Background: 15% of hospitalized patients have a documented penicillin (PCN) allergy. However, fewer than 1% of those patients have a true IgE-mediated reaction that necessitates avoidance of beta-lactam antibiotics. Labeling a patient with a PCN allergy is associated with prescribing non beta-lactam (NBL) broad spectrum antibiotics and increased adverse outcomes. Patients with a documented PCN […]

SHM Converge 2023
Background: It has been well demonstrated that improving patient health literacy positively impacts patient adherence to their treatment plan as well as patient satisfaction. The time just before hospital discharge is particularly important because the provider can summarize the admission including what the possible etiologies were that prompted admission, in-hospital therapies utilized, and what the […]

Hospital Medicine 2018; April 8-11; Orlando, Fla.
Background: Many hospitalized patients do not understand their treatment and care plans [1] and research shows that better physician communication skills improve patient outcomes [2]. Since these communication skills are teachable, many institutions implement a standardized communication tool for physicians and trainees [3, 4, 5, 6]. The evidence-based Acknowledge, Introduce, Duration, Explanation, and Thank (AIDET) […]

SHM Converge 2021
Background: COVID-19 has drastically changed medical school curriculum across the country. In March, the AAMC recommended pausing clinical activities for all medical students [1]. In response, the University of New Mexico School of Medicine (UNM SOM) transitioned to a virtual curriculum and implemented a four-week virtual public health course on COVID-19, followed by virtual clerkships […]

SHM Converge 2021
Background: Feedback from last year’s Residency Essentials course identified cross-cover as a deficiency. We designed a simulation based cross-cover exercise for fourth-year medical students. The objective was to have students address common cross-cover scenarios and determine need to respond to a page in-person versus telephone. Purpose: Interns are expected to cross-cover but lack formal training. Cross-cover requires gathering pertinent […]

SHM Converge 2021
Background: Preventable medical errors are currently the third leading cause of death in the United States following heart disease and cancer (1). In light of this, integration of formal patient safety education into undergraduate medical education has been encouraged by the World Health Organization in order to address issues of quality of care (2). Early […]

SHM Converge 2023
Background: Clinical case vignettes (CCVs) help trainees develop academic writing and conference presentation skills while learning clinical reasoning and diagnostic approaches. For hospitalists, CCVs provide academic meeting involvement, scholarly activity, and mentor relationships. Both groups face submission barriers. Heavy clinical burdens may limit hospitalists writing time, whereas students lack case exposure, clinical knowledge and writing […]

SHM Converge 2023
Background: Advanced Practice Professionals, APPs (Nurse Practitioners and Physician Assistants) often practice in variable, undefined capacities in teaching hospitals. APP roles are parallel to teaching faculty led teams, and function to accommodate clinical overflow and adjust to attending specific workflows. This impacts role satisfaction, professional advancement, and creates retention challenges. APPs’ inability to fit in […]

Background: Fingerstick blood glucose (FSBG) testing allows inpatient providers to adjust insulin in real time to protect patients from significant hypo- or hyperglycemia. Admitted diabetic patients are often placed on sliding scale insulin with four times per day FSBG testing, regardless of home insulin use. FSBG test materials cost $9 per use (1). We estimate […]

SHM Converge 2024
Background: The Association of American Medical Colleges identifies consideration of social determinants of health (SDoH) and patient-specific factors as key components of entrustable professional activities (Englander 2016). Prior studies of medical students and Internal Medicine (IM) residents demonstrated baseline gaps in integrating SDoH into clinical reasoning (CR) in the outpatient setting (Schwartz 2010, Wilhite 2020), […]
