EVALUATING THE IMPACT OF GABAPENTIN ON OLDER ADULT TRAUMA PATIENTS’ OUTCOMES
SHM Converge 2026
Background: Older adults are particularly vulnerable to traumatic injuries. Gabapentin is frequently utilized as an adjunct analgesic in this population. This study aims to evaluate the impact of gabapentin on the incidence of delirium, pain scores, and opioid use in geriatric trauma patients. Methods: Data from a tertiary level 1 trauma center was obtained from [...]

GERIATRIC EXCELLENCE IN HOSPITAL MEDICINE: DAILY INTERDISCIPLINARY ROUNDS REIMAGINED
SHM Converge 2026
Background: The U.S. population is aging rapidly, with adults ≥65 expected to rise from 18% today to 23% by 2054 (1). Hospital medicine must evolve to meet the increasingly complex needs of this population. The Institute for Healthcare Improvement and the John A. Hartford Foundation have pioneered age friendly care movement through the evidence-based 4M [...]

MOBILIZE TO OPTIMIZE: REDUCING DECONDITIONING AND MALNUTRITION IN HOSPITALIZED PATIENTS
SHM Converge 2026
Background: Hospitalization frequently leads to functional decline in older adults due to immobility, acute illness, and iatrogenic factors. Nutritional status often deteriorates concurrently because of reduced appetite, restrictive diets, and physical barriers. Together, deconditioning and malnutrition increase morbidity, prolong hospital stay, and raise readmission risk. This project evaluated the impact of structured early mobility interventions [...]

LAUNCHING STRIVE: POSITIONING HOSPITAL MEDICINE AT THE CENTER OF THE HEALTHSPAN REVOLUTION
SHM Converge 2026
Background: Longevity and preventive medicine are rapidly gaining attention as people seek strategies to extend healthspan—the years of robust physical and cognitive function. While hospitalists primarily care for patients during acute illness, we should not exclude ourselves from this healthspan revolution. Hospitalization represents a powerful, underused opportunity to study resilience—the biological and functional capacity to [...]

VITAMIN D DEFICIENCY AND FALL RISK IN HOSPITALIZED ADULTS: A RETROSPECTIVE CHART REVIEW
SHM Converge 2026
Background: Falls represent a significant risk factor for morbidity and mortality in US adults. While Vitamin D deficiency is proposed to play a role in fall risk, the present body of research is inconclusive. Methods: This retrospective chart review analyzed the risk of fall in vitamin D deficient adults who presented to a tertiary care [...]
