DISCHARGE MILESTONES: IMPROVING THE EFFICIENCY AND RELIABILITY OF DISCHARGE PLANNING TO STREAMLINE HOSPITAL THROUGHPUT
SHM Converge 2022
Background: Hospital throughput and length of stay (LOS) are important drivers of success in an increasingly competitive healthcare landscape where revenues are down and demand can exceed hospital capacity. More specifically, longer LOS and hospital throughput bottlenecks impact access to timely care, the quality and safety of care delivery, patient and family satisfaction, and provider […]

A RESIDENT-LED POST-DISCHARGE CLINIC IN AN URBAN ACADEMIC SAFETY-NET HOSPITAL TO DECREASE 30-DAY HOSPITAL READMISSION RATES
SHM Converge 2022
Background: The transition between hospital discharge and primary care follow-up is a vulnerable period for patients that can result in adverse health outcomes and preventable hospital readmissions. The COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated this transitional period, as many patients have forgone their routine healthcare visits, lost touch with their primary care providers (PCPs), and lacked a […]

CREATION OF A CENTRALIZED ACCEPT NOTE TO IMPROVE COMMUNICATION DURING INTER-HOSPITAL TRANSFER (IHT)
SHM Converge 2022
Background: The transfer of patients between hospitals (interhospital transfer, IHT), exposes patients to risks of discontinuity of care, such as errors in communication and gaps in information transfer. In our prior work evaluating IHT to general medical (GMS), cardiology, oncology and ICU services at an 800-bed tertiary care referral hospital, we found that in 37% […]

CLINICAL STABILITY INDICATORS BETWEEN ERTAPENEM AND TEBIPENEM PIVOXIL, AN ORAL CARBAPENEM, IN HOSPITALIZED ADULTS WITH COMPLICATED URINARY TRACT INFECTION
SHM Converge 2022
Background: Treatment of complicated urinary tract infections (cUTI), including acute pyelonephritis (AP) due to multi-drug resistant (MDR) Gram-negative uropathogens (e.g., extended-spectrum ß-lactamase (ESBL)-producing and fluoroquinolone-resistant strains) is associated with poor outcomes and increase costs of care. In the setting of limited alternative oral options, patients with cUTI/AP are commonly hospitalized to receive intravenous (IV) antibiotic […]

INCREASING PATIENT PORTAL ENROLLMENT FOR IMPROVED QUALITY OF POST-DISCHARGE CARE
SHM Converge 2022
Background: The period immediately following discharge from a hospital admission is a vulnerable time for patients. Preventable adverse outcomes occur here for various reasons: discontinuity between hospitalists and primary care physicians, changes to medication regimens, and complex discharge instructions [1]. Many of these precipitating factors can be avoided by effective exchange of health information and […]

READMISSION RISK AFTER COVID-19 HOSPITALIZATION: A MODERATION ANALYSIS BY VITAL SIGNS
SHM Converge 2022
Background: Hospital clinicians may identify the presence of a patient’s comorbid conditions, overall severity of illness, and clinical status at discharge as risk factors for readmission after COVID-19 hospitalization. Objective data are lacking to support reliance on these factors for discharge decision-making. Objectives included examination of risk factors for readmission to hospital after COVID-19 hospitalization […]

A CENTRALIZED APPROACH FOR POST-DISCHARGE MEDICATION REVIEW AND EDUCATION
SHM Converge 2022
Background: Communication related to medications is an important metric on the Hospital Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems (HCAHPS) survey to measure patient experience after discharge from the hospital. There are many factors which can lead to poor communication about medications (Figure 1). Over 20% of readmissions can be related to medications, and of […]

HAVE LESS, PAY MORE: ASSESSING NEW MEDICATION COST, PRIMARY ADHERENCE, AND READMISSION RATES FOR DISCHARGING PATIENTS WITHOUT PRESCRIPTION INSURANCE
SHM Converge 2022
Background: Up to 45% of Americans do not fill prescriptions because of cost. Medication non-adherence annually leads to $100-$300B in excess morbidity and mortality. To better inform medication cost effects on a potentially vulnerable patient population, our primary aim was to measure annual patient out-of-pocket outpatient medication cost for patients without prescription drug insurance coverage […]

USING EMERGENCY DEPT BED HOLDS TO OPTIMIZE THROUGHPUT AND IDENTIFY OPPORTUNITIES DURING PERIODS OF HIGH PATIENT VOLUME
SHM Converge 2022
Background: Emergency room overcrowding is a national crisis largely attributed to high volumes of admitted patients awaiting beds in the Emergency Department (1). Studies have shown that ED overcrowding delays care for all patients, increases length of stay, and reduces overall quality of care (2). Contributing to this are potentially unnecessary floor admissions. With the […]

PATIENT EXPERIENCE WITH ADMISSIONS FROM AN ACADEMIC MEDICAL CENTER EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT TO A COMMUNITY HOSPITAL
SHM Converge 2022
Background: Tertiary hospitals and academic medical centers often operate near full capacity while smaller community hospitals have difficulty filling open beds. At our institution, a program was set up to transfer lower acuity patients needing admission from the emergency department of an academic medical center to a community partner hospital for direct admission. This and […]
