House Staff Quality Improvement and Patient Safety Conference (2016-2019)

Objectives:

Pediatric patients undergo tracheostomy for a variety of reasons; however, medical complexity is common among these patients. Although tracheostomy may help to facilitate discharge, these patients may be at increased risk for hospital readmission. The purpose of this study was to evaluate our institutional rate of 30-day readmission for patients discharged with new tracheostomies and to identify risk factors associated with readmission.

Study Design:

A retrospective cohort study was conducted for all pediatric patients ages 0-18 years with new tracheostomies at our institution over a 36-month period.

Methods:

A chart review was performed for all newly tracheostomizedchildren from 2013 …

Barriers To Anticoagulation In Atrial Fibrillation Among Cardiologists, Internists And Family Physicians, Jad Al Danaf, Md, Mph, Mitul Kanzaria, Md, John U. Doherty, Md

House Staff Quality Improvement and Patient Safety Conference (2016-2019)

Current Performance:

The rates of AC in patients 18 years or older who visited general internists & family physicians not seen by cardiologists from 4/30/2013 to 4/30/2015, cardiologists from 11/29/2012 to 11/29/2014 and all 3 specialties from 1/30/2014 to 1/30/2016 were derived from the EHR.

A 12-question survey was shared using RedCap with these physicians to examine potential reasons for not prescribing AC.
