A novel, hospital-led telephone follow-up program was implemented by a multi-disciplinary clinical trauma service team at a Level I trauma center. This process evaluation examined what factors promoted or impeded the program’s implementation. Methods A prospective convergent mixed-methods process evaluation design was used. Quantitative data included patient and injury demographics and program feasibility data such number of telephone calls attempted/completed and call duration. Qualitative data consisted of semi-structured interviews with program participants (staff, patients, and caregivers) who had participated in the program. Descriptive statistics and thematic analysis were applied to quantitative and qualitative data, respectively. Data were collected concurrently and merged in the results to understand and describe the implementation and sustainability of the program.274 major trauma patients (ISS ≥ 12) were eligible for follow-up. A response rate of over 75% was achieved, with nurses responsible for most of the calls. Limited time and competing clinical demands were identified as barriers to the timely completion of the calls. Results Participants valued the preexisting trauma service/patient relationship, and this facilitated program implementation. Clinicians were motivated to evaluate their patient’s recovery, whilst patients felt ‘cared for’ and ‘not forgotten’ post-hospital discharge. Teamwork and leadership were highly valued by the clinical staff throughout the implementation period as ongoing source of motivation and support. Staff spontaneously developed the program to incorporate clinical follow-up processes by providing guidance, advice, and referrals to patients who indicated ongoing issues such as pain or emotional problems. Conclusion Telephone follow-up within a clinical trauma service team is feasible, accepted by staff and valued by patients and families. Despite time constraints, the successful implementation of this program is reliant on existing clinical/patient relationships, staff teamwork and leadership support.","PeriodicalId":75913,"journal":{"name":"Hospital practice","volume":"50 1","pages":"138 - 150"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-03-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46886323","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Methods A prospective intervention study was conducted among 507 cancer-free (except skin cancer) women aged 50–75 years hospitalized to a general medicine service. Study intervention included one-on-one bedside education via handout and videos about breast cancer screening and informed individualized risk assessment using the Gail risk model to predict 5-year risk for breast cancer development. Study outcomes were measured using posthospitalization follow-up survey to determine if intervention resulted in improved adherence to breast cancer screening. Chi-square and unpaired t-tests were utilized to compare population characteristics. Results The mean age for the study population was 60.5 years (SD = 6.9), the mean 5-year Gail risk score was 1.77 (SD = 1), and 36% of women were African American. One hundred sixty nine (33%) hospitalized women were nonadherent to breast cancer screening recommendations. Only 15% of the nonadherent women were reachable for follow-up survey, and 42% of these women self-reported adherence to screening mammography after a mean follow-up period of 27 months. Conclusion This study provides evidence that most women who are nonadherent to breast cancer screening remain nonadherent after hospital discharge despite educational interventions. Our study intervention was only partially successful in enhancing breast cancer screening among hospitalized women who were overdue and at high risk. Further studies need to evaluate strategies to overcome the barriers and improve adherence whenever patients encounter health care system regardless of clinical locale.","PeriodicalId":75913,"journal":{"name":"Hospital practice","volume":"50 1","pages":"132 - 137"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-03-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49320967","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Methods The leadership of our academic hospital medicine group designed a geographic rounding intervention with the goal of improving provider satisfaction and mitigating burnout. Our quantitative analysis compared the pre-intervention and post-intervention time periods with regard to progress note completion time, after-hours progress note completion, secure messaging communication volume, and Mini-Z survey results. A post-intervention qualitative analysis was performed to further explore the relationship between geographic rounding and the drivers of burnout. Results Following the intervention, 97% of geographic rounders were localized to one or two geographic areas and 77% were localized to a single geographic area. Following the implementation of geographic rounding, progress notes were completed an average of 29 minutes earlier (p < 0.001). The proportion of progress notes completed after-hours decreased from 25.1% to 20% (p < 0.001). The volume of secure messages received by hospitalists decreased from 1.95 to 1.8 per patient per day (p < 0.001). The proportion of hospitalists reporting no burnout increased from 77.8% to 93% after implementing geographic rounding, a change that did not reach statistical significance (p = 0.1). Qualitative analysis revealed mixed effects on work environment but improvements in efficiency, patient-centeredness, communication with nurses, and job satisfaction. Conclusion Geographic rounding represents an organization-level change that has the potential to improve hospitalist career satisfaction.","PeriodicalId":75913,"journal":{"name":"Hospital practice","volume":"1 3","pages":"124 - 131"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-03-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41258114","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The first oral regimen, which used a widely available brand of combined estrogen–progestin oral contraceptive pills, was published in 1974 (7). Research on progestin-only regimens for occasional postcoital use by women having infrequent sexual intercourse also began at approximately the same time (8). Data regarding the use of IUDs as emergency contraceptives were initially published in the 1970s and, more recently, selective progesterone receptor modulators were introduced. The most commonly used oral emergency contraceptive regimen is the progestin-only pill, which consists of 1.5 mg of levonorgestrel (Table 1). This product can be purchased over the counter and is available without age restriction as of 2013. The product using two levonorgestrel doses of 0.75 mg has fallen out of use in favor of the simpler one-dose regimen, which is at least as effective as the two-dose product (9, 10). The levonorgestrel regimen is labeled for use for up to 72 hours after unprotected sex but is best used as soon as possible after unprotected sex (10–14) (Table 1). A second dedicated emergency contraceptive, a pill containing 30 mg of ulipristal acetate, was approved by the FDA in 2010 and requires a prescription. This selective progesterone receptor modulator, or antiprogestin, has demonstrated effectiveness up to 120 hours after unprotected sex (14) (Table 1). Combined estrogen–progestin emergency contraceptive regimens are no longer sold as a dedicated product.
