Hospital Medicine 2020, Virtual Competition
Background: Our hospitalist group has seen a rise in the number of Advanced Practice providers (APP) due to increasing patient workload. The APPs come from varying backgrounds, are within 2 years of graduation and have had little experience in evaluating common emergent and nonemergent presentations on the hospital medicine service. Our current practice is for […]

SHM Converge 2021
Background: With the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic, the need for telemedicine is growing rapidly worldwide. The development and improvement of remote physical examination systems, especially remote cardiopulmonary auscultation are required to facilitate telemedicine. A system combining an electronic stethoscope and Bluetooth connectivity is a promising option for remote auscultation in hospitals and clinics. However, the […]

Hospital Medicine 2017, May 1-4, 2017; Las Vegas, Nev.
Background: The Society of Hospital Medicine considers stroke care to be a core competency in hospital medicine. Hospitalists must be prepared to lead inpatient stroke alerts, as neurologists may not be readily available outside of academic medical centers. However, even graduates of hospitalist training programs may report insufficient experience in leading these complex, time-pressured, high-stakes […]

Hospital Medicine 2016, March 6-9, San Diego, Calif.
Background: Simulation-based procedural training has been shown to improve provider competency and confidence in number of medical specialties, including hospital medicine. To the present, simulation training has largely focused on medical students and residents. Attending hospitalists are a prime target for simulation-based procedural training. Despite recent studies showing patient safety and cost-effectiveness of procedures performed […]

Hospital Medicine 2016, March 6-9, San Diego, Calif.
Background: Despite the current focus on developing handoff training curricula to improve patient safety, rigorous assessments of handoffs remain scarce. Immersive simulations allow for the evaluation of communication skills, but few specifically account for common external threats to effective handoff performance. Our aim was to investigate the effects of these interruptions in an educational handoff […]

SHM Converge 2021
Background: New internal medicine interns are expected to be familiar with bedside procedures such as paracentesis. Medical students frequently have inadequate dedicated time to learn bedside procedures and are taught in a fragmented manner. As a result, new interns lack familiarity with these procedures. As such, we assessed whether a comprehensive module for paracentesis would […]

Background: Advanced practice providers play a significant role in hospital medicine across the country. The 2018 State of Hospital Medicine report from the Society of Hospital Medicine found that 75% of hospital medicine groups include advanced practice providers. At our urban, tertiary care, public hospital, physician assistants (PAs) comprise forty percent of internal medicine ward […]

Hospital Medicine 2018; April 8-11; Orlando, Fla.
Background: Incoming interns must understand the specific culture of safety at their new institution as well as processes that they are expected to know on day 1 of residency. As part of an immersive half-day simulation program for incoming interns called First Night On Call (FNOC), we developed a hypotension Group Observed Standardized Clinical Encounter […]

Hospital Medicine 2018; April 8-11; Orlando, Fla.
Background: The transition from medical student to intern presents a major patient safety concern. Incoming interns must understand the specific culture of safety at their new institution and processes that they are expected to perform on day 1 of residency without direct supervision. We developed an immersive, integrated First Night On Call (FNOC) simulation to […]
