Background: Discussion of medical errors in patient care is often not formally taught in most residencies or medical schools. Yet the skill set needed for addressing patient adverse events when they occur and preventing similar occurrences in the future is instrumental for the practice of medicine. A Morbidity and Mortality Conference (M&M) is one way […]

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: Family centered rounds (FCR) was first defined by Sisterhen in 2007 as “interdisciplinary work rounds at the bedside in which patient and family share in the control of the management plan as well as in the evaluation of the process itself.”1 Since then, recognition of the benefits of FCR have led to widespread adoption. […]

Background: In May 2022, Kaiser Permanente introduced “Enhanced Recovery Medical” (ERM). Modeled after “Enhanced Recovery After Surgery,” (ERAS), ERM aims to reduce hospital-acquired debility. Predefined ordersets and modified workflows help healthcare teams optimize elements key to recovery: nutrition, mobility, tethers, pain, sleep, and delirium. This ongoing quality improvement (QI) project examines how a resident-led initiative impacted co-resident […]

Background: CSD’s are an integral component of the inpatient admission process. However, despite their importance, CSD’s are not performed during all admissions. Residents physicians, who are at the forefront of the admission process, are rarely given formal education in the proper way to conduct a CSD, a topic seldom taught in medical schools or residency […]

Background: Healthcare costs are a challenge; for the greatest impact, high-value care education should begin early in residency training. Routine lab ordering for hospitalized patients is a well-known cause of high costs. This study utilized multiple interventions to decrease the number of BMPs, CMPs and CBCs ordered by residents on the inpatient medicine service. The […]

Background: Discharging patients in an efficient manner improves patient satisfaction and hospital throughput. In this project, we sought to improve patient throughput as well as benefit resident education. Prior to our project, 75% of patient discharges were delayed more than two hours after the patient was determined to be medically ready for discharge; 21% were […]

Background: The practice of routinely ordering daily labs not based on clinical indication on patients in the hospital is a wasteful clinical practice. Routine daily labs can also lead to patient harm by causing pain and iatrogenic anemia, and can burden laboratory staff resulting in increased lab reporting times. Raising awareness about unnecessary lab orders […]

Background: Effective feedback is essential for learners to develop skills needed to provide quality patient care and to work productively on teams. Hospitalists supervising students and residents are an important source of feedback, yet must balance teaching with the demands of direct patient care and other non-clinical obligations. 84% of 812 hospitalists in a national […]

SHM Converge 2024
Background: For the past 4 years, we have taught PGY-2 residents basic skills in lung, cardiac, abdominal, and vascular POCUS based on national courses. Current methods of assessing POCUS skills focus on image acquisition and image interpretation without clinical context, however using POCUS for patient care requires the clinician to integrate their findings to a […]
