Background: Despite the current focus on developing handoff training curricula to improve patient safety, rigorous assessments of handoffs remain scarce. Immersive simulations allow for the evaluation of communication skills, but few specifically account for common external threats to effective handoff performance. Our aim was to investigate the effects of these interruptions in an educational handoff […]

Background: The Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) realizes the importance of ambulatory medicine as an integral part of internal medicine (IM) training. Therefore, program requirements specify that at least one third of the training needs to be spent in ambulatory settings. ACGME requires residents to spend between 4 to 8 weeks in emergency […]

Background: The transition of an experienced Registered Nurse into a novice hospital-based Nurse Practitioner (NP) is frequently met with trepidation. The novice NP is often uncertain if s/he possesses the level of clinical competency and scientific knowledge required to provide high quality evidence-based care to complex hospitalized patients. How does one ease the stress associated […]

Background: Self-reflection facilitates the identification of performance gaps and is a critical step in the process of behavior change among physicians. However, little is known about reflection and its relation to behavior change in hospital medicine (HM) continuing medical education (CME). Our objectives were to identify associations between validated reflection scores and characteristics of CME […]

Hospital Medicine 2016, March 6-9, San Diego, Calif.
Background: Medication errors are common, with more than half of patients estimated to have greater than or equal to one unintended medication discrepancy at hospital admission. Medication reconciliation can identify errors. Although there has been significant investigation into the most effective logistical strategies for performing medicine reconciliation within the healthcare system, there is little investigation […]

Background: Health care policy is currently under scrutiny due to health care reform, yet in our experience the majority of house staff have insufficient opportunity to learn about the environment they will soon be practicing medicine in. The ACGME attempts to address this through the Systems-based practice competency, but further guidance is lacking. Purpose: Our […]
