Background: An increasing amount of literature demonstrates the detrimental impact of discrimination and microaggressions at personal and institutional levels in the healthcare workplace (1-5). Confronting these displays of bias involves a multifaceted approach across professional disciplines and hierarchies. Residency is a time when physicians experience and learn to navigate bias (6). To address this, we […]

Documentation of chronic or low-acuity conditions on the History and Physical (H&P) note can feel less salient than primary admission diagnoses. This can lead to under-documentation of comorbid conditions and an underrepresentation of the complexity of care. Capturing this overlooked […]

There is limited data to guide pain management in this population due to high prevalence of opiate tolerance and variance in daily opiate exposure. There is a need to establish a safe and effective pain medicine regimen in the hospital that stratifies opiates based on […]

Background: With the broad implementation of electronic health records, clinical documentation integrity continues to be under increasing scrutiny. On average, physicians spend over a third of their time documenting patient data¹; this burden has been extensively correlated to burnout². Leveraging automated note templates with integrated safety rounding checklists, we attempted to standardize more efficient documentation […]
