Background: Medicare patients account for over 50% of hospital days and over 30% of all hospital discharges in the United States. The number of healthcare providers with specialized geriatric training dedicated to the care of hospitalized vulnerable older adults is currently insufficient. The growth of the hospitalist movement has become the key strategy for providing […]

USING PARTICIPATORY RESEARCH METHODS TO UNDERSTAND AND IMPROVE INTERDISCIPLINARY COMMUNICATION IN THE HOSPITAL SETTING
Hospital Medicine 2020, Virtual Competition
Background: Communication failures amongst interdisciplinary internal medicine (IM) teams occur often in the inpatient setting, which can inhibit mutual understanding of care plans, increase the potential for medical error, and contribute to patient dissatisfaction. Efforts to enhance interdisciplinary collaborative teamwork within inpatient IM teams highlighted a critical need to address concerns related to communication. Methods: […]

Self‐Assessed Discharge Readiness and Readmission
Hospital Medicine 2020, Virtual Competition
Background: Press–Ganey survey data suggest that low self‐assessment of discharge preparedness is associated with hospital readmission. However, Press–Ganey data are collected after hospitalization, limiting the ability to respond to concerns. The intent of this project was to implement a predischarge patient satisfaction survey to determine if there was an association between low self‐assessed discharge readiness […]

WORKING SMARTER, NOT LONGER: CREATING HIGH-PERFORMING MULTIDISCIPLINARY ROUNDING TEAMS ON FOUR INPATIENT SERVICE LINES
Hospital Medicine 2020, Virtual Competition
Background: Multidisciplinary rounding (MDR) is a necessary component to safe and effective patient care and discharge during hospitalization. However, there are many barriers to daily MDR that can limit the effectiveness of the team. An interdisciplinary needs assessment of MDR at our institution revealed poor communication on plan of care and limited understanding of interdisciplinary […]

WALK IT OFF!!! INCORPORATING PHYSICAL THERAPY INTO INTERDISCIPLINARY HUDDLES REDUCES ALOS OF PATIENTS DISCHARGED TO SUBACUTE REHABILITATION FACILITY
Hospital Medicine 2020, Virtual Competition
Background: There is a paucity of literature examining length of stay for medical patients requiring discharge to subacute rehabilitation facilities (SAR). At our institution, this subset of patients had an average length of stay (ALOS) of 8.2 days while medical patients being discharged to home had ALOS of 4.2 days during the first half of […]

AN INTERDISCIPLINARY, COLLABORATIVE APPROACH TO EARLY DISCHARGE: IMPLEMENTATION OF A SCALEABLE SOLUTION
Hospital Medicine 2020, Virtual Competition
Background: Late afternoon hospital discharges contribute to admission delays, leading to occupancy increase and increased length of stay. However, prominent workplace barriers often exist towards improvement initiatives that target early discharge. Team members cite timing of rounds, absence of early discharge support resources, communication breakdowns, and increased daytime admission volume as barriers to change. Furthermore, […]
