Miscommunications are a leading cause of serious medical errors. Data from multicenter studies assessing programs designed to improve handoff information about patient care lacking.We conducted prospective intervention study resident handoff-improvement program in nine hospitals, measuring rates errors, preventable adverse events, and miscommunications, as well workflow. The included mnemonic standardize oral written handoffs, communication training, faculty development observation program,...
The first cohort of IIPE projects from 2009 are beginning to realize some early successes. We bring you this article in the spirit sharing what works and doesn't. lesson about importance context is critical adopting adapting innovations your own learning environment. —Carol Carraccio, MD, MA Section Editor New duty hours standards have increased frequency transitions care or handoffs for resident physicians. Because miscommunications a leading cause adverse events hospitals, optimizing...
Abstract Objective To determine whether medical errors, family experience, and communication processes improved after implementation of an intervention to standardize the structure healthcare provider-family on centered rounds. Design Prospective, multicenter before study. Setting Pediatric inpatient units in seven North American hospitals, 17 December 2014 3 January 2017.

Patient handoffs are a key source of communication failures and adverse events in hospitals. Despite Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education requirements residency training programs to provide formal handoff skills monitor handoffs, well-established curricula validated assessment tools lacking. Developing curriculum is challenging because the need standardized processes faculty development, cultural resistance change, diverse institution- unit-level factors. In this article,...
<h3>Importance</h3> Medical errors and adverse events (AEs) are common among hospitalized children. While clinician reports the foundation of operational hospital safety surveillance a key component multifaceted research surveillance, patient family not routinely gathered. We hypothesized that novel family-reporting mechanism would improve incident detection. <h3>Objective</h3> To compare error AE rates (1) gathered systematically with vs without reporting, (2) reported by families...
In this perspective piece, we describe a multifactorial phenomenon whereby academic women physicians become invisible in the mid-career stage. Barriers, both small and large, cause cumulative inequity effect, may leave medicine. Certainly, family lifestyle choices play role. And as describe, so is situation created where discouraged disillusioned. We growing evidence of subtle disparities, or micro-inequities, that to be less visible marginalized. Over time, early career transition with an...

No prior studies have examined, in a multicenter fashion, the association between language and systematically, actively collected that include family safety reporting.To examine parent LCE cohort hospitalized children.This prospective study was conducted from December 2014 January 2017, concurrent data collection Patient Family Centered I-PASS...
<h3>Importance</h3> Most pediatricians are women; however, women underrepresented in academic leadership positions such as department chairs and journal editors among first authors of original research articles published pediatric journals. Publication all types articles, particularly high-impact specialty journals, is crucial to career building success. <h3>Objective</h3> To examine the gender-related profile associated with perspective-type 4 highest-impact general journals determine...
Gender bias and discrimination have profound far-reaching effects on the health care workforce, delivery of patient care, advancement science are antithetical to principles professionalism. In quest for gender equity, medicine, with its abundance highly educated qualified women, should be leading way. The sheer number women who comprise majority pediatricians in United States suggests this specialty has a unique opportunity stand out as progressively equitable. Indeed, there been much...
Importance The culture of academic medicine may foster mistreatment that disproportionately affects individuals who have been marginalized within a given society (minoritized groups) and compromises workforce vitality. Existing research has limited by lack comprehensive, validated measures, low response rates, narrow samples as well comparisons to the binary gender categories male or female assigned at birth (cisgender). Objective To evaluate medical culture, faculty mental health, their...
