Article Synopsis
- Patient and Family Centered I-PASS (PFC I-PASS) is a program that helps families and nurses work together better during hospital rounds to keep everyone informed and safe.
- A study looked at how well this program worked in different hospitals over three years by observing rounds and getting feedback from families, nurses, and doctors.
- The results showed big improvements in teamwork, communication, and safety, especially in larger hospitals and those with more nurse involvement, making the overall hospital experience better for patients and their families.
Importance: Patients with language barriers have a higher risk of experiencing hospital safety events. This study hypothesized that language barriers would be associated with poorer perceptions of hospital safety climate relating to communication openness.
Objective: To examine disparities in reported hospital safety climate by language proficiency in a cohort of hospitalized children and their families.
Background: The American Board of Internal Medicine Foundation's Choosing Wisely campaign has resulted in a vast number of recommendations to reduce low-value care. Implementation of these recommendations, in conjunction with patient input, remains challenging.
Objective: To create updated Society of Hospital Medicine Adult Hospitalist Choosing Wisely recommendations that incorporate patient input from inception.
