Pain is probably the most common presenting or associated symptom in patients in the hospital, and patients are often more concerned about being in pain than they are about the primary reason for admission. Pain is a completely subjective experience that is the consequence of the filtering, modulating, and distorting of the afferent nerve activity (i.e., nociceptive input) through the affective (i.e., limbic system) and cognitive processes unique to each individual. The following educational module discusses why postoperative pain requires treatment, outlines methods for performing a proper assessment of pain, provides strategies for utilizing patient-controlled analgesia safely and effectively, and summarizes the use of opioid and non-opioid analgesics in the postoperative setting to help hospitalists improve patients’ quality of recovery and life.

SummaryThis module addresses how environmental sustainability interfaces with high value care by looking at the high value equation wherein outcomes and patient experience are measured in the context of financial costs to the system and the patients. This module further attempts to help clinicians feel more connected to the environmental impact of their work.

SummaryThis presentation addresses the health impacts of extreme heat, with a focus on increased mortality with heat and the disproportionate effects on environmental justice communities such as those living in urban heat islands and vulnerable groups such as the elderly, those with comorbidities, outdoor workers, and pregnant women.

SummaryIn this module, we will explore the ways in which climate change impacts the health, well-being, and health equity of children and adolescents. Part of that exploration will analyze how unique pediatric physiology can increase a child's vulnerability to the direct and indirect environmental effects of climate change. Throughout the session, real-world examples will highlight how climate change exacerbates health inequities and environmental injustices by disproportionately impacting vulnerable and marginalized communities.

This session is presented by Jose Mercado, MD and Reinaldo Perez, MD. Our moderator is Joseph Sweigart, MD, FHM, SFHM.
Outpatient Parenteral Antibiotic Therapy (OPAT) has served a key role in the treatment of severe and difficult to treat infections such osteomyelitis and bacteremia. However, use of prolonged antibiotic therapy can be associated with line related complications, prolonged hospitalization, and logistical challenges for follow up. This session seeks to review the latest data on long acting infusion based antibiotics and oral therapies with high oral bioavailability that can safely serve as alternatives to intravenous treatment.

Module SummaryAir pollution is a often unrecognized risk factor for developing and dying from lung cancer, but is labelled a Class I carcinogen by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC).This module will review the mechanism of action by which air pollution and it constituents, particularly PM2.5, cause lung cancer and its effect on lung cancer patients worldwide.
