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: New ACGME Core requirements require active resident engagement in patient safety. Our institution’s most recent AHRQ Culture of Safety survey revealed poor ratings from residents for closed-loop feedback on event reports they had submitted. Since hospitalists are well-positioned to foster improvement in the culture of safety, we developed an interprofessional intervention in response. Purpose: […]

Background: Interprofessional rounds have the potential to improve patient safety, quality, and experience. Although increasingly implemented, significant variation in rounding practice patterns exist and few data are available to evaluate impact on patients’ experiences. We implemented a novel inpatient collaborative care (CC) model, which includes interprofessional rounds, and also purposely integrates patients and families into […]

Background: Evidence is equivocal that unit-based interventions improve quality on inpatient medical services, but most studies have reported their effect in isolation. These interventions may be better conceptualized as complementary components of a redesigned clinical microsystem. A clinical microsystem is defined as the small group of people who work together in a defined setting on […]

Background: Studies show that nurses and physicians often have different perceptions of the quality of interprofessional communication. An important part of daily communication between physicians and nurses involves patients’ clinical plan of care for each day (‘care plan’). We conducted a study examining hospitalist and nurse perceptions of communication of shared patient care plans. Methods: […]

Background: It is imperative for Physician Assistant (PA) students to be exposed to hospital medicine as 40% of practicing PAs identify the hospital as their principal clinical practice setting (1). Many of these rotations were cancelled due to the COVID-19 Pandemic, negatively impacting the 70% of PA programs not affiliated with an academic medical center […]

Background: Food insecurity (FI) is “the limited or uncertain availability of nutritionally adequate and safe foods or…to acquire acceptable foods in socially acceptable ways.” FI, a social determinant of health (SDOH), is associated with worse health, education, and socioeconomic outcomes. A validated 2-question survey with high sensitivity and specificity in identifying food insecure families exists. […]

Background: Healthcare systems need formal processes for recognizing achievements in healthcare improvement to support promotion. To aid in the recognition of faculty members’ contributions to healthcare improvement, institutions have begun to use portfolios to document and highlight an individual’s achievements and successes. All healthcare professions contribute to healthcare improvement. Yet, existing healthcare improvement portfolios have […]

Background: Interprofessional teamwork in healthcare organizations is crucial to the delivery of quality patient care. Efforts to improve teamwork on hospital medicine units commonly fail due to clinicians and other care team members (case managers and pharmacists) are responsible for patients scattered across numerous floors and units. UK HealthCare developed and implemented the Interprofessional Teamwork […]

Background: Interprofessional education (IPE) has been shown to enhance knowledge, skills, and collaborative attitudes among healthcare providers, while also improving patient outcomes. While IPE is becoming more common in undergraduate medical education, many graduate medical education (GME) programs currently lack formal curricula. Those GME curricula that involve experiential learning have focused largely on the nursing […]
