Hospital Medicine 2018; April 8-11; Orlando, Fla.
Background: Feedback and teaching are critical to the development of clinical skills. Although they occur with regularity on medical wards, learners infrequently recognize them (Kogan et al. 2000). Feedback has been defined as providing information related to a learner’s performance that is intended to guide future thinking and behavior (Ende 1983, Shute 2008); while teaching […]

Background: Peer observation and feedback (POF) is a well-documented tool for faculty development for both medical and non-medical educators. However, in our hospital medicine division of over 150 faculty at an urban academic center, only 16 peer observations were completed in the 2022-2023 academic year as part of our division’s voluntary, formally structured peer observation […]

Background: Development of diagnostic reasoning is a critical component of medical education, and feedback related to clinical outcomes is an important means of calibrating one’s diagnostic decision-making. The hospital is a key training ground for the development of skills in diagnostic reasoning. However, given the multiple provider handoffs that now occur during the care of […]

Background: Sickle cell disease (SCD) affects about 100,000 people in the US. The disease causes significant mortality, morbidity and frequent hospitalizations secondary to primary manifestations of the disease and its complications. We conducted a retrospective, single institution study in adult patients (pts), ≥ 18 years with SCD to assess factors associated with health care utilization […]

Background: Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors and angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs) are commonly-used antihypertensives which, despite renoprotective properties, can contribute to acute kidney injury (AKI)(1). Iodinated contrast media may also precipitate AKI, namely contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN), which has been associated with adverse patient outcomes(1–3). ACE inhibitors and ARBs are often held in the setting of iodinated […]

Hospital Medicine 2019, March 24-27, National Harbor, Md.
Background: Entrustable Professional Activities (EPAs) are fast becoming the framework to assess medical student preparedness to deliver safe, high quality care. The hospital ward environment leads to highly variable teaching and evaluation of EPAs. Accordingly, we felt that the controlled teaching environment found in simulation (SIM) along with a standardized checklist with trained faculty would […]

Hospital Medicine 2017, May 1-4, 2017; Las Vegas, Nev.
Background: In 2011, sepsis accounted for more than $20 billion (5.2%) of total US hospital costs. The CDC estimates that hospitalizations for sepsis or septicemia increased from 621,000 to 1,141,000 in 2000 and 2008 respectively. Severe sepsis has an in-hospital mortality rate of 28.6-37.7%, and those who survive may face a difficult recovery including long-term […]

Hospital Medicine 2017, May 1-4, 2017; Las Vegas, Nev.
Background: In Canada, as in the US, hospital medicine has become an increasingly important staffing model innovation. Canadian hospitalists are typically Family Physicians and General Internists. In an attempt to advance its hospitalist staffing model into a care model innovation as well, the Regina Qu’Appelle Health Region (RQHR) implemented Canada’s first Accountable Care Unit (ACU) […]

SHM Converge 2022
Background: Communication with consultant teams is critical to the hospitalist workflow, especially in hospitals with multiple levels of hierarchy due to varying training backgrounds and experiences. We aimed to increase knowledge of the communication dynamic between hospitalists and consultant attendings in medical and surgical specialties. Methods: We surveyed Emory Division of Hospital Medicine physicians and Advanced Practice Providers to assess interactions with consultant attendings. Surveys […]

SHM Converge 2022
Background: Distrust of the healthcare system is longstanding in Black communities. This may especially threaten the health of the population when a highly contagious infection strikes. Perceptions, knowledge, and personal safety practices related to COVID-19 are unknown among hospitalized Black patients who distrust the healthcare system. Methods: Black patients hospitalized patients were surveyed between November […]
