A RANDOMIZED CONTROLLED TRIAL OF AN EHR-EMBEDDED CLINICAL DECISION SUPPORT TOOL TO PROMOTE SLEEP IN THE HOSPITAL
Hospital Medicine 2020, Virtual Competition
Background: Overnight vital sign assessment can disrupt sleep in the hospital and may be unnecessary in clinically stable patients. However, providers may not feel comfortable determining which patients can safely forego overnight vitals. We studied the effect of a clinical decision support (CDS) tool embedded in the electronic health record (EHR) that automatically identified clinically […]

ASSOCIATION BETWEEN APPROPRIATENESS CRITERIA AND RISK OF COMPLICATIONS IN PATIENTS WITH PERIPHERALLY INSERTED CENTRAL CATHETERS
Hospital Medicine 2020, Virtual Competition
Background: We have previously showed how implementing the Michigan Appropriateness Guide for Intravenous Catheters (MAGIC) to inform peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) use can lead to more appropriate device use. In this analysis, we assessed the association between appropriateness and PICC-related complications. We hypothesized that improved PICC appropriateness is associated with reduced major PICC complications […]

BUILDING PATIENT SAFETY CULTURE USING A MULTI-MODAL STRATEGY INCREASES SELF-REPORTED ‘SAFETY REPORTING’ BY CLINICIANS: A NOVEL METRIC OF SAFETY CULTURE
Hospital Medicine 2020, Virtual Competition
Background: According to AHRQ, patient safety culture refers to the beliefs, values, and norms shared by health care practitioners and other staff throughout the organization that influence their actions and behaviors. Safety reporting (or incident reporting) is an important aspect of safety culture. Safety reporting of adverse events is a valuable epidemiological tool to measure […]

THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN PATIENT HETEROGENEITY, ANTIBIOTIC TIMING, AND THE OUTCOMES OF PATIENTS WITH SEVERE BACTERIAL INFECTION
Hospital Medicine 2020, Virtual Competition
Background: Sepsis, severe sepsis, and septic shock remain important contributors to hospital utilization, morbidity and mortality in the United States. Timely interventions including blood cultures, intravenous crystalloid infusions, and antibiotics make up the 3-hour sepsis bundle which represents current standard of practice, and the target of hospital quality reporting. Many aspects of sepsis care are […]

LEVERAGING PATIENT PARTNERS TO DISSEMINATE A PCORI/NIA-FUNDED POST-HOSPITALIZATION PLANNING TOOL: PLANYOURLIFESPAN.ORG
Hospital Medicine 2020, Virtual Competition
Background: Although many older adults will be hospitalized in their lifetime, most do not consider or plan ahead for their post-hospitalization support needs. When older adults experience a hospitalization, families often must react to the crisis leaving the older adult out of the decision process (e.g. choosing a skilled nursing facility, caregivers). With PCORI funding, […]

Perceptions of Nurse Practitioner and Physician Assistant Interview Candidates Regarding the Incorporation of Simulated Medical Scenarios Into the Hiring Process for Hospital‐Based Positions
Hospital Medicine 2020, Virtual Competition
Background: Hospital practices have increasingly utilized nurse practitioners (NPs) and physician assistants (PAs) to supplement provider support. However, standard interview formats have historically lacked the sensitivity to distinguish candidates with the unique aptitude for the specialty and are subject to biases with inadequate reliability and reproducibility. Medical simulation has been shown to successfully provide a […]

ARE PORTS SAFER THAN PICCS IN PATIENTS WITH CANCER? A SYSTEMATIC REVIEW AND META-ANALYSIS
Hospital Medicine 2020, Virtual Competition
Background: Patients with cancer require reliable venous access for therapy. Although peripherally inserted central catheters (PICCs) and implanted ports are often used to meet infusion needs, risk of complications between these devices is unknown. We did a systematic review and meta-analysis to compare the risk of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), exit-site complications and central line-associated […]

Presumed Versus Confirmed Full Code
Hospital Medicine 2020, Virtual Competition
Background: Many problems exist regarding inpatient code status: advance directives are rarely completed in outpatient and inpatient settings, patients' preferences regarding code status are often not elicited, physicians do not provide adequate information to allow patients to make informed decisions about code status, code status discussions are often delayed during an admission until it is […]

IMPROVING EVIDENCE-BASED THIAMINE PRESCRIBING FOR ALCOHOL USE DISORDER USING ELECTRONIC DECISION SUPPORT IN A LARGE URBAN ACADEMIC MEDICAL CENTER
Hospital Medicine 2020, Virtual Competition
Background: Up to 12% of hospitalized patients require high dose parenteral thiamine treatment to prevent Wernicke’s Encephalopathy, a devastating and easily preventable neurologic disorder that can lead to death. Despite the fact that it is as simple and relatively inexpensive therapy with no known side effects, high dose thiamine continues to be underutilized. Attempts to […]
