Background: Interhospital transfers are shown to be associated with increased length of stay (LOS), mortality, and discharge to facility.[1,2] Delirium has been associated with similar outcomes.[3] Our prior data showed that interhospital transfers had 1.91 times the risk of delirium when compared to ED admissions. We hypothesized that an interaction between admission source, namely interhospital […]

Background: The period immediately following discharge from a hospital admission is a vulnerable time for patients. Preventable adverse outcomes occur here for various reasons: discontinuity between hospitalists and primary care physicians, changes to medication regimens, and complex discharge instructions [1]. Many of these precipitating factors can be avoided by effective exchange of health information and […]

SHM Converge 2022
Background: Morbidity and Mortality (M&M) conferences are common practice among internal medicine (IM) residency programs, but their effect on education and patient safety (PS) is inconsistent.[1,2] Existing research reports have struggled to identify best practices for implementing M&M conferences due to inherent variability in personnel and adverse event analysis processes. We need interventions that account […]

SHM Converge 2022
Background: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is condition associated with increased risk of death in multiple populations (1). The association between AF and COVID-19 infection has started to be explored, but largely in specific geographic locations and/or within the context of the hospitalization (2). By understanding the relationship between COVID-19 and AF, providers may be better supported […]
