Background: POCUS is increasingly being used across medical specialties, and adds value to diagnostic accuracy for numerous pathologies and levels of acuity. Emergency Medicine providers were early adapters, providing examples of how POCUS increases patient satisfaction and diagnostic clarity (1, 2). Internal Medicine and Family Medicine have been slower to adopt this technology; however, general […]

Background: Discharge planning and transition of care (TOC) is a crucial process for inpatient teams hoping to optimize patient experience and outcomes. Feedback from patients prior to leaving the hospital identifies several areas for improvement, as there are often misunderstandings about hospital courses and treatment plans. Such confusion leads to poor TOC. The Hospital Consumer […]

Background: The ACGME instituted duty hour restrictions in 2003, leading to re-organization and re-structuring of resident schedules and educational opportunities. In response to these regulations, many programs, including our institution, initiated night float rotations. After noting decreased resident attendance at didactic sessions due to this model, our institution implemented various interventions to offer educational opportunities […]
