ABSTRACTThe acquisition of competence in diagnostic reasoning is essential for medical trainees. Exposure to a variety of patient presentations helps develop the skills of diagnostic reasoning, but reliance on ad hoc clinical encounters is inefficient and does not guarantee timely exposure for all trainees. We present a novel teaching series led by emergency physicians that builds upon the existing medical education literature to teach diagnostic reasoning to preclinical (2nd year) medical students. The series used emergency department simulations involving patient actors and simulated vital signs to provide students with exposure to three acute care presentations: chest pain, abdominal pain, and headache. Emergency physicians coached and provided immediate feedback to the students as they actively worked through diagnostic reasoning. The participating medical students reported benefit from these sessions immediately following the sessions and in an 18-month follow-up survey where the students could consider the impact of the sessions on their clinical clerkship. Students felt that the sessions had assisted them in recognizing the key features of relevant diagnoses during clerkship as well as providing a helpful adjunct to their in-class learning.

Introduction: Geriatric-orthopaedic co-management models can improve patient outcomes. However, prior reports have been at large academic centers with “closed” systems and an inpatient geriatric service. Here we describe a Geriatric Fracture Program (GFP) in a mixed practice “pluralistic” environment that includes employed academic faculty, private practice physicians, and multiple private hospitalist groups. We hypothesized GFP enrollment would reduce length of stay (LOS), time to surgery (TTS), and total hospital costs compared to non-GFP patients. Materials and Methods: A multidisciplinary team was created around a geriatric Nurse Practitioner (NP) and consulting geriatrician. Standardized geriatric focused training programs and electronic tools were developed based on best practice guidelines. Fracture patients >65 years old were prospectively enrolled from July 2018 – June 2019. A trained biostatistician performed all statistical analyses. A p < 0.05 was considered significant. Results: 564 operative and nonoperative fractures in patients over 65 were prospectively followed with 153 (27%) enrolled in the GFP and 411 (73%) admitted to other hospitalists or their primary care provider (non-GFP). Patients enrolled in the GFP had a significantly shorter median LOS of 4 days, compared to 5 days in non-GFP patients (P < 0.001). There was a strong trend towards a shorter median TTS in the GFP group (21.5 hours v 25 hours, p = 0.066). Mean total costs were significantly lower in the GFP group ($25,323 v $29085, p = 0.022) Discussion: Our data shows that a geriatric-orthopaedic co-management model can be successfully implemented without an inpatient geriatric service, utilizing the pre-existing resources in a complex environment. The program can be expanded to include additional groups to improve care for entire geriatric fracture population with significant anticipated cost savings. Conclusions: With close multidisciplinary team work, a successful geriatric-orthopaedic comanagement model for geriatric fractures can be implemented in even a mixed practice environment without an inpatient geriatrics service.
