TO TEST OR NOT TO TEST: UTILIZATION OF VIRAL PANELS IN ASTHMA, BRONCHIOLITIS, AND PNEUMONIA ACROSS US CHILDRENS HOSPITALS
Hospital Medicine 2020, Virtual Competition
Background: Asthma, bronchiolitis, and pneumonia are common pediatric inpatient diagnoses. Viral testing (VT) is not routinely necessary for these diagnoses as it often does not impact management. Our study objectives for each diagnosis are to; 1) describe trends in VT over the last 5 years including seasonal variation (respiratory season- Oct-March versus non-respiratory season- April-Sept), […]

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 […]
