Context: Hospitalized patients with advanced cancer often face complex, preference-sensitive decisions. How clinicians and patients engage in shared decision-making during goals-of-care discussions is not well understood.

Objective: The objective of this study was to explore decision-making by patients and clinicians during inpatient goals-of-care discussions.

Purpose: Physicians-in-training often perform bedside thoracenteses in academic medical centers, and complications are more common among less experienced clinicians. Simulation-based mastery learning (SBML) is one potential solution to this problem. This study evaluated the effects of a randomized trial of thoracentesis SBML on patient complications: iatrogenic pneumothorax (IP), hemothorax, and reexpansion pulmonary edema (REPE).

Context: Although code status discussions (CSD) occur frequently in the hospital setting, discussions often lack content necessary for informed decision making. Simulation-based mastery learning (SBML) has been used to improve clinical skills among resident physicians and may provide a novel way to improve hospitalists' CSD skills.

Objectives: The objective of this pilot randomized controlled trial was to develop and evaluate a CSD SBML intervention for hospitalists.

Importance: Though interprofessional bedside rounds have been promoted to enhance patient-centred care for hospitalised patients, few studies have been conducted in adult hospital settings and evidence of impact is lacking.

Objective: To evaluate the effect of patient-centred bedside rounds (PCBRs) on measures of patient-centred care.

Design And Setting: Cluster randomised controlled trial involving four similar non-teaching hospitalist service units in a large urban hospital.
