Introduction: Intervisit care, asynchronous care provided between patient visits, represents an essential part of patient care. Despite the importance of intervisit care, residency programs have not traditionally taught residents how to effectively manage intervisit care within the formal curriculum. We aimed to improve resident preparedness in providing intervisit care with an intervisit workshop.

From 2016 to 2021, students were asked to identify a patient safety event and indicate if the event required an incident report. Assignments were reviewed and coded based on Joint Commission incident definitions.

- The modified early warning score (mEWS) is used to detect deteriorating patients in critical care, with the study focusing on its impact on neurosurgical patient outcomes and costs.
- A retrospective analysis of 1,408 patients revealed that higher maximum mEWS correlated with longer hospital stays, worse discharge outcomes, increased mortality rates, and higher hospitalization costs.
- Machine learning models predicted patient outcomes effectively, suggesting that integrating the mEWS with other clinical factors could enhance patient care in neurosurgery.
