HOSPITALIST-DRIVEN SUBSPECIALTY CANCER CARE: ESTABLISHING PERSPECTIVES AND PROVIDING FOCUS
Hospital Medicine 2020, Virtual Competition
Background: Management of the hospitalized cancer patient represents unique challenges: delivery of complex, specialized medical management to a growing population, compounded by intense scrutiny of patient preference and goals of care. Historically, these patients have been admitted to a subspecialist’s service, but many institutions have now transitioned to a hospitalist-driven care model. Limited research suggests […]

Hyponatremia in Hospitalized Patients: Interim Physician and Fluid Restriction Data from an Observational, Prospective, Multicenter, Global Hyponatremia Registry
Hospital Medicine 2020, Virtual Competition
Background: Hyponatremia (HN), the most common electrolyte disorder of hospitalized patients, occurs in up to 14.5% of inpatients and is more frequent in the elderly and in patients with multiple comorbidities. HN is associated with a 1.47‐fold increased risk of in‐hospital death and with significantly higher mortality risk following discharge. Readmissions and utilization of health […]

DIFFERENCES IN ANTI-CANCER THERAPY RECEIPT AFTER AN ACUTE CARE HOSPITALIZATION FOR CANCER PATIENTS DISCHARGING TO A SKILLED NURSING FACILITY
Hospital Medicine 2020, Virtual Competition
Background: After discharge from an acute care hospitalization, cancer patients may choose to pursue rehabilitative care in a skilled nursing facility (SNF). Our objective was to examine receipt of anti-cancer therapy, death, readmission, and hospice use of cancer patients who discharge to a SNF compared to those who discharge home or home with home health […]

Implementing Hospital‐Wide Unit‐Based Assignment and Bedside Rounds to Improve Care
Hospital Medicine 2020, Virtual Competition
Background: At this 328‐bed hospital there were 8 hospitalists rounding on up to 9 units per day. This prevented efficient and effective communication with nurses, patients, and families. Physicians spent more than 30 minutes of travel time per day. Length of stay and census per physician were high; patient satisfaction was low. With a deadline […]

THE HOSPITALIST MODEL AND ONCOLOGY: ATTITUDES AND OPPORTUNITIES
Hospital Medicine 2020, Virtual Competition
Background: Hospitalists, rather than primary oncologists, are increasingly caring for hospitalized patients with cancer. High medical acuity, complex psycho-social issues, rapidly evolving cancer treatments, advanced care planning, and end-of-life care make management of this patient population especially challenging. The impact of the oncology hospitalist model of care delivery on clinical quality and oncologists’ work satisfaction […]

IMPROVING CARE DELIVERY TO ONCOLOGY PATIENTS THROUGH A COLLABORATIVE, ADVANCED PRACTICE PROVIDE LED URGENT CARE CLINIC
Hospital Medicine 2020, Virtual Competition
Background: Patients with advanced cancer have high readmission rates, up to 27% in some studies, and represent unique challenges related to transitions of care, complex disease management, and care coordination. Recent efforts have focused on better identification of potentially avoidable readmissions (PARs). One study found that primary reasons for PARs in cancer patients included pre-mature […]
