July Issue of AHRQ Web M&M Discusses Approaches to Improve Clinical Competence in Medical Trainees
The July issue of AHRQ Web M&M features a Spotlight Case involving a second-year resident and intern who performed a diagnostic and therapeutic fluid removal on a 67-year-old patient without supervision. The resident had performed this procedure several times in the past, and did not seek the supervision of the night hospitalist, who was available to supervise procedures overnight. Shortly after the procedure, the patient had significant internal bleeding, which was resolved by emergency surgery and a long hospital stay. A commentary on the case is provided by Jeffrey H. Barsuk, M.D., associate professor of medicine at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine, Chicago. The Perspectives on Safety section features an interview with David Blumenthal, M.D., chief information officer and innovation officer at Partners HealthCare System, Boston, and the former National Coordinator for Health Information Technology. Physicians and nurses can receive free CME, CEU, or training certification by taking the Spotlight Quiz. Select to access AHRQ’s Web M&M site.
