STRUCTURED INTER-HOSPITAL TRANSFER HANDOFFS TO PREDICT CARE ESCALATION AND MORTALITY – A PROSPECTIVE STUDY
Hospital Medicine 2020, Virtual Competition
Background: Approximately 1.6 million patients are transferred between hospitals yearly, with disproportionately high cost and mortality.

REDESIGNING END-OF-SERVICE HANDOFFS: A STANDARDIZED APPROACH
Hospital Medicine 2020, Virtual Competition
Background: Given the shift-based nature of modern hospital medicine, block schedules where physicians are on clinical service for a defined period of time are common place. As such, end-of-service handoffs are a routine element of hospital medicine practice. Like handoffs to an overnight cross-covering physician, end-of-service handoffs pose a risk to patients if critical information […]
