Authors: Jha Prekchha , Townsend Mary , Workman Lauren , Patel Fatima , Aguinaga Sarah , Halalau Alexandra , Maddens Nicholas
Published: August 2024

Introduction & Background: A significant number of patients are either admitted to the hospital for acute diarrhea or develop diarrhea during their admission. Frequently stool O&P testing is ordered as part of the workup for acute diarrhea when it is not clinically indicated, leading to an increased financial burden on both the patient and the hospital.

Aim & Significance: To reduce the overuse of inpatient stool O&P testing by instructing residents on the appropriate criteria for ordering this test in patients with acute diarrhea.

Methods & Design: Infectious Disease Society of America and American College of Gastroenterology guidelines for acute diarrheal infections in adults were reviewed and a simplified flowsheet was created based upon their recommendations for indications for Stool O&P testing. The flowsheets were then placed in easy to view locations in the resident work rooms. Baseline data was collected by pulling the number of stool O&P tests ordered by the resident teaching service for the 3 months leading up to the intervention. Data from the same teaching services were pulled once again 3 months after the intervention had been performed.

Results: After the intervention, there was an 18% decrease in stool O&P orders placed by the resident teaching services.

Discussion: Overutilization of stool O&P testing and the associated financial burden can be reduced by providing education regarding the appropriate indications for ordering this test in patients with acute diarrhea.

Social determinants of health (SDOH) are fundamental to reducing health disparities. Our residents attempt to address barriers to SDOH at outpatient clinics in safety-net system of Detroit, Michigan. Our residents collaborated with case management, transferred local resource information into pamphlets, Quick Response (QR) codes, known as Community Aid Resource Distribution (CARD). This initiative was introduced to residents and faculty presentations and re-enforced through huddles. We developed questionnaires to assess residents’ attitudes towards SDOH and the effectiveness of CARD. Initial efforts demonstrated increased resident confidence in awareness of community resources. Residents reported that they were likely to recommend CARD resources to patients and found that QR codes to be efficient. Although most residents believed in providing community support resources, only a portion of residents reported always screening their patients for social needs. Thus, more efforts should be allocated to addressing social determinants of health. Additional areas of improvement should focus on inadequate screening by residents and more effective strategies for educating patients about community resources. Lastly, this study highlighted the need for case management particularly in an outpatient setting.

Authors: Roberts Andrew , Petroff Christy , Szpunar Susan , Anne Premchand
Published: August 2024

Introduction: Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) may be the most well-known and most studied neurocognitive disorder responsible for developmental delay. The medical community, in response to the noted increase in prevalence, emphasized the importance of routine screenings at 18 months and 24 to 30 months of age. Ascension St. John Children’s Hospital Resident Clinic utilizes the Modified Checklist for Autism in Toddlers, Revised with Follow-up (M-CHAT-R/F) or MCHAT for short, validated for ages 16 through 30 months. It was noted that screening is frequently missed or undocumented. Because of the need for timely diagnosis and intervention, these missed opportunities can be costly for children and their families.

Purpose: To improve compliance with the American Academy of Pediatrics’ (AAP) recommendation to screen all children for ASD at 18 and 24 months of age.

Methods: An educational lecture was provided to the pediatric residents to screen all children in the above age group being seen for a well-child visit. A visual reminder red pen mark was also applied to eligible patient charts as they were checked in. Baseline completion rates in two three month periods, one year before and three months after the intervention, were compared.

Results: A total of 337 charts were reviewed with similar baseline characteristics between pre- and post-intervention groups. Overall MCHAT completion rates were lower after the intervention: 64% pre- vs. 49% post-intervention (p <0.05). Subgroup analysis of visits where screening was directly indicated (excluding ages 16-17 months, >24 month olds where a screen was already passed at a 24 month well visit, or children already diagnosed with autism, n = 281), had similar completion rates (67.5% and 64.5% respectively, p = 0.59).

Conclusion: MCHAT completion did not improve after the combined intervention of a single, in-person lecture and visual reminder chart marking.

Published: August 2024

Introduction: Hospital readmissions post-discharge for congestive heart failure (CHF) pose a significant burden on patients and healthcare systems, indicating potential gaps in care quality. The 2022 heart failure guidelines advocate for structured workflows to address this issue. Despite this, McLaren Flint Hospital witnessed a rise in 30-day readmissions for CHF exacerbation, highlighting the need for intervention. To tackle this challenge, our resident-faculty Quality Improvement (QI) team has partnered with institutional QI/Patient Safety (PS) initiatives. Our goal is to establish a coordinated approach involving various healthcare professionals to optimize the discharge process and transition of care for CHF patients at McLaren Flint Hospital.

Methods and Materials: Our intervention comprises two crucial tools: a CHF workflow sheet and a CHF medication sheet. The workflow begins with patient identification through daily census reports. Upon discharge, nurses implement the CHF medication sheet, with medications prescribed by medical floor doctors. Pharmacists and dietitians review and educate patients about medications and dietary considerations, respectively. Additionally, case managers organize post-discharge phone calls and appointments with primary care physicians within 48 to 72 hours and 7 days, respectively. Weekly reports on patients requiring cardiac rehabilitation are also dispatched. Plan-Do-Study-Act (PDSA) Toolkit guides our implementation, allowing for continuous improvement and adaptation.

Results: The initial implementation phase commenced on March 6th, 2024. Nursing staff are well-versed in the workflow, and CHF medication forms are readily accessible in patient charts. However, challenges in timely medication reconciliation and orders pose operational hurdles, necessitating resolution. Ongoing evaluation will provide more comprehensive results approximately two months post-completion of the first PDSA cycle.

Conclusion: Our initiative aims to address areas for improvement in reducing 30-day readmission rates post-CHF exacerbation at McLaren Flint Hospital. Utilizing the PDSA cycle toolkit, we will monitor outcomes and refine our process accordingly.

Beyond Information Overload: Leveraging How the Brain Learns for Meaningful Impact
Authors: Westover Jonathan
Published: August 2024

Abstract: This article discusses the importance of understanding neuroscience principles of how the brain learns and integrates new information with prior knowledge through its natural associative processes, as when new concepts are linked to past experiences through meaningful connections and context. Emotion is also key to effective memory and learning, as emotional experiences are more vividly remembered due to evolutionary priorities, yet interactions often lack meaning and human connection to optimize learning. Practical applications for organizations are suggested, such as frontloading context in new initiatives by relating them to past strategies and challenges faced, explicitly connecting new hire onboarding information to personal experiences, enhancing trainings with impactful real-world examples, and leveraging empathy during product development by mapping user needs and tying features back to core motivations. By consciously activating neural networks through association, emotion, context and meaning, organizations can optimize the brain's innate learning abilities compared to passive data consumption, forming deeper, more accessible insights through simple yet intentional techniques. This allows companies to cut through information overload and strategically leverage knowledge in today's changing business environment by operationalizing cognitive principles of learning.

Authors: Westover Jonathan
Published: August 2024

Abstract: This article examines research on generational differences in attitudes toward artificial intelligence (AI) technologies in the workplace and offers recommendations for leaders to mitigate AI-related stress among younger workers. Younger generations such as Gen-Z who have come of age with AI ubiquitous report increased anxiety that their jobs could become obsolete. In contrast to older workers, they lack lived experience of adapting to previous waves of innovation and have less understanding of why some legacy tasks remain unautomated. The article suggests leaders clearly communicate job security and investment in reskilling, provide transparency and contextualized training on AI tools, and foster a culture of psychological safety where mistakes are seen as opportunities to learn rather than failures. An example is provided of a financial firm that successfully addressed Gen-Z concerns over new robo-advisory tools through such strategies as publishing employee career evolution stories and pairing new hires with mentors.
