Background: Hospital-acquired C. difficile colitis is associated with increased length of stay (LOS) and significant morbidity and mortality. During hospitalization, patients visit many procedural, diagnostic, and treatment areas throughout the hospital, presenting opportunities for spore contamination of surfaces and nosocomial disease transmission. We developed a novel methodology using electronic health record (EHR) data to map […]

SHM Converge 2022
Background: There has been ample speculation about potential future applications of natural language processing and related technologies for clinical documentation, and yet the mechanics of clinical documentation have changed very little since the passage of the HITECH Act in 2009. Purpose: While awaiting the integration of more advanced technologies into electronic health records (EHRs), we […]

SHM Converge 2022
Background: Despite the widespread use of technology across our daily lives, many processes in the hospital remain manual and labor-intensive. As hospital medicine divisions grow, there is an increasing need for automated and scalable solutions. While many hospitals look to external vendors to provide automated solutions, these often lack customizability and gaps remain. Purpose: To […]

Background: Communicating to physicians about electronic health record (EHR) software updates is important for maintaining clinical workflow and preserving patient safety. However, reaching providers with mass e-mails is challenging; the optimal strategy for educating providers about EHR updates remains unclear. Purpose: Modify our communication strategy to improve inpatient physicians’ understanding of EHR software updates. Description: […]

Background: One target for improvement of effective patient centered care on the inpatient medical ward is the mechanism for communication among the multidisciplinary care team (MCT). The medical service at Stanford Hospital and Clinics recently implemented morning “team care rounds” (TCRs) that provided space for the MCT members, including the physician (MD), nurse (RN), case […]

Hospital Medicine 2019, March 24-27, National Harbor, Md.
Background: In sepsis, every hour of delay in antibiotic administration after the onset of hypotension is associated with 4-7% increase in mortality, but little is known about the characteristics of patients with treatment delays. Our objective was to determine if septic adults presenting to the Emergency Department (ED) who receive antibiotics more than 60 minutes […]

Background: Team-based approaches have been broadly promoted to improve healthcare delivery in the U.S. However, few studies have analyzed the complexities of team-based communication in the current healthcare delivery landscape of increasing electronic health record (EHR) use and the rapidly evolving EHR functionalities. Major hurdles to studying effective communication within and between healthcare teams include: […]

Background: With the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic, the need for telemedicine is growing rapidly worldwide. The development and improvement of remote physical examination systems, especially remote cardiopulmonary auscultation are required to facilitate telemedicine. A system combining an electronic stethoscope and Bluetooth connectivity is a promising option for remote auscultation in hospitals and clinics. However, the […]

Background: Electronic Health Records (EHR) systems are broadly used to support the delivery of patient care and to facilitate communication and coordination among providers. The use of EHR has been demonstrated to improve health care quality and efficiency. However, the impact of how providers utilize EHRs and communicate information in care delivery remains unclear. Specifically, how do […]
