Redesigning Systems to Improve Quality for Hospitalized Patients
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Advanced and Integrated MicroSystems (AIMS) interventions for Interdisciplinary Communication and 3 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 4,265 participants across 4 sites.
Detailed Summary
Despite recent improvements, healthcare systems are still a long way from consistently delivering high quality care to hospitalized patients. In this study, the research team is assisting hospitals in implementing a set of complementary, mutually reinforcing interventions to redesign care for hospitalized medical patients. The investigators anticipate the interventions will improve teamwork and patient outcomes and that identifiable factors and strategies will be associated with successful implementation.

Interventions
Each of 4 sites is receiving mentorship from nurse and physician with expertise in implementing similar interventions. The AIMS interventions consist of 1) unit-based physician teams, 2) unit nurse-physician co-leadership, 3) enhanced interprofessional rounds, 4) unit-level performance reports, and 5) patient engagement activities.
