Achieving diagnostic excellence through prevention and teamwork (ADEPT) study protocol: A multicenter, prospective quality and safety program to improve diagnostic processes in medical inpatients
AbstractBackgroundFew hospitals have built surveillance for diagnostic errors into usual care or used comparative quantitative and qualitative data to understand their diagnostic processes and implement interventions designed to reduce these errors.ObjectivesTo build surveillance for diagnostic errors into usual care, benchmark diagnostic performance across sites, pilot test interventions, and evaluate the program's impact on diagnostic error rates.Methods and AnalysisAchieving diagnostic excellence through prevention and teamwork (ADEPT) is a multicenter, real-world quality and safety program utilizing interrupted time-...

Feasibility of social network analysis to study outcomes of children with medical complexity
This study evaluated the feasibility of applying social network analysis (SNA) to describe caregiving networks. Because hospitalization is among the most frequently used outcomes for CMC, exploratory correlations between network characteristics and CMC hospital use were evaluated. Within 3 weeks, the goal network enrollment was achieved, and all feasibility measures were favorable. Network characteristics correlated with hospital use, that is, smaller, denser networks, with more closed-loop communication correlated with fewer hospital days. Networks with more professional caregivers also correlated with fewer hospital days...

Hospital ‐based opioid treatment: Expanding and sustaining the model in Texas
AbstractThisBrief Report includes follow-up data about the sustainability and expansion of the Buprenorphine Team (B-Team), a hospital-based opioid treatment (HBOT) program. Between September 2018 and January 2023, the B-Team started 398 patients with opioid-use disorder (OUD) on buprenorphine therapy and coordinated outpatient care for 353 patients before discharge. Two-hundred and forty-nine of these patients were scheduled for follow-up at our partner addiction treatment clinic. Retention rates at our partner clinic remain relatively high: 73 patients (36% of eligible patients) continued to attend appointments between 6...

Characteristics, disposition, and outcomes of children hospitalized for mental health boarding at a children's hospital
We examined associations between patients' characteristics and their di sposition and outcomes. Our cohort included 1891 boarding hospitalizations: 53.9% transferred to an inpatient psychiatric hospital and 46.1% discharged home. Characteristics associated with not being transferred to an inpatient psychiatric hospital included age<13 years (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] 0.6; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.4 –0.7), disruptive or aggressive behavior (aOR 0.6; 95% CI: 0.4–0.8), psychosis (aOR 0.5; 95% CI: 0.3–0.8), COVID-19 infection (aOR 0.3; 95% CI: 0.2–0.6), or a complex chronic medical condition (aOR 0.8; 95% C...
