In April 2021, the 21st Century Cures Act granted patients’ guardians immediate access to select patient electronic medical records. Whereas Pediatric Hospital Medicine (PHM) history and physical (H&P) notes are visible to guardians, adolescent sensitive notes (ASN) remain confidential. At our institution, […]

Background: Effective communication at hospital discharge between inpatient and outpatient providers is critical to improving transitions of care and reducing hospital readmissions. A key part of transitions communication is the hospital discharge summary (DCS). Prior studies show that DCSs are often not available to primary care providers (PCPs) at the time of hospital follow-up and […]

Background: Hospital-at-Home (HaH) is a safe and effective alternative to high-cost, traditional hospitalization in patients with a range of medical conditions, such as non-severe community-acquired pneumonia (CAP). The COVID-19 pandemic created a unique situation with favorable policy changes, hospital resource constraints, and a clearly defined patient population that helped to increase HaH program deployment and […]

The EHR is designed to store documentation of a patient’s past medical history (PMH), surgical history (PSH), family history (FH), and active hospital problems in the History tab. When the information is in […]

To address this, in our hospital a new orderset embedded in the EMR (Electronic Medical Record) was created. The orderset brought several changes to the workflow. Before, providers can admit patients to the telemetry […]

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 […]
