Utilizing Quality Improvement Methodology to Address Disparities in Colorectal Cancer Screening Between Faculty and Resident Physicians.

Health system data from a large academic medical center revealed a 14% lower rate of colorectal cancer (CRC) screening in resident patient panels compared to faculty patient panels. This resident-led quality improvement (QI) work identified causes for disparities in CRC screening and implemented an innovative panel management intervention to reduce CRC screening disparities. Analysis was conducted across two academic primary care clinics at a single institution.

Regurgitation, eructation, and supragastric belch: retrograde esophageal motility, disorders, and treatment.

Purpose Of Review: This review describes pathologic conditions of retrograde flow into the esophagus along with recent therapeutic advances and treatment options.

Recent Findings: The esophagus facilitates anterograde and retrograde movement of contents, the latter of which is mediated by transient lower esophageal sphincter relaxations (TLESRs). Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) often includes esophageal-specific symptoms such as heartburn or regurgitation.

Multidisciplinary Development and Implementation of a Trial of Void Algorithm to Standardize and Reduce Indwelling Urethral Catheter Use.

Introduction: Prolonged indwelling catheter use is a known risk factor for catheter-associated UTIs (CAUTIs). We sought to reduce catheter use by creating and implementing a trial of void (TOV) algorithm to standardize indwelling Foley catheter removal in surgical patients.

Methods: We partnered with the Departments of General Surgery and Nursing to develop an evidence-based TOV algorithm for a step-down unit at a large urban teaching hospital.
