BRINGING THE WEARABLE REVOLUTION INTO THE HOSPITAL: ADAPTATION OF CONTINUOUS VITAL SIGN MONITORING TO THE INPATIENT NON-INTENSIVE CARE SETTING
Hospital Medicine 2020, Virtual Competition
Background: Failure to promptly recognize clinically deteriorating patients in the hospital leads to delays in critical interventions and worse health outcomes. Current standard practice in patient monitoring on most medical-surgical wards involves vital sign assessment at discrete time points, typically every four to eight hours. More frequent or continuous vital sign monitoring has historically been […]

ASK ABOUT WHAT MATTERS: IMPROVING ADVANCE CARE PLANNING DOCUMENTATION FOR HOSPITALIZED PATIENTS USING A NOVEL EHR-BASED TOOL
Hospital Medicine 2020, Virtual Competition
Background: Hospitalists often care for patients with serious illness and commonly review and discuss advance care planning (ACP). Documented ACP conversations can be difficult to access in the electronic health record (EHR) due to the lack of a centralized location for ACP documentation and individual clinician practice variation leading to ACP documentation existing in multiple […]

OPTIMIZING OVERNIGHT CROSS-COVER COMMUNCIATION
Hospital Medicine 2020, Virtual Competition
Background: One of the challenges in hospital medicine is the care of patients overnight, when the primary team is unavailable, and care is being provided by those who are not as familiar with the patient. This is compounded by the high volume of pages at night. At UNC Rex Hospital, these factors resulted in delays […]

PREDICTING OBSERVATION STATUS PATIENTS LIKELY TO STAY LESS THAN 24 HOURS USING A MACHINE-LEARNING-BASED TRIAGE TOOL
Hospital Medicine 2020, Virtual Competition
Background: Observation status was designed to reduce health care costs for patients in need of short hospital stays. CMS suggests that observation care should typically require less than 24 hours, and only rarely last more than 48 hours. However, studies suggest that length of stay for observation patients is often longer than CMS guidance.[1,2] An […]

DISPLAYING MEDICAL INFORMATION IN HOSPITAL ROOMS: BEST PRACTICES FROM HUMAN FACTORS ENGINEERING AND APPLICATION TO DEVELOPING A PATIENT SAFETY DISPLAY
Hospital Medicine 2020, Virtual Competition
Background: There are no guidelines for designing or evaluating fixed-content signs or electronic displays used to communicate patient-related information in hospital rooms. Accordingly, there is the potential for the displayed information to be ignored, misinterpreted, or distracting in the complex hospital room environment where patients, nurses, and physicians change frequently. Purpose: To address this shortcoming, […]

Helicobacter Pylori As a Possible Precipitant of Immune Thrombocytopenia Purpura
Hospital Medicine 2020, Virtual Competition
Case Presentation: A 28‐year‐old previously healthy Hispanic man presented for evaluation of bleeding gums and rash. Four days prior he noted mild fatigue, cough, headache, and subjective fever consistent with an upper respiratory tract infection.
