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.

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.

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.

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).

Practical Leadership Skills to Promote Hospitalist Well-Being

During this webinar we will share key findings from the 2024 Hospital Medicine Workforce Experience Report, which explores the intersection of workplace structures and leadership support and professional fulfillment and burnout amongst hospitalists. Attendees will leave the webinar understanding how to promote wellbeing for themselves, during one-on-one interactions with team members, and across teams.
