical outcome. Early risk stratification enables clinical decision making for appropriateness and timeliness of interventions. Since the pandemic began, more than 100 models to forecast prognosis for hospitalized patients with COVID 19 […]

Background: Rhode Island was hard hit by the COVID pandemic due to a particularly toxic combination of demographic factors. It is a densely populated state, with a large immigrant population. The populace is older, poorer, and less educated than the rest of New England. At Kent Hospital, in Warwick, Rhode Island, the first case in […]

Background: Scholarly productivity is critical for academic fulfilment and promotion in hospital medicine (HM), but many hospitalists struggle to achieve scholarly success. Protected time (PT) (i.e., non-clinical time that can be dedicated to scholarly activities) is a key facilitator of academic productivity in HM. However, little is known about how PT for scholarship is managed […]

Background: The Acute Care for Elders (ACE) unit is an evidence-based system of acute hospital care starting from admission, designed to maintain or achieve independence and avoid preventable adverse events for older adults. However, little is known about how many ACE units exist and the variety of ways hospitals have implemented this evidence-based clinical model. […]

Background: SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) pandemic continues to remain a global crisis with the emergence of new virulent variants, including the recent spikes in the cases of delta variant. While RT-PCR is the diagnostic test of choice, High-Resolution Computed Tomography (HRCT) chest has been utilized to assess disease severity. We aim to study the association between bilateral […]

Background: Role of vitamin K antagonist (VKA) or Direct Oral anticoagulation (DOAC) for non-valvular atrial fibrillation has widely been discussed. But the literature on anticoagulation therapy for patients with valvular atrial fibrillation (VAF) is limited. Aim of this meta-analysis was to evaluate the outcomes (stroke-vascular events and intracranial bleeding) following DOAC and VKA amongst patients […]

SHM Converge 2022
Background: Duplicate as-needed (referred to hereafter as “PRN”) orders for common indications such as pain, nausea, insomnia, and constipation are frequent in hospitalized patients. Without explicit instructions for circumstances or order of administration, therapeutic duplication can cause confusion for nurses and violates both Join Commission and the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) guidelines.
