One prominent commitment of hospital medicine is to the development of evidence-based inpatient medicine practices. Through development of publications, such as the Consult Manual, hospital medicine physicians have increased the exposure of internal medicine residents and medical students to principles of quality inpatient care. Their unique focus on inpatient care affords hospital medicine physicians a practical experience base on which to build sound and sensible guidelines for management.

The Division of Hospital Medicine recently brought on two dedicated Clinical Research Coordinators, Maya Fiore, BA, and Airest Wilson, BA.

Maya is currently working on a POCUS Throughput project with Dr. Conner. The goal of their study is to demonstrate the feasibility of a POCUS-guided TTE triage protocol that increases the proportion of TTEs completed within 24 hours. They recently finished the validation phase of our study and are entering the evaluation phase. The validation phase consisted of POCUS trained hospitalists scanning 90 patients and completing a questionnaire regarding clinical history, images obtained, and TTE triage recommendation. Clinical information and POCUS images were compiled and shared with two cardiologists, who recorded their own image interpretation and TTE triage recommendation in an identical questionnaire for comparison. Patient care was not impacted or intervened upon during this validation phase. The evaluation phase is where they will assess the concordance between the hospitalist/resident and board-certified cardiologist (using Cohen’s kappa statistic). They are also evaluating patient surveys that were collected; these surveys collected information on patient satisfaction and interpretation of the bedside ultrasound. 

Airest is currently working on several projects. The first involves HealthLink. The aim is focused on the idea that food is a form of medicine. This study provides nutritious food to patients who are ready for discharge and have been identified as food and/or financially insecure. Patients are provided with enough food to last their household 3 days. The food is delivered to their door less than 24 hours after they are discharged from the hospital. They hope to improve the overall health and well-being of under-resourced communities and decrease diet-related negative health outcomes in St. Louis.

His second research project is entitled, “IDEA-CD.” Delirium is a common adverse effect of hospitalization among patients on general medicine units and in the ICU, particularly older adults. Unfortunately, healthcare providers frequently miss diagnosing delirium despite the complications that result from this devastating syndrome. His goal is to create an innovative and effective simulation-based mastery learning training program for delirium assessment and diagnosis.

His final project is entitled, “Warm Handoff.” There is often a gap in transition of care for patients that are moving from the hospital to a SNF (Skilled Nursing Facility). His goal is to improve the handoff process between hospitalists at BJH and physicians at BJCEC (Barnes Skilled Nursing Facility) through adding a verbal communication component, in addition to the preexisting handoff through the shared discharge summary in the electronic health records.

In addition, the DHM has recently launched our research committee. This committee will focus on cataloging research, as well as discussing resources available at Washington University, methodologies, and providing opportunities for work in progress presentations. These will allow for faculty to present their ideas for research projects and receive feedback.
