Background: Complex non-pharmacologic interventions containing multiple, or bundled, components can successfully prevent and treat hospital-acquired delirium in older adults. However consistent implementation, and the measurement of compliance, of these bundled interventions can be challenging to sustain in hospital settings especially in presence of COVID-19. Developing workflows with a smaller sub-set of components that are feasible […]

Background: Patient portal use has been associated with improved patient experience, safety, and health outcomes.1,2 To keep patients better connected to their providers, our institution aimed to expand MyChart utilization. We piloted a standard operating procedure (SOP) to enhance MyChart education and uptake among those admitted to an inpatient general medicine unit. Purpose: Our intervention […]

Background: In hospital-based medicine, maintaining an open line of communication between inpatient teams and community pediatricians serves as an essential component of providing comprehensive patient care and ensuring continuity at time of discharge. At St. Louis Children’s Hospital, inpatient resident teams are responsible for providing timely communication with community pediatricians regarding major patient events. Despite […]

Background: Academic medical centers are complex healthcare delivery systems that are quickly adopting electronic health records (EHR) nationwide while still using alpha-numeric paging for physicians-in-training raised with cell phones, texting, messaging, and newer technologies. Understanding workflow processes for these providers of patient care are key to finding solutions to improve healthcare quality and safety. […]

Background: Despite widespread mandated use of Electronic Health Records (EHR), many residency programs struggle to find the best strategy to conduct EHR training. Traditional EHR training sessions are typically led by non-clinical IT staff and are often structured around software functionalities rather than clinical workflow. Furthermore, EHR training is often not customized to the needs […]

Background: Physician handoffs between inpatient shifts influence safety and care quality. Handoffs are also at risk for communication failures. Poor care coordination and miscommunication cause 80% of sentinel events nationwide. The rise of the electronic medical record (EMR) presented an opportunity to standardize communication during handoffs. Unfortunately, this potential has thus far gone largely unrealized, […]

Background: The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates over 1.2 million Americans are living with HIV (human immunodeficiency virus). Of those, approximately 14% are unaware of their HIV-positive status. In 2014, most hospitals adopted some form of Electronic Health Records (EHR) and one year later, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services extended […]

SHM Converge 2023
Background: Understanding patient readiness for discharge requires communication between the many disciplines who care for patients. Team members use different tools in the electronic health record (EHR) to document and communicate discharge-related information, which can result in inefficient communication, delays in discharge, and adverse patient outcomes. EHR-based discharge coordination tools have potential to improve discharge […]

Hospital Medicine 2020, Virtual Competition
Background: Physicians increasingly utilize electronic health records (EHR) to deliver healthcare, and the EHR has been identified as leading source of physician burnout and frustration [Shanafelt et al]. Studies report up to 52.6% of hospitalists exhibit symptoms of burnout [Roberts et al]. However, there is no data to inform how hospital medicine physicians spend their […]
