PROJECT DRIVE: DECREASING REDUNDANT AND IRRELEVANT VITALS EVERYDAY
Hospital Medicine 2020, Virtual Competition
Background: Assessing vitals at regular intervals can be disruptive to a patient’s rest and unnecessary if the patient is clinically stable. These interruptions may lead to impaired sleep, parental fatigue and anxiety, delayed discharge, and increased cost of care. Moreover, alarm fatigue has been described with over-monitoring of patients, as has the overuse of staff […]

LOST IN TRANSLATION: OVERCOMING LANGUAGE BARRIERS BY PARTNERING WITH LANGUAGE SERVICES
Hospital Medicine 2020, Virtual Competition
Background: The Limited English Proficiency (LEP) population is at higher risk of receiving poorer care and worse health outcomes compared to their English-speaking counterparts. Interpreters should be utilized to help improve these encounters, but physicians are rarely trained on how to work with interpreters effectively. This is reflected in a prior study showing that residents […]

POTENTIAL APPLICATION OF CURRENT GUIDELINE-DIRECTED HOSPITAL ACQUIRED VENOUS THROMBOEMBOLISM PROPHYLAXIS ON HOSPITALIZED CHILDREN
Hospital Medicine 2020, Virtual Competition
Background: Pediatric venous thromboembolism (VTE), although less common than in adults, is increasingly recognized as a significant and preventable cause of morbidity and mortality. There are no universal pediatric VTE guidelines, although the American College of Chest Physicians (ACCP) limits prophylaxis recommendations to a limited set of risk factors. Multiple centers have published institutional guidelines […]

Background: Each year, 14 million Americans are diagnosed with HPV and 33,700 Americans are diagnosed with a cancer caused by HPV. The HPV vaccination can prevent 92% of these cancers. In 2018 only 42.74% of adolescents in Wisconsin ages 13-18 had completed the HPV series and only 56.47% had received the first dose. Hospitalization represents […]

SCHEDULE-BASED FAMILY-CENTERED ROUNDS: A QUALITY IMPROVEMENT INITIATIVE TO IMPROVE ROUNDS EFFICIENCY AND NURSING PRESENCE
Hospital Medicine 2020, Virtual Competition
Background: Family-centered rounds on our pediatric hospital medicine teaching service, which cares for patients in multiple units throughout the hospital, are often prolonged with unpredictable progression. This contributes to inconsistent nursing participation, inefficiencies in patient care, and variable end times. Through the implementation of scheduled-based rounding, our aims were to: 1) start 90% of rounds […]

OPTIMIZING MEDICATION ADMINISTRATION TO IMPROVE SLEEP IN HOSPITALIZED CHILDREN
Hospital Medicine 2020, Virtual Competition
Background: Rest is critical to healing, yet a child’s sleep during an inpatient hospital admission is often disrupted. One such disruption is oral medication administration, which is commonly scheduled around the clock (q6h, q8h, q12h) by default, despite comparable efficacy during waking hours. Previous studies suggest that flexible medication times help inpatients sleep longer and […]
