Background: Rapid response teams play an important role in the care of clinically deteriorating patients. Variability in team members, setting, and activation criteria creates unique challenges to studying these teams. The complexities and inefficiencies of rapid responses due to their heterogeneity are poorly understood. Here, we explore opportunities for improved rapid response team efficiency using […]

Background: Patients at high risk for cardiac events often receive telemetry, however, overutilization of cardiac monitoring leads to unnecessary interventions and increased healthcare costs. The American Heart Association (AHA) recommends classification of cardiac risk via symptoms and clinical course for determining telemetry needs as Class I, II, or III from highest to lowest risk respectively. […]

SHM Converge 2021
Background: With increasing numbers of hospitalist attending as well as demands of documentation and supervision, the # of days an attending physician remains with a team has been reduced at many academic medical centers. This reduction in attending physician continuity may impact the learners (teaching, receiving effective feedback) while potentially improving faculty experience (reduced burnout […]

Background: Prior research in the field of academic hospital medicine has used promotion as the measure of success, but little is understood about what motivates individual academic hospitalists or how individuals define career success. Conceptual models of career success from outside healthcare emphasize Compensation, Advancement, Career Satisfaction and Job Satisfaction. This study sought to explore […]

Hospital Medicine 2016, March 6-9, San Diego, Calif.
Background: Internal medicine training programs have been profoundly impacted by changes in resident duty hours, workloads, and supervisory requirements. Consequentially, it has become increasingly important to re-evaluate and re-formulate traditional methods of teaching to maximize the delivery of clinical education, efficiently identifying and taking advantage of learning opportunities where they may exist. Overnight care […]
