Hospitalists typically lack access to credible, timely, and insightful metrics that inform their practice. In addition, individualized metrics, when available, struggle to properly normalize for patient complexity, warranted variations in care, shared decision-making, […]

Despite the demonstrated value of SDM across disciplines, little is known about how to increase SDM in general inpatient settings. We sought to evaluate the effectiveness of an educational bundle on inpatient resident teams’ abilities […]

Background: Health care systems around the country are struggling with faculty and staff burnout. It is established that burnout leads to higher employee turnover and poorer patient outcomes. The Big Read is a hospitalist-led institution-wide initiative in which a large number of faculty/staff/trainees/students are invited to read and discuss the same book within a 3 […]

Background: Engaged healthcare team members are more likely to be satisfied with their job and remain in their organizations (1-3). However, little is known about the effects of burnout on work engagement in hospital nurses. Therefore, we examined the relationship between burnout, work engagement, and job satisfaction in nurses in a tertiary referral hospital. Methods: […]

Hospital Medicine 2017, May 1-4, 2017; Las Vegas, Nev.
Background: One key factor cited in physician burnout discussion is the rigid block scheduling that has become ubiquitous for Hospital Medicine. For years, nursing has allowed self-scheduling to improve work life balance and abate burnout with good success per the literature. Recent commentary by leaders in Hospital Medicine has piqued the interest in further evaluation […]
