SHM's Clinical Quick Talks

In light of the busy clinical services and demands on hospitalists’ schedules, it is often difficult to carve out time to prepare short lectures for residents and students. To meet this need, SHM's Education Committee created a library of quick talks designed to be succinct (given in less than 10 minutes) for use during teaching rounds, a brief sit-down session, or topic review. Access to this library is free for active SHM members, and nonmembers can subscribe (3 years for $199).

Neurosurgery for the Hospitalist

Successful neurosurgery co-management requires hospitalists to be familiar with the presentations, disease processes, management, and complications of neurosurgical inpatients. The first section of this activity summarizes common inpatient neurosurgical conditions. The second section prepares the reader to recognize and act on neurosurgical emergencies. The remaining four sections of the activity cover blood pressure management in patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage, sodium abnormalities in patients with brain tumors, the use of mannitol vs. dexamethasone, and the perioperative management of anticoagulants, in addition to other topics.

Reducing Unnecessary Telemetry Monitoring: An SHM Choosing Wisely Quality Improvement Implementation Module

Mounting evidence shows that the American healthcare system costs too much for the results it achieves in terms of patient outcomes and access. Many different parts of this system need attention, and it can be difficult to know where to begin. However, the inpatient / hospital environment is a “high intensity” healthcare delivery setting, and the “Choosing Wisely” initiative of the American Board of Internal Medicine Foundation (ABIMF) offers a list of low value healthcare practices which make great targets for improvement efforts. In this activity, we will tackle one of the top five practices chosen for Choosing Wisely by the Society of Hospital Medicine: continuous telemetry monitoring.This activity will review the guideline recommendations and the literature supporting the harms, benefits, and proper utilization of telemetry monitoring.

Perioperative Infections and Fever

Perioperative fever has multiple possible etiologies, including infections such as pneumonia, fungal infections, central-line associated infections, and urinary infections. By understanding the typical time frame and common risk factors for each etiology, hospitalists and other perioperative consultants can develop a differential diagnosis for perioperative fever. The following activity will provide a general approach for determining the differential diagnosis in patients with a perioperative fever, as well as an outline of the diagnostic and treatment modalities.
