Background: Effective interpersonal communication is critical in healthcare. Historically, pagers, phone calls, and in-person conversations have been the main form of in-hospital communication. New communication technologies, such as electronic messaging, are increasingly becoming the primary way for healthcare workers to communicate. In 2017, 27% of Society of Hospital Medicine responding organizations reported some use of […]

Background: The University of California, San Francisco is undergoing many changes in its approach to teaching in both undergraduate (UME) and graduate medical education (GME). As a result, approximately one third of traditional in-class lectures that make up the UME curriculum will need to move to a digital format to accommodate a new curriculum. In […]

Background: Innovation in graduate medical education is driven by the recognition of residents as adult learners. Increasing digitization provides for exciting opportunities to make the learning process more interactive. The use of audience response devices, or clickers, have been shown to be highly effective in higher education by improving engagement and participation in the classroom […]

SHM Converge 2024
Background: The patient-physician relationship is influenced by several factors including the environment of care. Given the increased use of telemedicine – catalyzed by the COVID-19 pandemic – understanding preferences for and comfort with telemedicine is important. This study aimed to explore patient preferences for various types of video visit background environments and their effects on […]

Background: Medical simulation has been shown to be beneficial to long-term learning (1). A recent systematic review of 21 simulation studies also illuminated its potential role in preventing medical errors (2). Our institution has a robust simulation center with high-fidelity mannequins that all internal medicine residents rotate through on a yearly basis. Each session has […]

Background: While use of technologies such as ultrasound and electrocardiographic (EKG) guidance systems to place peripherally inserted central catheters (PICCs) has grown, little is known about the setting, experience or practice of providers that use these tools. Methods: Using data from the PICC1 survey of vascular access specialists, we identified technology-users from non-users. We defined […]

Hospital Medicine 2017, May 1-4, 2017; Las Vegas, Nev.
Background: Adverse drug events (ADEs) are common during transitions from the hospital to the ambulatory setting, with approximately 20% of patients experiencing an ADE within 30 days of discharge. ADEs are often due to patient misunderstanding of the prescribed medication regimen or non-adherence to the regimen. New approaches are needed to address this problem. Purpose: […]

Background: Implementing technology with the goal of eliminating preventable hospital-acquired conditions (e.g., CAUTI, CLABSI, etc.) in the acute care setting is an ongoing challenge, but it is crucial to creating a safer healthcare system. Increasingly, organizations are collaborating with systems engineering, human factors, and data analytic experts to ensure successful design, development, and implementation of […]

SHM Converge 2024
Background: Continuous multiparameter, physiologic monitoring may improve patient outcomes in the medical-surgical wards by identifying patients who need clinical evaluation and or intervention. Alarms may be actionable or non-actionable dependent on whether the alarm is technical in nature or represents a substantive change in patient condition. Alarms will enhance patient care when followed by provider […]

Hospital Medicine 2016, March 6-9, San Diego, Calif.
Background: Failure to follow-up results of laboratory tests pending at discharge (TPADs) can lead to patient harm. Numerous interventions have been proposed to improve follow-up. The Laboratory Medicine Best Practices (LMBP™) workgroup, sponsored by the Centers for Disease Control, commissioned a systematic review to address the impact of various interventions on TPAD documentation, communication, and […]
