Structures, Strategies, and Initiatives to Address ED Boarding Challenges

Boarding of patients in the Emergency Department (ED) is increasingly common. Hospitalists are often the next clinicians to care for boarding patients, and often lead hospital committees for readmissions, patient safety, throughput, and utilization management. In this webinar, three members of the SHM Practice Management Committee will discuss structures, strategies, and initiatives to address ED boarding and how to optimize care for patients while boarded in the ED.

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).

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.

Just Give Me a Break! Navigating Time Off for Hospitalists

Over the last several years, there has been a shift in how hospitalists value work-life balance. Paid time off and leave are viewed as important benefits, especially for younger candidates. Paid time off (PTO) has also been found to be a critical factor in preventing burnout and increasing professional fulfillment. But with these benefits brings challenges to leadership. During this webinar we will discuss various time off models, how to make financial cases, and how to ensure that workloads and scheduling needs are met.
