Background: Academic gastroenterology (GI) hospitalists are increasing, however the impacts on fellowship training and clinical care are unclear. Motivations for implementation of the GI hospitalist model are uninvestigated.
Aims: We aimed to determine the prevalence of GI hospitalists, explore motivations for and against adoption of a GIH model, and investigate the model's effects on fellowship training.
Methods: Leadership at current general GI fellowships were surveyed about current staffing models, as well as effects and perceptions of the hospitalist model.
Results: There was a total of 52 (26%) respondents and 12 (23%) reported having a GI hospitalist at their institution. A majority of respondents stated burnout and reduced time on service for other faculty was a primary reason for hiring a GI hospitalist.
Discussion: The largest perceived benefit of a hospitalist is reduced burnout and time on service for outpatient GI faculty. Many respondents also believed a GIH would improve fellowship education and quality of inpatient care.

Department of Emergency Medicine, University of Massachusetts Chan Medical School-Baystate, Springfield.
Importance: Despite guideline recommendations to use low-molecular-weight heparins (LMWHs) or direct oral anticoagulants in the treatment of most patients with acute pulmonary embolism (PE), US-based studies have found increasing use of unfractionated heparin (UFH) in hospitalized patients.
Objective: To identify barriers and facilitators of guideline-concordant anticoagulation in patients hospitalized with acute PE.
Design, Setting, And Participants: This qualitative study conducted semistructured interviews from February 1 to June 3, 2024, that were recorded, transcribed, and analyzed in an iterative process using reflexive thematic analysis.

Background: Clinician electronic actions within the electronic health record (EHR) are captured seamlessly in real-time during regular work activities in all major EHRs. Analysis of this EHR use metadata, such as audit log data, is increasingly used to understand the impact of work design on critical patient, workforce, and organizational outcomes.

Section of Hospital Medicine, University of Chicago Department of Medicine, Chicago, Illinois, USA.
Introduction: High-frequency recurring orders placed through the electronic medical record (EMR) may contribute to unnecessary care in hospitalised patients. This quality initiative sought to develop and pilot test a hospital order set for bundled review and de-implementation of common recurring orders.
Methods: A voluntary-use EMR order set was developed to display low-frequency order alternatives for common hospital care components.

Importance: Hospital wards are often not conducive to patient sleep, negatively affecting patient health and experience.
Objectives: To assess determinants of in-hospital restfulness and to design and test rest-promoting interventions on the wards in partnership with clinicians, staff, and patients.
Design, Setting, And Participants: This rapid-sequential mixed-methods quality improvement study was performed at a large urban academic hospital in St Louis, Missouri, from May 1, 2021, to December 31, 2022, with follow-up through hospitalization.

Frontier Nursing University DNP Faculty, Harrisburg, VA, USA.
Approximately 2.5 million hospital visits in the United States are due to pressure injuries (PIs), costing $11 billion and resulting in 60,000 deaths annually. The objective of the study is to decrease the incidence of PIs in a hospital setting using Situation, Background, Assessment, Recommendations, Wounds (SBARW) report sheets, turn clocks, and team engagement in a nurse-led quality improvement initiative.
