Hospital Medicine 2019, March 24-27, National Harbor, Md.
Background: Sepsis is one of the top causes of inpatient mortality and rapid detection presents numerous challenges. In March, 2016, an interdisciplinary team consisting of top clinicians, data scientists and machine learning experts at a large academic medical center (AMC) embarked on an innovation pilot to develop a novel machine learning model to detect sepsis. […]

Background: Health information technology (HIT) systems, though designed to improve clinical workflow efficiency, have ironically contributed to clinician burnout, especially among hospitalists who depend on these systems for patient care and coordination (Adler-Milstein 2020). Addressing these challenges requires a detailed, resource-intensive process to identify workflow inefficiencies. Because this process is difficult, it is often performed […]

Background: Clinical handbooks support patient care, with studies demonstrating positive effects in areas such as quality of chart documentation, clinical knowledge, and value of inpatient care. Internal medicine residents rotating through inpatient services are particularly likely to benefit from handbooks, especially when handbooks share local, system-specific, and practical guidance. However, less is known about how […]

Background: There are no guidelines for designing or evaluating fixed-content signs or electronic displays used to communicate patient-related information in hospital rooms. Accordingly, there is the potential for the displayed information to be ignored, misinterpreted, or distracting in the complex hospital room environment where patients, nurses, and physicians change frequently. Purpose: To address this shortcoming, […]

Background: POCUS is increasingly being used across medical specialties, and adds value to diagnostic accuracy for numerous pathologies and levels of acuity. Emergency Medicine providers were early adapters, providing examples of how POCUS increases patient satisfaction and diagnostic clarity (1, 2). Internal Medicine and Family Medicine have been slower to adopt this technology; however, general […]

Background: Uncontrolled asthma leading to emergency department (ED) visits and hospitalization causes suffering, disproportionately among underserved patients, and are costly to healthcare systems. Timely treatment and adherence to clinical guidelines via serial monitoring of patients’ reported symptoms, offers the opportunity to improve health outcomes that are important to patients, clinicians, and accountable care organizations (ACO). […]

Background: The inpatient ward provides a unique opportunity for innovative educational approaches. Hospitalists can champion novel educational applications and address millennial’s learning preferences. Many faculty lack adequate training in teaching skills, yet clinician educators must be knowledgeable and confident in their teaching abilities. COVID-19 clarified that in-person faculty development (FD) events are questionable as future […]

Background: Time spent on electronic medical record (EMR) documentation is one of the top dissatisfiers for providers. With burnout at an all-time high, reducing provider burden while maintaining high quality care is essential to moving healthcare forward in a sustainable way. “While electronic documentation provides a number of benefits as compared to paper-based documentation, including […]

Background: Failure to promptly recognize clinically deteriorating patients in the hospital leads to delays in critical interventions and worse health outcomes. Current standard practice in patient monitoring on most medical-surgical wards involves vital sign assessment at discrete time points, typically every four to eight hours. More frequent or continuous vital sign monitoring has historically been […]
