Background: Effective feedback is essential for learners to develop skills needed to provide quality patient care and to work productively on teams. Hospitalists supervising students and residents are an important source of feedback, yet must balance teaching with the demands of direct patient care and other non-clinical obligations. 84% of 812 hospitalists in a national […]

SHM Converge 2023
Background: At our institution, an interprofessional (IP) hospital team consisting of a hospitalist, pharmacist, and nurse practitioner, meets with IP teams from local skilled nursing facilities (SNFs) in a weekly teleconference to discuss patients recently discharged from the hospital to the SNFs. The purpose is to identify and reconcile gaps in care during patients’ transitions. […]

Background: The Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) requires residency programs to collect work hour data from trainees, with strict policies that no trainee should exceed an 80-hour work week (on average). Evaluating efforts to reduce work hours frequently relies on self-reported hours from trainees, which is subject to recall bias, inconsistency, and variable […]

Background: The Alliance for Academic Internal Medicine and the American College of Physicians have acknowledged the importance of POCUS in internal medicine for diagnosis and procedural guidance and support its integration into graduate medical education. There are no current standards for the content or structure of a POCUS curriculum. As a result, institutions looking to […]

Background: Point-of-care ultrasound training programs (POCUS) have proliferated, but the best method of skills assessment remains unclear. Most published testing protocols assess only image acquisition and interpretation. In a clinical scenario, recognizing an indication for POCUS, selecting the appropriate exam, integrating findings with the other data from the case, and formulating a differential diagnosis and […]

Background: Cross cover as a new intern can be daunting. A 2019 survey of interns across medical specialties showed the majority had no formal cross cover training or experience and felt unprepared to serve in this role. (1) Residencies have been increasing night float experiences and cross cover roles with careful attention to assure duty […]

SHM Converge 2023
Background: Microaggressions (MA) are everyday verbal, nonverbal and environmental slights, snubs or insults whether intentional or unintentional, which communicate hostile messages to marginalized people. Microaggressions have been increasingly recognized as harmful to learners in clinical settings, creating a stressful work environment that unfairly erodes learners’ well-being and ability to succeed. Purpose: Our purpose was to […]

SHM Converge 2023
Background: Co-managed care models have become increasingly popular as a result of their positive impact on patient care. This has been seen through improvement in quality metrics such as readmission, LOS, and adherence to evidence-based care pathways. Surgical hospitalist models have paved the way for new collaborative models that standardize care and optimize inter-specialty communication. […]

SHM Converge 2023
Background: Medication reconciliation (MR) is foundational to patient safety during and after a hospital admission. Although many electronic health records (EHRs) have a dedicated space for documenting home medications on admission, use of such EHR sections remains variable. Providers may opt to record the MR only in the admission H&P, which is not easily updated […]

SHM Converge 2023
Background: Morbidity and Mortality (M&M) conferences are ubiquitous among internal medicine (IM) residency programs, but often fail to improve patient safety and foster learning.1,2 One key determinant of a successful M&M conference is the choice of patient safety event (i.e. M&M case) that is analyzed or presented. However, the characteristics of an effective M&M case […]
