It is unclear why systematic training in end-of-residency clinic handoffs is not universal.
We assessed Internal Medicine-Pediatrics (Med-Peds) residency program directors' attitudes regarding end-of-residency clinic handoff systems and perceived barriers to their implementation.
We surveyed all Med-Peds program directors in the United States about end-of-residency outpatient handoff systems.
Program directors rated systems as important (81.5%), but only 31 programs (46.3%) utilized them. Nearly all programs with (29/31 [93.5%]), and most programs without systems (24/33 [72.7%]) rated them as important. Programs were more likely to have a system if the program director rated it important (p = .049), and less likely if they cited a lack of faculty interest (p = .023) or difficulty identifying residents as primary providers (p = .04).
Most program directors believe it important to formally hand off outpatients. Barriers to establishing handoff systems can be overcome with modest curricular and cultural changes.
目前尚不清楚为何住院医师规范化培训结业时的临床交接培训并非普及。
我们评估了内科-儿科(Med-Peds)住院医师规范化培训项目主任对结业时临床交接系统的态度,以及对实施该系统的感知障碍。
我们对美国所有的 Med-Peds 项目主任进行了关于住院医师规范化培训结业时门诊交接系统的调查。
项目主任对系统的评价为重要(81.5%),但只有 31 个项目(46.3%)使用了系统。几乎所有有系统的项目(29/31 [93.5%])和大多数没有系统的项目(24/33 [72.7%])都认为该系统很重要。如果项目主任认为该系统很重要,那么该项目更有可能拥有该系统(p =.049),而如果他们认为缺乏教员兴趣(p =.023)或难以确定住院医师为主要提供者(p =.04),那么该项目就不太可能拥有该系统。
大多数项目主任认为正式交接门诊患者非常重要。通过适度的课程和文化改变,可以克服建立交接系统的障碍。
