Background: Enhanced physician-nurse collaboration improves patient outcomes. Current interprofessional clinical learning environments, however, rarely engage physicians with nurses and are not based on high-performance team frameworks. Therefore, leaders at the University of Chicago Medicine developed the Improving GME Nursing Interprofessional Team Experiences (IGNITE) program to engage interprofessional healthcare teams, with hospitalist coaches, in institutional performance […]

Background: Burnout among hospital medicine providers is well known. Advanced practice providers (APPs) are well-established in hospital medicine but there is a lack of data on burnout specific to the physician-APP model. As more hospitalist groups staff a physician-APP model, identifying contributors to burnout is key for ensuring career sustainability. Our academic hospital medicine group […]

Background: The nature of the Advanced Practice Provider (APP) and attending physician (MD) relationship is that of trust, mutual respect, and delegation. In U.S. territories where MD supervision or oversight of APP practice is required by law, MDs are left to trust and delegate patient care tasks and authority to their collaborating APPs while sharing […]

Background: Delirium affects 20-60% of the general hospitalized patients, and up to 85% of intensive care unit (ICU) patients. Its occurrence is associated with higher morbidity and mortality, long-term institutionalization, worse long-term cognitive outcomes, and increased hospital length of stay and costs. It is often missed due to lack of standardization in assessment and diagnostic […]

Background: Discharging patients in an efficient manner improves patient satisfaction and hospital throughput. In this project, we sought to improve patient throughput as well as benefit resident education. Prior to our project, 75% of patient discharges were delayed more than two hours after the patient was determined to be medically ready for discharge; 21% were […]
