Background: Mobile health applications have the potential to support patients via improved engagement and self-management. While the use of this technology has been developed for patients with chronic diseases, there is limited evidence to guide the development of this technology for patients with acute conditions. Patients diagnosed with acute venous thromboembolic disease (VTE) are at […]

Background: Point of care ultrasound (POCUS) has become an integral part of the physical examination and a valuable diagnostic tool. POCUS is unique among medical technologies in that it requires physical co-location of the provider and patient. Previous studies have shown the value of shared decision-making between patients and providers requiring a mutual understanding of […]

Background: Point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) is being used to support the diagnosis and serially monitor patients with and without COVID-19. There have been concerns about use of personal protective equipment, the ability to receive hands-on supervision and support for interpretations of ultrasound in this era. Efforts to expand POCUS educational initiatives have been hindered by insufficient […]

Background: Physicians are increasingly using the social media outlet, Twitter, as a medium to connect and engage. Specifically, Twitter-based journal clubs have created a space for clinicians, educators and researchers to disseminate and discuss recent research. Recognizing this developing landscape, the Journal of Hospital Medicine (JHM) began producing a CME-accredited Twitter-based journal club, called #JHMChat […]

Background: Adverse drug events are common during transitions of care and often due to patient misunderstanding of the medication regimen or non-adherence. Challenges exist that may influence the ability of new interventions to address this issue. As part of the Smart Pillbox study, a randomized controlled trial of an electronic pillbox, we explored barriers and […]

Background: Peripherally inserted central catheters (PICCs) are an increasingly popular choice in the acute care setting for intravenous therapy. However, compared to other catheters, PICCs are associated with a higher risk for venous thromboembolism and blood stream infection, with multi-lumen PICCs having higher complication rates than single lumen. Midline catheters are associated with a much […]

Background: The EMR does not provide readily available information that conveys an at-a-glance understanding of discharge progress for a given patient. Healthcare workers have different workflows and need to manage the information in different ways, with a reliance on one-to-one conversations. We believe that optimizing patient length of stay is hindered by lack of: data […]

Background: A somewhat under-discussed topic in EHR implementation is the safety and efficiency consequences of their lengthy build and implementation. After multiple years of stalled clinical innovation while IT staff dedicate their focus to EHR builds, hospital systems undergo an 8 – 16 hour downtime often followed by multiple planned and unplanned downtimes that can […]

Hospital Medicine 2019, March 24-27, National Harbor, Md.
Background: In recent years, in large part due to reimbursement incentives, the healthcare industry has shifted focus from volume to quality of care, with patient satisfaction being a crucial part of the evaluation. There is growing recognition that patient satisfaction is at least in part linked to clinician satisfaction and burnout(1). Thus, there is a […]

Background: Health information technology (HIT) systems were created with the intent to improve efficiency and streamline clinical workflows. However, evidence suggests HIT systems are a significant source of clinician burnout (Adler-Milstein 2020). A thorough understanding of clinicians’ frustrations is necessary to develop solutions to improve HIT systems. In doing so, efforts from the clinical informatics […]
