SHM Converge 2023
Background: Although readmission rates have decreased since the implementation of higher-than-expected 30-day readmission penalties by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), rates remain above optimal. Hospital readmissions reflect two processes: discharge planning and access to care after discharge. To increase access to care, the US Congress passed the Patient Protection and Affordable Care […]

SHM Converge 2023
Background: Backup systems (jeopardy) are utilized by hospital medicine programs to staff clinical services in the cases of illness, leave and unexpected increases in clinical volumes. In the context of increasing hospitalist burnout and increased staffing needs during and after the COVID pandemic, a focus on how jeopardy contributes to clinician experience has emerged as […]

Background: There is a significant gap in the knowledge of magnitude and durability of B cell response in the setting of prior SARS-CoV-2 infection and continued vaccination schedules including booster vaccination. Our study explores the magnitude and change in B cell response measured as anti-spike AUC (Area under the curve) among healthcare workers (HCWs) over […]

SHM Converge 2023
Background: The extent and impact of bias in medicine are increasingly recognized. Studies have demonstrated the deleterious effect of clinicians’ biases on patient care (1,2), and the impact of patients’ biases on physicians’ well-being (3). We hypothesized that more subtle expressions of bias would increase burnout among academic hospitalists. The objectives of this study were […]

SHM Converge 2023
Background: There is evidence that significantly disruptive health events, such as hospitalizations, may increase patients’ receptiveness to interventions that lead to healthier lifestyle choices and medication adherence. For example, research has shown that hospitalizations are particularly effective settings for delivering some interventions aimed at preventing chronic disease morbidity, such as intervening on tobacco use. Additional […]

SHM Converge 2023
Background: Healthcare in the U.S. is increasingly delivered by large health systems that include one or more hospitals and associated outpatient practices. It is unclear what role health systems play in driving or preventing overutilization of healthcare services in the U.S. We sought to learn what characteristics allow certain health systems to avoid low-value care […]

SHM Converge 2023
Background: Hospital medicine is a rapidly growing specialty, but prior studies have raised concern that hospital medicine’s research output has not kept up with its clinical importance. The ongoing evolution of hospital medicine into an academic field requires clinician-investigators with dedicated time and funding to support research contributions. National Institute of Health (NIH) Career Development […]

SHM Converge 2023
Background: Deaths caused by drug overdose continue to be a public health crisis and contribute to overall mortality and the lowering of life expectancy in the United States. In 2021, the number of drug overdose deaths surged to nearly 107,000 nationally and more than 5,800 in New York State (NYS). Little is known about the […]

SHM Converge 2023
Background: Black, Indigenous, and Peoples of Color (BIPOC), other underrepresented minority (URM) individuals, and women have been historically underrepresented in scholarly writing and research. Junior faculty members may face similar experiential, psychological, and logistical barriers to scholarly participation. We sought interventions to improve hospitalists’ scholarly writing production, specifically those tailored for women, BIPOC, and other […]
