Background: Cost-related medication non-adherence (CRN) is a persistent and serious challenge among the elderly population in the US. For elderly patients with limited economic means at increased risk of hospitalization, CRN may elevate the risk of repeated hospitalizations and emergency department visits, and lead patients into a downward spiral of worse heath and higher non-adherence. […]

Background: Pediatric hospitalists are responsible for providing high quality care in the hospital setting while teaching learners and maintaining a professional learning environment. This skill is rarely taught during medical training. Peer observation is a collaborative tool with potential for mutual benefit; offering the observer an opportunity to learn new strategies and the individual observed […]

Background: The number of hospitalized patients varies significantly throughout the year. Fine prediction of the number of hospitalized patients is essential to provide adequate staffing and quality care. We aimed to identify the factors affecting the number of hospitalized patients and develop a prediction model. Methods: Daily number of hospitalized patients on the medical floor […]

Background: The development of systems that optimize quality of care, reduce costs, and enhance safety is vital to patient care. The VA healthcare system utilizes 27 quality metrics which allow for institutions to assess their performance in these areas, referred to as Strategic Analytics for Improvement and Learning (SAIL). SAIL data includes performance reports regarding […]

Background: Increasing attention has been paid to diagnostic patient safety vulnerabilities, which account for 6 to 17% of hospital adverse events. In 2015, the National Academies of Medicine published a report on diagnostic safety errors, including their causes and evidence to-date on how to intervene to reduce the harm associated with them. In this report, […]

Background: A growing body of evidence suggests that selecting graduating medical students for residency interviews based solely on USMLE scores or clinical grades does not adequately capture the breadth of qualities needed to succeed as a resident as outlined by the ACGME competencies. Step scores have been shown to correlate with ITE scores and boards […]

Background: Sepsis is a leading cause of death among hospitalized patients. Early detection of sepsis has the potential to reduce mortality by facilitating timely evidence-based interventions. Past studies have used electronic health records (EHR) to trigger alerts at the onset of sepsis, or to predict general clinical deterioration. In this study we describe the impact […]

Background: Resistance in learning (RIL) defines a set of attitudes or behaviors demonstrated by learners in an educational setting that result in decreased learning. Literature describes the etiology as multifactorial, including learning environment, characteristics of the learner, and teaching style. Hospitalists often use quality improvement methodology, such as PDSA cycles to improve the clinical care […]

Background: Systematic and real-time gathering of data is central to the feedback loop to help providers guide and continuously improve their practice in a Learning Healthcare System (Figure 1). Despite these worthy goals health systems rely on Electronic Medical Record systems (EMRs) that make the routine collection and analysis of data for providers a laborious, […]

Background: Advance care planning (ACP) helps patients plan end of life care in accordance with their goals and values, but is often performed too late and infrequently. Hospitalists play an important role in delivering ACP for patients admitted for serious illnesses, but often cite competing inpatient priorities, lack of time and training, and uncertainty about […]
