We recognized a need for multiple levels of leadership beyond the immediate chief and director of clinical operations. Our team, like most hospital medicine groups, is comprised […]

Background: Procedural complications are a common source of adverse events in hospitalized patients(1, 2). In academic centers, bedside procedures have traditionally been performed by trainees, often without experienced proceduralist supervision, or referred to interventional radiology or consultant services, often with an associated delay in procedure performance. Many trainees report discomfort with their skill in performing […]

Background: High levels of interprofessional collaboration and communication have been shown to lead to better patient safety outcomes, improved patients’ satisfaction and quality of care, as well as higher job satisfaction for doctors and nurses alike. Yet, challenges to nurse-doctor collaborations exist. One way of improving interprofessional collaboration may be through structured co-teaching by nurses […]

Background: Nationally, internal medicine (IM) residency programs have been struggling with the balance of protecting residents from exposure to COVID-19, ensuring they are sufficiently trained in general medicine while still teaching them about a new disease process and preparing them to help fight the pandemic (1). Anxiety is common amongst providers in a pandemic, especially […]

Background: A growing body of evidence supports the use of point of care ultrasound increasingly as augmentation of the physical exam and clinical decision making. The literature also supports that trainees, both medical students and residents, can acquire these skills. However, there is no consensus on the training approach and development of competency for hospitalists […]

Background: Due to the importance of rest for inpatients, the American Academy of Nursing recommends preserving patient sleep by reducing unnecessary nocturnal care as part of their Choosing Wisely® campaign. Prior sleep-promotion interventions often fail due to lack of sustained staff behavior change. We designed and implemented SIESTA, which combined staff education with the behavioral economics […]

Background: In 2015, medical students in their clinical clerkships (traditionally known as third year medical students) began rotating directly with hospitalist attendings. As we began crafting the rotation, we sought to provide value that was not leveraged elsewhere in their clerkships. Different organizations, including the Liaison Committee on Medical Education and Association of American Medical […]

Background: Over the last several years we have seen the rapid growth of the specialty of hospital medicine across the country. One of the unintended consequences of this expansion has been the decrease in direct teaching responsibilities of the medical subspecialists on the inpatient medical teaching services. As these responsibilities have been subsumed by our […]

Background: In 2016, ACGME’s first Clinical Learning Environment Review (CLER) report found that trainees had limited knowledge of Quality Improvement (QI) and patient safety (PS) concepts.. Purpose: We have designed a free, interactive, web-based game named SafetyQuest (http://safetyquest.stanford.edu) to teach QI and PS concepts. Objectives include: 1) Increasing knowledge regarding actions to promote safety such […]

Abstract Number: 2
SHM Converge 2024
Background: Although hospitals should be a place of healing and restoration, multiple studies demonstrate that hospitalized patients face acute sleep deprivation due to potentially modifiable disruptions (vitals, medications, tests). Acute inpatient sleep deprivation is also associated with worse health outcomes both in-hospital and post-discharge. While staff-directed sleep interventions show benefits, no study has tested whether […]
