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: Troponin is a big molecule, with its fragments not readily cleared by impaired renal function or during dialysis [1]. Oftentimes diagnosing myocardial injury/infarction (MI) is challenging in patients with ESRD due to atypical clinical features coupled with indeterminate ECG changes [2], and elevation of troponin levels with lower PPV [3]. In this study, we […]

Background: Point of Care Ultrasound (POCUS) has been used to improve diagnostic accuracy and provide earlier and more focused treatment intervention. Although hospital-based clinicians are prime candidates for utilizing this skill, very few regularly integrate POCUS into their clinical practice after completing a training course. This study sought out to identify the facilitators and barriers […]

Background: In 2021 there were over 80,000 opioid overdose deaths. Studies show that inpatient hospitalizations are a vital moment in treating patients with opioid use disorder (OUD). Initiation of opioid agonist therapy (OAT: buprenorphine or methadone) is associated with a profound mortality benefit, with some studies suggesting a number needed to treat of less than […]

SHM Converge 2023
Background: Functional health literacy includes the ability to receive information, comprehend its meaning, and put it into action. Patients’ health literacy level has been found to be a stronger correlate of health status than education level and other sociodemographic variables. Individuals with below basic/basic health literacy utilize the healthcare system more often and spend more […]

SHM Converge 2023
Background: Anti-Black racism is embedded in American healthcare, (1) with roots in the structure and curriculum of medical education. (2) Dismantling racism in health care demands that medical education promote racial justice at all levels, from pre-clinical curriculum to clinical training and beyond. (3) However, there are significant barriers to teaching anti-racism content in the […]

SHM Converge 2023
Background: Racial minorities are underrepresented in cancer-related clinical trials. One commonly recognized contributor to this is medical mistrust. Methods: This study used data from the 2020 National Cancer Institute’s Health Information National Trends Survey (HINTS), a cross-sectional, nationally representative sample of 3865 participants. We sought to determine the prevalence of medical mistrust and its impact […]
