Hospital Medicine Process Improvement and Care Innovation
Resident Noon ConferenceJuly 17, 2013
Rajesh Chandra, M.D.
Division ChiefGeneral Internal Medicine
University Hospitals Case Medical Center
Learning Objectives
• Understand the basic principles & practice of General Internal Medicine in the inpatient setting
in today’s healthcare environment
• Process improvement
- Simplifying a complex task
- Making Patient Care and management - safe- comprehensive
- complete- efficient - high quality - professional
Patient ManagementProcess Improvement and Care Innovation
• Initial Assessment – the H & P
– developing a “PROBLEM LIST approach”
• Turning the Problem list into a “to do list” or a “checklist”
• CASE STUDY– Compare a traditional approach to a “problem-list” approach
• The d/c summary – making it an effective & high quality document
Patient ManagementProcess Improvement and Care Innovation
Case
65 yo male with a h/o COPD presents with a 3 day h/o a productive cough, fever and SOB. 2 days prior he also noted some right sided CP with breathing or coughing. His cough is productive of thick tan colored sputum.
CasePMHxCOPDHTNDMNo prior surgeries
FMhx – nothing relevant
Meds – Combivent, Lisinopril, HCTZ, Insulin
Allergies – none
CaseSocial history
• Smokes 1 ppd and has been smoking since he was a teenager
• Drinks alcohol – 1- 2 beers 4 – 5 days every week; started drinking in is mid-twenties;
• No h/o alcohol withdrawal symptoms when he hasn’t drank for a few days.
Occupational hx Works as a car salesman
Case
ROS
• Decreased exercise capacity over the past 2 months – can walk only 2 blocks before he has to stop to catch his breath
• Anorexia – over the past month• Weight loss ~ 15 lb over the past 4 - 5 weeks• Occasional BRBPR – painless bleeding usually
occurs with straining
CasePhysical Exam
• Awake, alert and lucid; in NAD but appears ill
• T 38.3, P 109, R 24, BP 110/70, pox 88% on RA, 95% on 2L
• Oral – dry, coated tongue
• No raised JVP; No neck lymphadenopathy
• Lungs – Right side basilar crackles and diffuse b/l expiratory wheezing
• CVS – S1, S2 – nl; no murmurs
• Abd – soft, NT, NDRt. groin non-tender irreducible 3cm x 3cm lumpLiver edge felt 2cm below RCM with liver span ~ 14cm No ascites
• Ext – no edema
• Neuro – no focal motor deficit
CaseSignificant Labs & Radiology:
Blood Glucose – 353
Na 130 Cl 89 K 3.5 CO2 28 BUN 40 Cr 1.7
WBC 17000 Hgb 10.7 Hct 31 MCV 90
Platelets 105,000
LFTs – AST 256 ALT 120 TBil 1.3
CXR – Right LL infiltrate + LLL nodule
Case Summary (traditional)65 yo male with a h/o COPD, DM and HTN presenting with a 3 day h/o a productive cough, SOB, fever and right sided pleuritic CP.
PE remarkable for - “looks dry and weak”, Right basilar crackles and diffuse expiratory wheezes.
Has a leucocytosis, elevated BUN and Cr and CXR shows a RLL infiltrate.
Working diagnoses – RLL Pneumonia
COPD Exacerbation
Dehydration
AKI secondary to dehydration
Problem list approach
The “problem” can be:
- a symptom
- a sign
- an abnormal lab or radiology finding either consistent with
the acute illness or an incidental finding
- It can be a specific disease or diagnosis
- Patient’s chronic illnesses need to be included especially
if active or needs regular monitoring or assessment or
medications
(DM, HTN, GERD, PUD, OA, RA, Cirrhosis etc.)

• Hospital course
Problem List ApproachBenefits
• Organized and professional• It’s Comprehensive Care (VBP, ACO, HACs, EMR)• Provides a medicolegal safety net for physicians• A master document or clinical guide to work off from • Follow problems daily – use as template for daily
progress notes, modify as necessary & add any new issues
• Organizes daily rounds and makes them efficient• Can be incorporate into the discharge summary• Simply……it’s just good medicine!
