Diagnostic errors contribute to patient harm, though few data exist describe their prevalence or underlying causes among medical inpatients.
To describe age-related differences in outcomes among older adults undergoing total hip arthroplasty (THA) and knee (TKA).Retrospective study.A of 1792 patients who underwent primary THA or TKA at the University Iowa Hospitals Clinics between 2010 2013 were identified HealthSystem Consortium Database Orthopedics Joint Replacement Registry.Hospital length stay (LOS), 30-day readmission rate, in-hospital mortality, number days admitted to intensive care unit (ICU discharge disposition),...
Abstract Background The COVID-19 pandemic required clinicians to care for a disease with evolving characteristics while also adhering changes (e.g., physical distancing practices) that might lead diagnostic errors (DEs). Objective To determine the frequency of DEs and their causes among patients hospitalized under investigation (PUI) COVID-19. Design Retrospective cohort. Setting Eight medical centers affiliated Hospital Medicine ReEngineering Network (HOMERuN). Target population Adults...
Excellence in Graduate Medical Education requires the right clinical environment with an appropriate workload where residents have enough patients to gain proficiency medicine optimal time for reflection. The Accreditation Council (ACGME) has focused more on work hours rather than workload; however, high resident been associated lower participation education and fatigue-related errors. Recognizing potential risks being mindful of costs reducing workload, we sought reduce residents' by adding...
Background: Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) provides good clinical outcomes for the treatment of end-stage osteoarthritis; however, discharge destination after TKA has major implications on postoperative adverse and readmissions. With initiation Bundled Payments Care Improvement (BPCI), it is unclear how racial disparities in will be affected by new bundled payment TKA. Methods: was implemented July 01, 2014, at University Pennsylvania. We compared differences during early implementation (July...
Abstract Background Junior to mid-career medical faculty often move into administrative and leadership roles without formal training. Many national training programs target senior rather than junior faculty. Aim To address the development needs of Setting Sessions at annual meetings combined with online learning, independent work, coaching.

BACKGROUND Excess days in acute care (EDAC) after total joint arthroplasty (TJA) represent a large economic burden. We developed an Orthopedic EDAC program that triages TJA patients to the appropriate service line (orthopedic vs medicine) and level of (observation inpatient) on re‐presentation. used evidence‐based protocols for treatment who are rehospitalized. METHODS defined as length stay (LOS) during readmission observation stays. Our target population included revision patients....
