Changes for Next Year

• Ambulatory • Electives • Jeopardy

Ambulatory Model 2.0

• • • • • 2013-2014:

four

ambulatory blocks and

2-4 clinics

in elective 2014-2015:

five

ambulatory blocks and

no

a panel management day) clinic in elective (there is “6+2” model – 6 weeks of ICU/wards/elective – 2 weeks of dedicated ambulatory – 7 half days of clinic each block and 1 administrative half day Positive Effect – Continuity: you and three other seniors make up a team (with two interns) and see the same patients (great for you and the patients!) – Electives Preserved: you can make more of your elective now!

– Curriculum: streamlined and less repetitive New Challenges – Ambulatory blocks are

fixed (cannot trade)

– Change is uncomfortable, but we do it to try and make things better

Electives

• • • • PGY II: 8 weeks PGY III: 12 weeks Quality Chief will now be assisting Barb in keeping a running list of what you are doing for elective For ACGME requirements each resident must have a specified activity and supervisor for each elective

Example Elective Tracking

Electives

• • Research Electives: • • Must have a mentor/PI for project If doing two weeks (or more) of research elective, you are

required

to present a poster at Medicine Research Day Reading Electives: • Requires approval, KBA is designated supervisor • Required attendance at

all

UH noon conferences, UH M+Ms, UH Grand Rounds, VA Grand Rounds

Elective Reminder

• • Elective Professionalism • • Elective is not vacation You are back-up jep and expected to be in Cleveland • If you are going out of town, please let the Ambulatory chief know “Don’t you remember when you were a resident?” • Having your pager on 24/7 on elective is unreasonable • Everyone on elective is back-up jep any given day, but we can

assign people on specific days

to be the first called so you know when to have your pager with you

Jeopardy

• • • • Minor changes to the jeopardy system will be made Use of jeopardy will be tracked for training/support purposes – Make sure everyone is meeting minimum requirements – Make sure we provide help and resources to those that need it Those getting jepped from electives will be tracked as well – Ties into the “first call” back-up jep list, you move down the list after getting jepped – Makes the system more fair KEY Points – Jeopardy still remains for emergencies and significant illness – Unless there is excessive use of jeopardy (decided on a case by case basis), you are not expected to pay back – There is still a jep rotation, coverage here is not tracked and you do not get paid back

BOARDS!!!

• Register starting in December • Plan ahead…costs about $1,365 (more if you sign up late) • Noon Conferences to include more board prep sessions • Can use ITE exam results to help guide studying

• • •

In-service Training exam

• In-service Exam Dates are in October – exam is completely computerized this year Includes all PGY2/3, PGY1’s?

ITE during 2 nd boards year is an important predictor of passing • • • • ITE remediation by percentile rank >50% - no remediation, continue to study 31-49% - turn in in 60 multiple choice questions every 4 weeks to assigned APD for review; continue studying and attend board review sessions • 16-30% - high risk for ABIM failure multiple choice questions as above with directed notes If you are not already doing this PLEASE talk with us or your APD, ABIM failure is no joke 1-16% - more intense remediation, urgent intervention required (we are here to help!)

Medical License

• Remember to keep your BLS/ACLS updated • Must have Step 3 results prior to license application • Start FCVS by December ($430) • State licensing ($335) can often take 5-6 months. • DEA license is much quicker but more expensive ($551) • Plan ahead!!!

Senior Grand Rounds

DACR / NACR:

Your education in systems-based practice

To Admit vs. Observe

• Arose out of for profit hospital chain fraud • Requires attending to sign and admission order that includes language that the attending expects the patients medical problems to require admission for two days • Some logistical issues on getting attendings to sign/place order

The NIGHTFLOAT TEAM

NACR Nightfloat Resident Rotating MSIII Nightfloat Intern Rotating MSIII Nightfloat Resident Nightfloat Intern Nightfloat Intern

The NACR as Ombudsman*

• Distribute admissions to teams on call in AM • Enforce geographic localization • Run codes • • See medicine consults at night (ophtho and ortho co-management if requested) • Cover emergencies in CF patients on RBC 7/Lakeside and Hanna House Cover flex patients at night and ?additional PRN SHD patients • Find out intern census from nightfloat interns for each team • Admit BMT and Transplant Medicine patients along with NF (must inform BMT fellow and Transplant attending) • Transplants within the past year should be admitted to transplant surgery *****Transplant service is not the Transplant attending! MUST ASK OPERATOR FOR TRANSPLANT ATTENDING!!!!******

*ombudsman – one who investigates complaints and mediates fair settlements, especially between aggrieved parties such as consumers or students and an institution or organization

as it should be…

Medicine Fam Med Neuro Surgery Ortho Transplant ENT

“

The Book

”

according to the ED… Medicine Surgery Fam Med Neuro Ortho Transplant ENT

ED Patient enters ED, decision to admit Admitting ED enters admitting bed request ED pages NACR for signout Admitting pages NACR with bed request Medicine floor admission appropriate?

No Ask ED attending to reconsider triage of patient, work-up, or admitting service Yes NACR calls admitting and makes appropriate bed assignment

NACR OVERVIEW

Medicine NACR assigns admission to NF or her/himself NACR distributes patients in the AM with help of KBA and chief

Appropriate Service?

Is the patient stable for the floor?

Yes No MICU/CICU/NSU/SICU PCP in FP?

Yes Appropriate for FP?

Yes Have ED call FM (30116). If capped, then ED calls NACR back with admission.

No Appropriate for medicine?

Yes FM capped !?&*#@!

No Stroke, SBO, femur fracture, etc Talk to ER, if

attending

from appropriate service does not accept, “Medicine will happily accept the patient”

Appropriate Service?

• Look up the patient in Portal and EMR before assigning • Patient ’ s PCP – Family practice patient? Private patient (list of attendings available)? • Fang Service does not have a cap per Dr. Oliviera; if they have been seen in HF and are coming in w/ HF exacerbation, have ED call the overnight admissions person • Physician Portal (summary page, physicians) • Previous discharge summaries • EMR patient info clinical summary (visit history) • Ask the patient!

NACR

• • • The two most important things you can do as NACR: • 1) Admit the patient to the appropriate service (never forget to look up PCP/patient info/dc summaries) • 2) Plan ahead and assign patient to appropriate floor based on available spots/admitting diagnosis/co-morbidities ie.

GEO LOC

Be proactive – keep an eye on the ED board If the patient is unstable or you do not feel comfortable, it is okay to ask for ED to either re-triage patient (ie MICU/CICU) or to set a goal for admission to the floor (eg BP should be better than 240/120 for me to admit this HTN urgency to the floor)

Before your first NACR night, you will have a more detailed orientation with one of the chiefs at UH.

NACR specifics

• • • •

8pm – midnight:

• Meet Admissions Coordinator in KACR to get sign out • print out new board (on medicine.case.edu; UH resources) • start NACR sheet, Admissions Coordinator will be holding the book and pagers until midnight on the weekdays, so this is your PRIME admitting time • Usually try to see most of your patients at this time; orders and notes can be done after the MAN is gone

Midnight and after:

• Stay on top of the ED board • Master the art of the NACR

5-6am

• Get organized, make copies of NACR sheet, get intern census • Talk to NFs regarding admits and appropriateness for teams; biggest decisions are Hosp/NPs vs. flex

6:30-8am

• Review admits with KBA and SMAK • 8am hospitalists call for assignment • • Fax assignment sheets from day prior and overnight to admitting and hospitalist offices Call non-teaching services to assign patients (Fang/Transplant/BMT)

Chief Resident may call you to check in on your first NACR night

Types of Patients

• Private (PCP will attend) – Coviello, Schnall, D. Brown, DeJoseph, Junglas, King, Tomm, Locke • ER must call private attendings; but if the patient is on the floor and the ER did not call, it is the DACR/NACR responsibility • Assign to med NPs (private spots) during the day! If no spots, then flex versus team (Eckel, Carpenter, or Gen Med; not Ratnoff/Weisman/Hellerstein) • D. Brown must be flex (not NP) • Staff – NPs (no procedures), hospitalists (few social issues low complexity), general medicine teams *Non-cardiology patients needing telemetry can go to Hellerstein and hospitalists (not med NP)

Types of patients

Specialty services:

• Eckel: ESRD, hypertensive urgency/emergency. ESRD transfers need to be accepted by Nephrologist.

• Ratnoff/Weisman: SCC with active issues • Hellerstein: active cardiology issues (regardless of PCP) • Dworkin: GI patients (abdominal pain anyone?). Can take liver to a cap of 3 (but flexible) if liver attending accepts • Fang service: HF issue who is seen by a HF attending (Oliviera, El-Amm, Ginwalla, Effron) • Patients with no right answer (HIV patient with ESRD and chest pain followed in HF clinic) - most active issue prevails

Types of Patients

 HIV patients go to Carpenter -When Carpenter is not admitting, give them one a day early or have resident flex  Pulmonary cases go to general medicine -Pulmonary HTN and flolan patients need to be on T5 and goes to Hellerstein/Gen Med  MICU transfers followed by renal consult team -If chronic  -If acute  Eckel gen med with renal consult

Non-Teaching Services

• • • • You or DACR will get an e-mail stating the number of open spots for the next day for MNP, Berger Hospitalist A (NPs), B, C, and D will call the Admissions Coordinator at 8am (make sure they are written in the book) Fang Service – Call with admissions in AM; apparently they have no cap… Transplant/BMT – Overnight admissions should have been discussed with transplant attending or BMT fellow; it is good practice to call in AM to make sure the team is aware of the patient

NPs

•

Medical Nurse Practitioners

• Patients who do not need procedures • Patients who are not being ruled out for ACS •

CAN take syncope patients on tele

• They will take most private patients (not D. Brown) • Can take very complex patients!

•

Berger Nurse Practitioners

• Stable patients who do not need procedures: sickle cell, pain management, hospice, routine chemo admissions

Hospitalist B, C, & D

• Have a cap of 12 patients each • Straightforward medicine patients without complicated social issues • Try to give them patients whom you anticipate will have short stays • • • Unfilled spots rollover to the next day Cannot take ICU transfers that were in unit >48h Take bouncebacks, but count against cap

Fang Service

• Two NPs with Hellerstein fellow • During the week, admit cardiology patients to team cap • Will take NF admits and CICU transfers • “No cap”, but chief/KBA may need to speak with attending in AM • All Effron/Heart Failure patients

Moonlighting

• • •

Cross-Cover Long House Doc: 8pm to 8am

• Cover the nurse practitioner, BMT, hospitalist services, and Hanna House overnight • Admits one patient per night (or three if NP on with them) • Holds transfer pager (remember, don’t accept ESRD – Nephrology must!)

Early and Late Short House Doc

• Each admits three patients

Admitting Long House Doc: 6pm to 6am

• Admits six patients • Bomb the long house doc!

• • • • Give them private patients that go to the NPs Must cap them!

No admissions after 0400

Appropriate patient selection for the house doc is key; in most cases these patient should not come back to the housestaff the next day

ED Issues

•

Neurology:

• Strokes go to neurology • Seizures – try neuro first • • • General Surgery: insist (politely) that they take SBOs, etc • Make the resident call their attending (or do it for them) VA: far better to transfer BEFORE admission Ortho: perhaps worth arguing, but Medicine co-manages most ortho patients (NACR/DACR consult)

Other Duties: Medicine Consults

• See the patient in a timely fashion • Write a note • Leave at least a preliminary note in the chart • Call the Gen Med consult attending if needed • Co-management with orthopedicsWe follow along with ortho patients; they don ’ t need a “ question ” • You can put in orders dealing with medical issues

Co-management Memos

• • ENT and Ophtho have specific co management pathways (in handout) It is a good idea to review these prior to your first NACR

Transfers to Medicine

• • All transfers to medicine must be approved by medicine consult attending (not Dr. Whelan), chiefs, or KBA • Your medicine attending can ONLY accept to general medicine (Naff/Wearn, MNP etc); if the other service wants to transfer to a subspecialty team (ie Dworkin), they MUST consult the attending on call for the day Consults for transfer to medicine: • If clear subspecialty issue, refer to appropriate attending • If clear gen med transfer, no consult necessary • If unclear, offer to do a consult and staff with attending •

Don’t accept inter-service transfers overnight

Outside Hospital Transfers

• Transfer Center • 41111 • Attendings are supposed to call 67121 or page 30512 when they accept a patient • 8 am – 8 pm – Rotating attendings • M-W: Chief Resident and KBA • Th-F: Dr. Chandra et al • 8 pm – 8 am – Cross-Cover Long House Doc

DACR/NACR Hours

• DACR = 8am – 8pm • NACR = 8pm – 8am • MAN = 8am – 12am (8pm on weekends) • DACRs come to morning report, Grand Rounds, and M&Ms • NACRs have a staff attending on call

Running Codes

Code Whites (UH)

** 1 ST six months – an upper level must go to all Code Whites with an intern** • Sick or decompensating patients on the floor or Hanna House • Initial response from ICU nurse, intern, and PGY2 • DACR/NACR for level 2 code white • If you want to transfer to MICU, call MICU fellow • Always write a Clinical Event Note!

Code Blues

• Check your own pulse first • “ Too many chefs spoil the soup ” • • • One person leads the code Make sure interns are involved Maintain a calm quiet atmosphere • Keep the ACLS cards in your pocket until you are comfortable with the protocols • Make sure your BLS and ACLS are up to date • CODE BLUE NOTE and notify family; DEATH NOTE if patient passes; notify attending

Running Codes

• Rule #1: You are in charge • If uncomfortable, defer to more senior resident • Delegate, delegate, delegate – assign crowd control, chest compressions, airway, etc.

• Use the DACR/NACR if you need help • Don’t be afraid to ask people to leave the room • Call the ICU nurses by their name, closed-ended communication • Assign someone to call the family • Use the Code Note EMR, sign code sheet

Running Codes

Notifying attendings at night • Most attendings want to be paged and notified (either of transfer to ICU or death) • Can clarify with your attending on first day of service what their preferences are • Don ’ t get burned by not calling your attending- you may hear about it the next day

We are looking forward to a great year together!!!
