In healthcare, studies have examined microaggressions’ effect on trainee experience, […]

Hospital Medicine 2017, May 1-4, 2017; Las Vegas, Nev.
Background: Most academic general medical services cover patients across several different care units in the hospital. Studies have shown that de-regionalized care leads to a lack of team cohesion and poor communication between healthcare providers. Prior studies have shown that teamwork improves patient outcomes and increases health care worker satisfaction. However, little information using validated […]

Background: Interdisciplinary clinical rounds at the bedside can promote the core principles of patient- and family-centered care, including promoting respect and dignity, information sharing, and participation by the patient in the care and decision making. However, despite rounding at the bedside, the patient can still be a bystander as the team presents a care plan […]

Background: Hospitals around the country are facing patient flow issues. Late discharges on the inpatient floors are thought to contribute to overcrowding in the emergency department and increased evening admissions (Wertheimer, 2014). This can lead to decreased quality of care, patient satisfaction, and increased length of stay. Some hospitals have attempted to promote early discharges […]

Hospital Medicine 2018; April 8-11; Orlando, Fla.
Background: Communication between patients, nurses and physicians is vital to patient care. Prior studies have shown that a substantial number of hospitalized patients do not understand their care plan and that physician-nurse co-location or time spent communicating have little impact on physician-nurse concordance of plan of care. To our knowledge, there have been no prior […]

Hospital Medicine 2018; April 8-11; Orlando, Fla.
Background: Many hospitalized patients have difficulty understanding what their care team tells them about medications and how to comply with medications. Communication failures about medications can have devastating consequences for hospitalized patients. Patients who report good physician communication, clear directions about how to take their medications, and more medication information are more compliant with their […]

Background: Joint physician-nurse rounding is an important best practice that facilitates communication and patient participation in their care while improving outcomes and satisfaction. Interdisciplinary bedside rounding has been shown to reduce mortality, lengths of stay, medication errors, and readmissions while improving staff engagement, teamwork, and patient experience (1, 2, 3). In 2018, our hospital added […]

Hospital Medicine 2020, Virtual Competition
Background: Communication failures amongst interdisciplinary internal medicine (IM) teams occur often in the inpatient setting, which can inhibit mutual understanding of care plans, increase the potential for medical error, and contribute to patient dissatisfaction. Efforts to enhance interdisciplinary collaborative teamwork within inpatient IM teams highlighted a critical need to address concerns related to communication. Methods: […]

SHM Converge 2023
Background: The Palo Alto VA Hospital has an interdisciplinary Clinical Command Center (C3) that includes “Flow” nurse practitioners (NPs) who work closely with case management, social work and primary medical teams to identify and address barriers to care and assist in discharge planning and coordination. We have created a novel collaboration between a C3 Flow […]

SHM Converge 2024
Background: To date, there are limited reports around the use of well-designed information technology tools to enhance throughput communication during interdisciplinary rounds (IDRs). In collaboration with our technology innovations center, we developed a Microsoft Teams IDR tool known as “NORA.” NORA is an automated process-oriented tool designed to extract patient summary information from electronic health […]
