Reducing Daily Lab Draw Volume: An SHM Choosing Wisely Quality Improvement Implementation Module
  • 1.00 AMA PRA Category 1 Credit™
  • 1.00 Non-physician
$0.00
This module will review current knowledge regarding the utilization of routine and daily laboratory evaluation for hospitalized patients in the context of the Choosing Wisely campaign recommendation to not to perform repetitive complete blood count (CBC) and chemistry testing in the face of clinical and lab stability. The module will then walk through the “QI roadmap” briefly discussing how an institution can evaluate their local practice and improve performance in line with the Choosing Wisely recommendation. This module will review the relevant steps, but does assume that the audience is familiar with the content of the “Planning and Executing Quality Improvement Projects” QI CME module through SHM.
Transfusing Wisely - Implementing a Transfusion Quality Improvement Project: An SHM Choosing Wisely Quality Improvement Implementation Module
  • 1.00 AMA PRA Category 1 Credit™
  • 1.00 Non-physician
$0.00
Mounting evidence shows that the American healthcare system costs too much for the results it achieves in terms of patient outcomes and access. Many different parts of this system need attention, and it can be difficult to know where to begin. However, the inpatient / hospital environment is a “high intensity” healthcare delivery setting, and the “Choosing Wisely” initiative of the American Board of Internal Medicine (ABIM) offers a list of low value healthcare practices which make great targets for improvement efforts. In this module, we will tackle one of the top five practices chosen for Choosing Wisely by the Society of Hospital Medicine (SHM): excessive transfusion.

Fluid Resuscitation in the Critically Ill
  • 1.25 ABIM MOC Self Evaluation Points
  • 1.25 AMA PRA Category 1 Credit™
  • 1.25 Non-physician
$0.00
SERIES SUMMARYMany hospitalists provide critical care services without adequate support or training, putting patients at risk and exposing hospitalists to medical liability. This educational series covers common or high-risk clinical scenarios that hospitalists encounter in and out of the intensive care unit.TARGET AUDIENCEAny hospitalist physician or advanced practice provider who manages patients in an intensive care unit (ICU). 
Mechanical Ventilation Part III: ARDS
  • 0.75 ABIM MOC Self Evaluation Points
  • 0.75 AMA PRA Category 1 Credit™
  • 0.75 Non-physician
$0.00
SERIES SUMMARYMany hospitalists provide critical care services without adequate support or training, putting patients at risk and exposing hospitalists to medical liability. This educational series covers common or high-risk clinical scenarios that hospitalists encounter in and out of the intensive care unit.TARGET AUDIENCEAny hospitalist physician or advanced practice provider who manages patients in an intensive care unit (ICU). 
Perioperative Management of Anticoagulation
  • 2.00 ABIM MOC Self Evaluation Points
  • 2.00 AMA PRA Category 1 Credit™
$95.00
Current estimates indicate that 2 to 3 million Americans take anticoagulants for prevention of thromboembolism from venous thromboembolism, atrial fibrillation, or prosthetic heart valves. Invasive procedures are performed in as many as 250 000 patients taking anticoagulants on an annual basis in the United States. Consequently, management of anticoagulants in the perioperative period is a common and vexing challenge for physicians. Because not all patients are at the same risk of thromboembolism and not all procedures are associated with the same risk of bleeding, it is important for hospitalists to know how to weigh these risks in their patients. The purpose of this module is to review risk stratification for thromboembolism and bleeding associated with different thromboembolic disorders and invasive procedures.
Module 2: Overview of Society of Hospital Medicine's Facilitation of Anticoagulation for Safer Transitions (SHM FAST) Program
$0.00
SummaryThe second module of this two part series will provide and overview of the Society of Hospital Medicine's Facilitation of Anticoagulation for Safer Transitions (SHM FAST) Program. This module is a supplement to the SHM FAST Implementation Guide.Learning ObjectivesAfter completing the module, the participant will demonstrate the ability to:

Preoperative Diagnostic Testing And Utilization Of Basic Statistics
  • 2.00 ABIM MOC Self Evaluation Points
  • 2.00 AMA PRA Category 1 Credit™
$95.00
Preoperative testing can provide valuable information to identify patients who are at high risk for perioperative complications and reduce perioperative morbidity and mortality; however, there is little benefit from routinely testing patients who are known to be at low risk. The objectives of preoperative testing are to identify patients who are at high risk for perioperative complications, assess the severity or stability of existing medical problems, and evaluate abnormal symptoms or signs detected during the preoperative assessment. This module discusses the common challenges and pitfalls of preoperative testing, describes how pretest probability influences the decision to order preoperative tests, and identifies appropriate indications for laboratory, radiologic, and other forms of preoperative test screening. The selection of appropriate screening tools to identify patients at high risk for specific perioperative complications and the use of post-test probability to select and interpret preoperative diagnostic testing is also examined.
