Note to Self: Teach Learners How to Document Effectively

Webinar (Open)

With the introduction of EHRs, it became easier to write a long note than a short one. Use of copy/forward has contributed to significant errors in documentation, increasing the chances of poor communication with other members of the health care team and with patients. It also exposes clinicians to increased vulnerability from a medicolegal standpoint and to the risk of lower reimbursement and quality measures. But haphazard use of copy/forward is not the only reason documentation is often inconsistent and devoid of clinical synthesis, and teaching residents how to write good notes requires a holistic approach.

This webinar will review the role of clinical documentation and the current challenges to note-writing. Presenters will describe how to best frame — from the resident perspective and the program perspective — the benefits of high-quality notes. Participants will review a sample progress note and critique the note from a different viewpoint — clinical reasoning, synthesis of information, billing and medicolegal concerns, and patient-centeredness — and will recommend improvements to the note.

Adaptive and Career-Focused Learning Plans with an Innovative 4+2+2 Block Schedule

Webinar (Open)

Internal medicine residents—with varied backgrounds, medical school experiences, and academic foundations—begin their post-graduate training at very different levels of development, requiring varied levels of support across ACGME milestone categories. Additionally, as subspecialty fellowship options expand and the diversity of employment opportunities increases over time, trainees begin their residencies craving more guidance and mentorship than ever before. A one-size-fits-all training model no longer seems to be sufficient in the current landscape.

The presenters have developed an innovative approach to resident scheduling, one that caters to each trainee's developmental needs and career goals so that they are better supported in their clinical growth and better prepared for the next step after residency.

The 4+2+2 block system builds upon the x+y models that are common in internal medicine programs, adding cycles of personalization to each resident's schedule. In this webinar, presenters will share their approach to take individualized learning plans to the next level, adapting to each trainee's needs as they change over the course of residency and starting career planning even before day one of internship.
