Brief Summary:
This project aims to define the problem of results that return after patient discharge and to study the implementation of an Electronic Medical Record EMR-based system for tracking these results
Detailed Description:
The transfer of care at hospital discharge is complex and requires the transmission of large amounts of data between inpatient physicians hospitalists and outpatient physicians PCPs including information about pending tests Frequently laboratory and radiology tests are not finalized until after a patient is discharged and when the responsibility for these pending results is not clearly defined they can be missed Our project aims to define the problem of these post-discharge results and to study the implementation of an EMR-based system Hospitalist Results Manager HRM for tracking these results on the hospitalist services at Brigham and Womens Hospital BWH and Massachusetts General Hospital MGH The project consists of two phases a cross-sectional study before intervention to define the epidemiology of post-discharge results and a randomized trial of HRM to determine its effect on physician awareness of these results
