Background: Hospital medicine is a maturing field that increasingly focuses on providing high value patient care. A key question in the value equation is how different patient census sizes impact care. Our recent research showed that higher patient censuses were associated with longer hospital length of stay and costs. This study follows up on this […]

Background: Antibiotics targeted against C. difficile bacteria are necessary, but insufficient, to achieve a durable clinical response because they have no effect on C. difficile spores that germinate within a disrupted microbiome. ECOSPOR-III evaluated SER-109, an investigational, biologically-derived microbiome therapeutic of purified Firmicute spores for treatment of recurrent CDI. Methods: Adults ≥18 years with recurrent […]

Background: It is often assumed resident physicians at academic medical centers order more tests for inpatients due to different aspects of the clinical learning environment. Despite this prevailing notion, there is very little evidence to support this claim. We sought to quantify differences in ordering practices between teaching hospitals and non-teaching hospitals for two common […]

Background: A small number of patients account for a disproportionate number of hospital readmissions. The Complex High Admission Management Program (CHAMP) is designed to improve care and reduce hospitalizations for frequently readmitted patients. Non-randomized studies of CHAMP found reductions in readmission but may be subject to regression to the mean. We conducted a randomized trial […]

Case Presentation: This is a 4-year-old previously healthy girl, fully immunized with the exception of COVID-19 immunizations, who was hospitalized after presenting with fevers and fatigue for one week followed by gross hematuria. At the outset of her fevers, she tested negative for COVID-19 using a home antigen test. 4 days prior to admission, she […]

SHM Converge 2023
Background: “Hospital at Home” (HaH) models of care have existed for over 20 years in the U.S. Demand for healthcare value, advances in relevant technologies, and the ongoing global pandemic have driven renewed attention to HaH models, by way of policy-based and academic pilot programs – and even commercialization attempts. Where studied, these models have […]

Background: Intimate partner violence (IPV) is a serious and prevalent public health issue associated with increased healthcare utilization and worse healthcare outcomes. The majority of IPV outcomes research is conducted in emergency and outpatient populations. Our study aims to investigate how IPV exposure affects hospitalization rates and outcomes in adult patients. Methods: We performed a […]
