Outpatient Hospitalist-Run Procedure Service Bridges the Gap in Oncology Care
Hospitalist-run procedure teams enable expedited care in the inpatient setting. However, wait times for outpatient interventional radiology (IR) are long at our institution. Our study thus aims to compare the safety and wait times between procedural teams and IR placement of outpatient temporary hemodialysis catheters (THDC) for patients undergoing Chimeric antigen receptor T-cell (CAR-T) therapy apheresis.A retrospective chart review was conducted on all patients receiving outpatient THDC for CART therapy from August 2019 until November 2022.

The development and pilot of a novel mobile application to assess clinician perception of workload and work environment
The objective of this study was to develop a mobile application to assess, in near real time, clinicians' perception of workload and work environment.Designs, Settings and ParticipantsWe developed the GrittyWork ™ application (GW App) using the Chokshi and Mann process model for user-centered digital development. Study occured at a single academic medical center with hospitalist clinicians.Main Outcome Measures and MeasuresMeasures included the System Usability Scale (SUS), use measures from GW App, electronic health record (EHR) event log data and note counts, and qualitative interviews.ResultsFrom October 28, 2022 to N...

Critical Care: What You May Have Missed in 2023
This article highlights 10 important pieces of research from 2023 (and 1 from 2022) in critical care. The literature was screened for new evidence relevant to internal medicine physicians and hospitalists whose focus of practice is not critical care but who may be taking care of seriously ill patients. The articles highlight the diverse spectrum of pathology and interplay of various specialties that go into critical care. Topics include transfusion medicine, fluid resuscitation, safe intubation practices and respiratory failure, and the management of acute ischemic stroke. Several trials are groundbreaking, forcing clinici...
