Background: Teamwork is essential to providing safe, effective, patient-centered care. Prior research documented discrepancies in perceptions of teamwork and collaboration among nurses and physicians. However, prior studies have been limited to single sites and academic medical centers. Methods: We conducted surveys of healthcare professionals in 4 hospitals participating in the REdesigning SystEms to Improve Teamwork […]

Background: Nurse-physician teamwork is a critical determinant of outcomes among hospitalized patients. Although improvement interventions have been designed for specific settings (eg, intensive care units and operating rooms), less attention has been given to nurse-physician teamwork in hospital medicine. Therefore, our goal was to assess the quality and effectiveness of interventions for improving nurse-physician teamwork […]

Background: Discharge delays occur because of inconsistent communication among all clinicians and providers. Inefficient utilization of resources also contributes to delays. Effective communication among the patient care team is a foundation of creating an effective discharge planning process. We must standardize the process of communication as well as resource optimization in order to provide our […]

Background: Transforming hospital operations to optimize patient experience begins with a collaborative care team. The geographic re-location of physicians into one unit with an entire care team, in addition to the implementation of Structured Interdisciplinary Bedside Rounds (SIBR), have been linked to multiple outcomes related to effective care team communication and collaboration, including patient safety […]

Background: Preliminary data from the 2018 Clerkship Directors in Internal Medicine (CDIM) survey showed that in about 50% of both academic and community medical centers, medical students rotate directly with attendings (1). This number has increased by 400% from 2010, the last year for which data is available (2). In our institution, hospital medicine (HM) […]

SHM Converge 2024
Background: Internal Medicine Teaching Teams (IMTTs) aim to deliver both exceptional clinical education and efficient, high-quality patient care. However, increasing workloads and the fast pace on inpatient wards are challenging this dual objective. Our study sought to understand the tensions between education and clinical practice in IMTTs and how academic leaders are addressing these challenges. […]

SHM Converge 2023
Background: Enhanced physician-nurse collaboration improves patient outcomes. Current interprofessional clinical learning environments, however, rarely engage physicians with nurses and are not based on high-performance team frameworks. Therefore, leaders at the University of Chicago Medicine developed the Improving GME Nursing Interprofessional Team Experiences (IGNITE) program to engage interprofessional healthcare teams, with hospitalist coaches, in institutional performance […]

Hospital Medicine 2019, March 24-27, National Harbor, Md.
Background: Residency training includes learning to be an educator; however, it can be difficult for residents to feel comfortable and empowered to teach. Further, it has been established that the current generation of learners prefers an environment that incorporates a sense of community while providing competitive challenges. Purpose: Our goal was to establish a program […]

Hospital Medicine 2018; April 8-11; Orlando, Fla.
Background: In most hospitals, physicians provide care to patients across multiple units while nurses are often unit-based, resulting in team dispersion, and potentially impairing teamwork. Geographically localized care teams may demonstrate improved communication between team members and with patients, potentially enhancing coordination of care. However, the impact of geographically localized teams on patient experience scores […]

Hospital Medicine 2016, March 6-9, San Diego, Calif.
Background: Emergency Department (ED) overcrowding and delays in ED throughput have several important consequences , such as boarding of admitted patients in the ED, longer hospital stays and delay in effective inpatient discharge planning (1). Longer ED boarding time and delay in inpatient discharge process are parts of a vicious cycle of internal bottleneck contributing […]
