Background: Rich sources of data are available in hospitals, but are often housed in different systems. These include electronic health records (EHRs), physician scheduling software, and existing tools that can be used to electronically contact clinicians. Developing a streamlined way to integrate and connect disparate data has enormous potential for clinical care, operations, and research. […]

Background: Overnight vital sign assessment can disrupt sleep in the hospital and may be unnecessary in clinically stable patients. However, providers may not feel comfortable determining which patients can safely forego overnight vitals. We studied the effect of a clinical decision support (CDS) tool embedded in the electronic health record (EHR) that automatically identified clinically […]

Background: Somatic Symptom and Related Disorders (SSRD) is an umbrella term for a wide variety of disorders commonly encountered in the inpatient pediatric setting, including conversion disorder, amplified pain syndrome, and psychogenic non-epileptiform seizures. These patients can be high utilizers of medical resources. The hospitalist is often charged with ruling out a medical diagnosis and […]

Background: Clinically stable inpatients may receive potentially unnecessary care, such as overnight vital sign assessment. Nighttime vital signs can disrupt sleep and adversely affect patient satisfaction and contribute to delirium. However, it may be difficult for individual clinicians to determine which patients could safely forego overnight vital signs. Purpose: We developed a predictive algorithm designed […]

Background: Facilitating safe transitions of care is a common concern for the discharging hospitalist. Telephone calls are the most common method of contact for post-discharge outreach. These are labor-intensive and therefore limited in scope. To better support patients after hospital discharge, we designed and implemented a 30-day automated texting program. In a pilot study, this […]

SHM Converge 2022
Background: Residents are uniquely positioned to learn from and contribute to informatics. As key electronic health record (EHR) users, they offer practical solutions and feedback. Resident informatics engagement promotes EHR proficiency and accelerates implementation of best practices and quality improvement. Understanding how clinical data are structured creates a foundation for future scientific inquiry using clinical […]

SHM Converge 2022
Background: Despite the widespread use of technology across our daily lives, many processes in the hospital remain manual and labor-intensive. As hospital medicine divisions grow, there is an increasing need for automated and scalable solutions. While many hospitals look to external vendors to provide automated solutions, these often lack customizability and gaps remain. Purpose: To […]
