An Integrated Approach to Workplace Violence in Hospitals

Join us for a discussion to hear about one groups emerging model for reducing, managing, and responding to violence against healthcare workers. During the session, we will discuss how to measure the problem, encourage clinicians to report incidents, couple workplace safety efforts to existing patient safety programs, and use a three-part approach to reduce, mitigate, and respond to violence in the hospital setting.

The Hospitalist's Role in Ensuring Optimal Nutrition for Hospitalized Patients

Ensuring optimal nutrition for the hospitalized patient is a complex issue fraught with several pitfalls for clinicians as they asses the patient’s nutritional status and determine the caloric needs and appropriate delivery method. Many factors need to be considered when creating this patient-specific plan. The following activity discusses these issues and outlines the various dietary formulations (ie, oral, enteral nutrition, and parenteral nutrition). Step-by-step guidance for how to implement a nutritional plan for the different types of hospitalized patients that hospitalists encounter also is provided.

Management Of Patients With Hip Fractures

Hip fractures are a frequent cause of hospitalization in the elderly population. As the population continues to age, the incidence is expected to increase. Since many patients with hip fracture suffer from multiple medical comorbidities, hospitalists play a critical role in their care. Management of these patients requires knowledge of multiple consultative medicine topics including preoperative cardiac and pulmonary risk stratification and reduction strategies, venous thromboembolism prevention, and diagnosis and management of common postoperative complications. Open lines of communication between the hospitalist, surgeon, and anesthesiologist are essential to optimize patient care.

Unstable Tachyarrhythmias for the Hospitalist

Many hospitalists provide critical care services without adequate support or training, putting patients at risk and exposing hospitalists to medical liability. This educational series covers common or high-risk clinical scenarios that hospitalists encounter in and out of the intensive care unit.

Managing Diabetes and Hyperglycemia in the Hospital: Critically Ill and Surgical Patients

Hospitalized patients with diabetes require specific medical management in order to minimize the risk of hyperglycemia. This requires hospitalists to have an understanding of methods for glycemic control in both the critically ill and noncritically ill patient. This activity, which focuses on the critically ill hospitalized patient, is part of a 2-part series that will evaluate the current scientific evidence regarding glycemic control and discuss how to formulate preoperative and postoperative intensive care unit plans. In addition, a thorough review of the evidence for intraoperative glycemic control and a discussion of how to transition patients off of an insulin drip are provided.

How to be a Hospitalist Opioid Use Disorder Champion: Improving the Quality of Care for Patients

The hospitalist role in providing effective care for patients with opioid use disorder (OUD) has never been more important. In this webinar, part one of two on the topic, members of the SHM SUD Special Interest Group will discuss the current state of addiction medicine and the roles that hospitalists can take within their practice to overcome barriers and improve the quality of care for their patients with opioid use disorder. Topics will include how to screen patients, building protocols and pathways for treatment, QI projects, orders for discharge, and linkage to care. Additionally, speakers will discuss how to acquire data on the issue and how to start building capacity within the hospitalist team.
