Background: Clinical decision support tools based on predictive analytics can provide actionable information and improve clinical outcomes for patients at risk of developing sepsis. Scoring systems such as Systemic Inflammatory Response Syndrome (SIRS) and National Early Warning Score (NEWS) that were not specifically trained to detect sepsis tend to have high false alarm rates, leading […]

Background: Multidisciplinary rounds (MDRs) or discharge huddles in the hospital were developed to enhance safety and streamline discharge by improving communication between members of the patient care team. Despite efforts to coordinate care around a single brief daily meeting, multiple aspects of the patient’s care can change throughout the day. Keeping all members of the […]

Background: Discharging patients is a complicated process that requires planning, coordination and communication between multiple care team members. Ideally this process begins at admission and is updated in real time as the patient care plan evolves and discharge needs become known. Discharge plans are often made using some form of static communication, such as in-person […]

Background: The Institute of Medicine includes patient-centeredness as an essential component of high-quality patient care. One dimension of patient-centeredness is the need for physicians to provide clear communication to patients (1). The Hospital Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems (HCAHPS) survey also measures physician communication skill.Patient perception of physician communication is complex. Visual aids […]

Background: End of rotation evaluations by attending physicians document resident performance and inform promotion. Unsatisfactory response rates and inadequate qualitative responses are a common problem. To address these issues, we implemented a single-question, Entrustable Professional Activities (EPA) based assessment tool on our inpatient ward rotations and compared it to our existing ACGME milestone-based assessment tool. […]

Background: Delirium is associated with increased morbidity, mortality and health care costs in the hospital setting secondary to increased length of stay and poor long term outcomes (1,2). A systematic review of different delirium prediction models found limitations with these models including derivation from small patient populations, lack of heterogeneity, accuracy and reliability as noted […]

Improving utilization management of patients presenting to the emergency department with chest pain is an important goal for hospitals. Use of 5th generation troponins and risk stratifying tools can […]
