Background: The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) publishes core pediatric clinical practice guidelines advising pediatricians on evidence-based management of common diagnoses. However, multiple studies demonstrate poor guideline compliance by pediatricians. There is no published curriculum on how to teach these guidelines, and on a national survey we conducted of pediatric residency training programs, only two […]

Background: Despite efforts to improve the care of hospitalized patients, adverse events remain common. Care is siloed across disparate providers and patients are not engaged in their own care plans. In a collaborative care model, patients, families and providers partner to integrate high-quality care across disciplines to best meet patients’ needs. While support for delivering […]

Background: Teaching Hospitalists provide a large proportion of clinical medical education for Internal Medicine Residents with varying levels of training and success. We sought to identify common habits of highly rated teaching hospitalists in preparation of faculty development. Methods: We surveyed high performing daytime teaching hospitalists at 3 teaching sites across 2 health systems. Paper […]

Background: Increased fragmentation of inpatient medical care requires hospitalists to frequently hand off their patients to other providers. Communication breakdown during transitions of care is a major cause of adverse events. Direct observation of handoff encounters and performance feedback can help providers develop the skills needed to safely transition patients across the health system and […]

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: 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 […]

Hospital Medicine 2016, March 6-9, San Diego, Calif.
Background: The University of California, San Francisco is undergoing many changes in its approach to teaching in both undergraduate (UME) and graduate medical education (GME). As a result, approximately one third of traditional in-class lectures that make up the UME curriculum will need to move to a digital format to accommodate a new curriculum. In […]

Hospital Medicine 2016, March 6-9, San Diego, Calif.
Background: Inpatient handoffs have been recognized as a vulnerable time during a patient’s hospitalization and are widely associated with adverse events and near misses. A variety of strategies have been implemented in order to improve shift handoffs. To date, no study has described how residency program leadership views these strategies, or how the implementation of […]
