House Staff Quality Improvement and Patient Safety Conference (2016-2019)
Objective
To prospectively conduct a "mock trial" among 100% (minimum n=200) of elective neurosurgery spine patients to estimate the total projected cost, savings, risk, and feasibility of a redefined/restricted lab testing protocol over the next 12 months

House Staff Quality Improvement and Patient Safety Conference (2016-2019)
Objectives
- Create a method for analyzing different handoffs in a variety of clinical settings and scenarios at TJUH.
- Develop a set of standardized survey tools using existing validated language to quantify the perceptions, quality, and needs for different patient care transitions.
- Use results from these tools to cater focused handoff improvement interventions for specific patient care settings.

House Staff Quality Improvement and Patient Safety Conference (2016-2019)
Introduction
The care of neurosurgical spine patients often involves a multi-disciplinary team, including neurosurgery residents, hospitalists, nursing staff, and physical/occupational therapists.
Oftentimes, post-op spine patients are on a non-neurosurgical service (hospitalist, MICU/SICU, medicine), who are provided with scant sign out on the procedure(s) performed.
The treatment team(s) that are helping manage patient care post-operatively are often unaware of the procedure performed, and what are the salient clinical signs/symptoms, radiographic findings, and laboratory values that need to be closely monitored

House Staff Quality Improvement and Patient Safety Conference (2016-2019)
Objective
Our goal was to investigate possible ways to improve the transition of care when patients are transferred to Jefferson Center City. As a quaternary care hospital with a large transfer volume, it is especially important to look for ways to optimize this process because it can improve timely patient care, reduce and eliminate unnecessary studies and diagnostic tests and save time and work that could be better spent in other aspects of treating the patient.
