Background: As of 2017, 96% of non-federal acute care hospitals had an electronic health record (EHR). Hospitalists interact with the EHR for several hours each day. Many studies have suggested a direct correlation between physician burnout and frustrations with the EHR. Data has been published regarding physician time studies in the outpatient setting, but there […]

Background: In March of 2016, the CDC released guidelines recommending shorter duration of opioid prescriptions. While these guidelines have the potential to influence hospitalist practice, it is not clear whether discharge prescribing patterns have changed for hospitalized patients. We perform an interrupted time series analysis to examine changes in discharge opioid prescribing from an inpatient […]

Background: Unnecessary hospitalizations and testing for syncope remain common (1), and physician attitudes continue to favor overuse for syncope (2). Structured protocols, specialized units, and decision support algorithms may reduce health service use, but lack of data precludes the ability to advocate for use of a specific decision support algorithm (3). Purpose: Our primary aim […]

Background: In the quest to improve patient satisfaction scores, providers and health systems alike are frustrated with the inability to obtain real-time satisfaction data. Indeed, HCAHPS data lags by six months, and makes it exceedingly difficult to provide real-time feedback to physicians on their communication with patients. As a result, we developed a patient-centered audit […]

Background: Literature on the timing of inpatient laboratory test collection is limited. Most studies suggest that physicians and patients are satisfied with morning collection [1], more specifically, intermittent late morning lab collection to decrease sleep disruption [2,3]. Evening labs put increasing demands on healthcare providers given limited resources available outside standard work hours. We sought […]

Background: Hospital medicine is the fastest growing subspecialty within internal medicine, growing from 10,000 hospitalists in 2002 to over 50,000 in 2016. Despite this growth, there remain relatively few hospitalists who are clinician investigators. We sought to quantify the number of clinician investigators, their dedicated time for research at major United States academic medical centers, […]
