A Survey of Academic Hospitalists' Quality Improvement Activities
Hospital Medicine 2020, Virtual Competition
Background: Effective quality‐improvement (QI) collaborations among physicians, nurses, and managers have been shown to improve health care outcomes. Thus, participation in QI activities is considered a core competency for practicing hospital medicine. Despite this, physician engagement in QI activities has been limited. One reason for limited participation by physicians may be that physicians may lack […]

Optimizing Inpatient Anticoagulation and Management of Venous Thromboembolism: A Hospitalist–Pharmacist Initiative
Hospital Medicine 2020, Virtual Competition
Background: Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is a common inpatient condition, managed with high‐risk anticoagulants. VTE management is often suboptimal. Inpatient anticoagulation teams improve anticoagulation processes and outcomes, but many centers (including ours) lack this resource. Diverse health care systems would benefit from alternative methods to optimize VTE management in the absence of an anticoagulation team. Methods: […]

REGIONAL VARIATION IN OUTCOMES AND HEALTHCARE UTILIZATION IN EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT VISITS FOR SYNCOPE
Hospital Medicine 2020, Virtual Competition
Background: The approach to managing and admitting patients with syncope in an emergency setting lacks standardization. Our study aims to investigate how regional variation in management of emergency department (ED) patients presenting with syncope impacts outcomes and resource utilization in this patient population. Methods: We used the 2006 to 2014 Nationwide Emergency Department Sample to […]

IMPLEMENTATION OF AN EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT HOSPITALIST SERVICE IN AN URBAN ACADEMIC MEDICAL CENTER
Hospital Medicine 2020, Virtual Competition
Background: In many urban hospitals, Emergency Department (ED) crowding and patient boarding is an increasing challenge. Admitted patients often spend prolonged periods of time in the ED while waiting for an inpatient bed. These ED boarded patients can have delayed or inadequate care, increased adverse events and increased mortality. Furthermore, these ED boarded patients place […]

Vancomycin and Linear Iga Bullous Dermatosis
Hospital Medicine 2020, Virtual Competition
Case Presentation: Linear IgA bullous dermatosis is a rare autoimmune blistering disorder. Most cases are idiopathic but medications, infections and malignancies have also been reported. Although a variety of medications have been implicated in drug‐induced linear IgA bullous dermatosis, vancomycin is the most common associated drug. We present an 80‐year‐old woman with squamous cell cervical […]

STUDENT-RUN FREE CLINIC ACCESS AND EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT USE AMONG ADULTS, A CROSS-SECTIONAL STUDY
Hospital Medicine 2020, Virtual Competition
Background: Preventable ED visits account for 20-50% of ED visits. (1, 2) Though student-run free clinics (SRFCs) could play an important role in decreasing unnecessary utilization, current ED utilization in SRFCs and risk factors have not been described. Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional study of patients receiving care at a student-run free clinic. We captured […]
