Is There a Urologist in the House? Trends in the Management of Consults Based on Shift, Location and Resident Organization.

Introduction: Consultations represent a significant workload for inpatient urology providers, yet consult patterns are poorly described. We report trends in billable urology consult activity by location, time and organization of consult residents at a single institution.

Methods: Using a secure database urology consults between 2011 and 2018 at an academic center were recorded.

Novel Health Information Technology Tool Use by Adult Patients Undergoing Allogeneic Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation: Longitudinal Quantitative and Qualitative Patient-Reported Outcomes.

Purpose: Health information technology (IT) is an ideal medium to improve the delivery of patient-centered care and increase patient engagement. Health IT interventions should be designed with the end user in mind and be specific to the needs of a given population. Hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT), commonly referred to as blood and marrow transplantation (BMT), is a prime example of a complex medical procedure where patient-caregiver-provider engagement is central to a safe and successful outcome.

BMT Roadmap: A User-Centered Design Health Information Technology Tool to Promote Patient-Centered Care in Pediatric Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation.

Health information technology (HIT) has great potential for increasing patient engagement. Pediatric hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) is a setting ripe for using HIT but in which little research exists. "BMT Roadmap" is a web-based application that integrates patient-specific information and includes several domains: laboratory results, medications, clinical trial details, photos of the healthcare team, trajectory of transplant process, and discharge checklist.
