Rapid Clinical Updates: End-of-Life Care in the Hospital

Bedside clarity cuts through crisis: identify who needs a serious-illness conversation using the surprise question, ePrognosis, and time in bed/chair; communicate with patient-tested language, including clear recommendations and “sick enough to die” when it fits; deprescribe wisely in the final months; implement focused protocols for delirium, dyspnea, and nausea; and support home-time goals, even when dialysis won’t add days where they matter.

Rapid Clinical Updates: Challenging Inpatient Scenarios in Atrial Fibrillation

As bedside alarms spike, do you have a ten‑minute plan for AF? In this rapid, case‑driven webinar you will recognize triggers, triage safely, and decide when to cardiovert vs rate control, then manage anticoagulation—balancing DOACs, PCI antithrombotics, and cardioversion timing. You’ll design high‑value discharges, reassess risk after sepsis or bleeding, and optimize outcomes for frailty and falls—and, when OAC isn’t feasible, evaluate LAAO—so you leave with faster, defensible choices.

Rapid Clinical Updates: Antibiotic Stewardship in Pneumonia

Why do pneumonia antibiotics so often run long? In this rapid webinar, synthesize current CAP and HAP/VAP guidance, enhance diagnostic accuracy, and optimize empiric choices with risk assessment. Then de-escalate with confidence, shorten courses safely, and understand the literature behind each step. Apply stewardship tools that sharpen decisions and improve patient outcomes.

Critical Care for the Hospitalist Series

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.

Rapid Clinical Updates: Delirium and Inpatient Psychotropics

Bedside seconds matter—can you detect delirium before it spirals? In this rapid update, synthesize current evidence to detect early with brief screens, implement prevention bundles on rounds, prescribe only when safety demands, and manage QTc, interactions, and de-prescribing at discharge. Apply practical workflows that prevent harm and sharpen team decisions on your next shift for safer, more efficient inpatient care.

Rapid Clinical Updates: Cardio-Renal-Metabolic Disease and Care Models for Hospital Medicine

Clinicians pressed for time, seize a rapid, evidence-to-ward update on cardio‑renal‑metabolic care. Translate CKM staging into inpatient action, deploy the four therapeutic pillars (RASi, SGLT2i, GLP‑1 RA, nonsteroidal MRA), and implement SGLT2 and CONFIDENCE insights with STRONG‑HF–informed monitoring. Build discharge‑ready pathways and sustain results with EHR screening, CDS, and QI tools—so your next admission benefits immediately.

Rapid Clinical Updates: Advanced Therapy for End-Stage Heart Failure

When minutes matter, this rapid, case-based webinar turns evidence into bedside moves. You’ll classify and stage end‑stage HF precisely; apply high‑value GDMT and ICD/CRT; escalate care with clear algorithms; and identify who benefits—or is harmed—by IV inotropes. We also integrate timely referrals for LVAD/MCS/transplant and early palliative tools (KCCQ, FACIT‑Pal), then test decisions in realistic inpatient scenarios to drive survival, fewer readmissions, and better lives.
