SHM Converge 2024
Background: Administrative harm (AH), defined as negative consequences arising from administrative processes and decisions within healthcare, is pervasive in medicine, yet poorly understood and described. Methods: We sought to explore common AHs experienced by hospitalist clinicians, administrative leaders, researchers, and patient and family advisory council members that were part of two national consortiums for hospitalists […]

SHM Converge 2024
Background: At all academic medical centers, nurses and resident physicians are two prominent front-line contributors to the care of patients. During a patient’s hospital stay, they receive communication regarding their diagnosis, test results, management, and plan of care from both the resident physicians and the nursing staff. Therefore, it is critical to have effective communication […]

SHM Converge 2024
Background: The traditional role of hospitalists is to provide care to patients hospitalized with acute medical conditions. Over the past few years, this has evolved to improve care transitions and stewardship of hospital resources. Many hospitals may embed hospitalists in the Emergency Department (ED) to improve patient flow into the hospital; however, there are sparse […]

SHM Converge 2024
Background: In the pre-operative setting, hospitalized patients are often made “NPO” after midnight prior to their procedure. This practice stems from concerns about aspiration of stomach contents intra-operatively, though many studies have established that fluid intake preoperatively does not increase aspiration or other adverse outcomes (1-10). Preoperative fasting has, however, been associated with adverse outcomes […]

SHM Converge 2024
Background: Academic medical centers and other quaternary hospitals struggle with capacity challenges that manifest in longer ED wait times, delayed or cancelled elective surgical procedures, and delayed transfers from community hospitals[1]. The Hospital at Home model is an obvious and elegant solution to increase capacity[2], but its nationwide implementation has been limited due to lack […]

SHM Converge 2024
Background: Elderly patients have a higher risk of developing aspiration pneumonia and have a higher risk of death if hospitalized for aspiration pneumonia. This study was conducted to confirm the effectiveness of an aspiration prevention program using the Gugging Swallowing Screen (GUSS) for elderly patients hospitalized with acute medical illness. Methods: Starting in April 2021, […]

SHM Converge 2024
Background: Hip fracture (HP) involves bleeding that often requires blood transfusion and it can be life-threatening. Jehovah’s witnesses (JW) refuse blood products (BP) administration because of religious beliefs. Recombinant Human Erythropoietin (rHuEPO) has become an alternative but there are still no guidelines on its use in these situations. Methods: JW patients with HP admitted to […]
