MEDAGENTBRIEF: DEVELOPMENT AND PROSPECTIVE REAL-WORLD EVALUATION OF AN LLM-BASED HOSPITAL COURSE SUMMARIZER

SHM Converge 2026

Background: Accurate and timely discharge summaries are critical to safe transitions of hospitalized patients to the outpatient setting and reduce readmissions1–6. However, composing the hospital course (HC) section of the discharge summary is laborious and time consuming, contributing to increased documentation burden7,8, work outside of work9, and clinician burnout10,11. Recent retrospective studies demonstrated that large [...]

POCUS FOR THE PEOPLE: A SCALABLE TRAINING MODEL FOR BUILDING DIAGNOSTIC CAPACITY IN RURAL GUATEMALA

SHM Converge 2026

Background: Limited diagnostic capacity in resource-constrained hospitals leads to delayed diagnoses and inequitable outcomes. At Hospital Nacional Juan José Ortega de Coatepeque in Guatemala, internists frequently manage conditions such as decompensated cirrhosis and pleural effusions with only plain radiography available and no access to a radiologist. A needs assessment of 36 providers showed limited prior [...]

INPATIENT LEAN TEAM: REDUCING INPATIENT STRAIN AT A PUBLIC QUATERNARY HOSPITAL CENTER IN NEW YORK CITY

SHM Converge 2026

Background: A large academic safety-net hospital has experienced surges in hospital patient volumes resulting in inpatient strain. Strain is defined as a mismatch between supply and demand of hospital resources1. Inpatient strain led to a growing number of admitted patients boarding in the Emergency Department (ED) for several days, physically distant from their inpatient providers [...]

FROM PROTOCOL TO PRECISION: EMPOWERING TEAMS TO OPTIMIZE SEPSIS FLUID RESUSCITATION IN A COMMUNITY HOSPITAL

SHM Converge 2026

Background: Despite decades of standardized sepsis protocols, fluid resuscitation practices remain variable across hospital settings. At our community hospital, compliance with the 30 mL/kg fluid requirement for severe sepsis and septic shock patients lagged behind national benchmarks, driven by inconsistent documentation, variable order set use, and lack of confidence in assessing fluid responsiveness. Standardized bundles [...]

FROM SUMMARIZATION TO STRUCTURED CONTROL: REAL-WORLD IMPLEMENTATION AND EVOLUTION OF AN EHR-NATIVE GENERATIVE AI ASSISTANT

SHM Converge 2026

Background: Clinical documentation is a major contributor to hospitalist burnout due to the time spent on note writing and chart review. Generative artificial intelligence (AI) may help reduce this burden, yet most tools offer limited control over source information or output structure. Additionally, little is known about how clinicians actually use these tools in practice [...]

INTEGRATING HOSPITAL AND COUNTY HOMELESSNESS DATA TO IMPROVE CARE TRANSITIONS

SHM Converge 2026

Background: Hospitals nationwide increasingly shoulder the cost of unaddressed social determinants of health (SDOH). Preventable readmissions and prolonged hospital stays among patients experiencing homelessness increase healthcare expenditures and highlight unmet social needs linked to poorer outcomes. Every county in the United States administers housing assistance – including Permanent Supportive Housing, rapid rehousing, and emergency shelter [...]

OPEN 24/7: THE IMPACT OF CREATING A TELE-NOCTURNIST PROGRAM TO SUPPORT RURAL HOSPITALS

SHM Converge 2026

Background: Staffing shortages can impact a rural hospital’s viability. Nighttime coverage is particularly difficult given limited resources, low patient volumes and high provider costs. A tele-hospitalist coverage model split between multiple sites is one solution to minimize these challenges. After successfully creating a daytime tele-hospitalist program to support two rural hospitals, our group at a [...]

CULTURE EATS STRATEGY: CHALLENGES TO IMPLEMENTATION OF AN ED HOSPITALIST ROLE

SHM Converge 2026

Background: Emergency Department (ED) boarding has increased nationwide since the COVID-19 pandemic and poses additional risks to patients, including increased length of stay, worsened health outcomes, and overall mortality (1,2). Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU), a 562-bed academic health center and tertiary/quaternary referral center for the region, has faced increasing capacity constraints causing prolonged [...]

THE HOSPITALIST THINK TANK: A SCALABLE INNOVATION TO DRIVE ENGAGEMENT, SOLUTIONS, AND WELL-BEING

SHM Converge 2026

Background: Hospital medicine is a high-volume, high-demand specialty where frontline clinicians frequently identify system challenges but lack structured opportunities to influence solutions. Leadership is often occupied with urgent operational needs, leaving hospitalists’ concerns under-addressed. This gap contributes to inefficiency, disengagement, and burnout. An innovative forum—the “Think Tank”—was created to empower hospitalists to generate, prioritize, and [...]

CREATION OF AN ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE TOOL TO SCREEN SURGICAL PATIENTS

SHM Converge 2026

Background: Surgical co-management (SCM), a care model in which hospitalists jointly manage medically complex perioperative patients with surgical teams, has demonstrated decreases in surgical complications, decreases in length of stay, and cost savings (1-6). At Stanford Health Care (SHC), SCM physicians manually screen elective surgeries to identify patients requiring co-management services. However, this process contributes [...]
