SHM Converge 2023
Background: Healthcare disparities have existed for decades, yet it took a global pandemic to put this emergency into the spotlight. The Joint Commission states “health related social needs” (HRSN) are the root cause of many disparities. HRSN encompasses a wide spectrum including inability to pay bills, poor access to transportation, and lack of housing. At […]

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: Diagnostic errors (DEs) represent ongoing threats to patient safety in the hospital. Little is known about the factors present on admission that can predict DE during the hospital encounter. Such knowledge is essential for prospective identification of hospitalized patients at risk for DE who can be targeted for early intervention. The purpose of this […]

SHM Converge 2023
Background: The American opioid epidemic is a public health emergency, with over 100,000 opioid-related overdose deaths occurring in 2021 (1). Harm reduction treatment models, formulated with the goal of reducing the negative consequences of opioid use, have been implemented as an alternative approach in minimizing opioid overdose and mortality (2). With approximately 4-11% of hospitalized […]

SHM Converge 2023
Background: Diagnostic and clinical reasoning errors are common and a source of harm to our patients. Improving clinical reasoning skills is challenging due to the absence of feedback. Care transitions have been recognized as an area of vulnerability for hospitalized patients, however, they also represent opportunities for error recognition and improvement as the oncoming clinician […]

SHM Converge 2023
Background: Current literature shows that many graduating health-professional students are not adequately trained to identify safety hazards [1]. With early integration of patient safety education in medical student education, we hope to reduce the occurrence of adverse events longitudinally throughout an individual’s medical career. Data demonstrates that patient safety simulations are an effective method to […]

SHM Converge 2023
Background: Attention to the quality of glycemic management during the hospital stay, including care transitions, has grown with increasing evidence linking inpatient and post-discharge glycemic control to clinical outcomes, widespread use of glucometric benchmarking, and impending pay-for-performance measures. Clinical inertia (nonadherence to guidelines) and therapeutic inertia (failure to adjust medications as indicated) or CTI among […]
