A Remote Management-Centric Post-Discharge Pathway for Patients Admitted to GIM with Heart Failure.

Background: Few GIM-specific heart failure transition of care (TOC) programs exist. We thus piloted a TOC program for heart failure patients discharged from GIM that incorporates a remote patient management program, Medly.

Methods: This single-centre, prospective proof-of-concept study described sociodemographic and medical characteristics of included patients, and computed summary statistics to describe clinical and workload outcomes.

A Dialogic Approach to Teaching Person-Centered Care in Graduate Medical Education.

Background: Training future physicians to provide compassionate, equitable, person-centered care remains a challenge for medical educators. Dialogues offer an opportunity to extend person-centered education into clinical care. In contrast to discussions, dialogues encourage the sharing of authority, expertise, and perspectives to promote new ways of understanding oneself and the world.

Standardized patient simulation versus didactic teaching alone for improving residents' communication skills when discussing goals of care and resuscitation: A randomized controlled trial.

Background: Communication skills are important when discussing goals of care and resuscitation. Few studies have evaluated the effectiveness of standardized patients for teaching medical trainees to communicate about goals of care.

Objective: To determine whether standardized patient simulation offers benefit over didactic sessions alone for improving skill and comfort discussing goals of care.
