SHM Converge 2023
Background: Research suggests that high workloads in the inpatient setting (often measured through patient encounters/visits) contribute to increased hospital length of stay, increased costs, and delayed discharges. High workloads also negatively impact our quality improvement efforts and result in a mismatch in job demands and job resources leading to clinician burnout. To date, there is […]

SHM Converge 2023
Background: Individualized Learning Plans (ILPs) are standardized forms that allow graduating students to self-identify goals, strengths, and weaknesses prior to starting residency. The Coalition for Physician Accountability has advocated for their use in the undergraduate (UME) to graduate medical education (GME) transition. A pilot of ILPs in pediatrics demonstrated moderate usefulness. However, within internal medicine […]

SHM Converge 2023
Background: Diagnostic errors are common, costly, and harmful. Cognitive biases and suboptimal clinical reasoning are contributing factors for diagnostic error. A diagnostic time-out (DTO) is a structured tool to optimize clinical reasoning, prioritize the differential diagnosis, and communicate diagnostic uncertainty in high-risk situations susceptible to diagnostic error. Purpose: To design and implement an interactive educational […]

SHM Converge 2023
Background: Delirium, a highly morbid condition affecting significant numbers of hospitalized adults, is under-recognized due to challenges in monitoring patients’ waxing and waning symptoms. In addition, precipitating environmental factors such as light, sound, and sleep are difficult to observe. Computer vision cameras that can generate continuous observations of patients and their in-room care environment have […]

SHM Converge 2023
Background: Since 2010, 130 rural hospitals have closed, leaving only 2,250 rural hospitals remaining in the United States. Of the remaining facilities, outmigration and/or the bypassing of the local hospitals to a larger facility remains problematic and impacts a community’s access to healthcare while affecting the long-term business viability of the city. In December of […]
