Cindy Lai and colleagues discussed how grading is a skill that requires repeated practice and feedback.
Sachin Shah and colleagues examined just how much home supports influences use of SNF care following hospitalization.
Kara Bischoff and colleagues published an article in JAMA that reported data from the Palliative Care Quality Network about the care planning activities performed by inpatient palliative care teams and the outcomes of that work based on data from over 73,000 consultations.
Jennifer Feld
“I’m incredibly grateful to Jennifer for her conscientious, thoughtful, and wholehearted ownership of our DHM Chief search committee process. In addition to managing the process gracefully, she also represented the face of DHM to our external candidates who uniformly remarked about how wonderful she was in her responsiveness, personal touch, and in making them feel well cared for during their experience. Of course, all of Jennifer’s incredible attributes pale in comparison to her longstanding passion as a Cubs fan, an easy passion to get behind for some of us.”
-Niraj Sehgal
Jesse Abelson and Archna Eniasivam
"Thank you to Jesse Abelson and Archna Eniasivam for enthusiastically joining our TAPS faculty, teaching our R1s, and putting in some long hours--we all really appreciate you both!”
- Andy Lai on behalf of the TAPS service
The Division wishes all our incredible faculty and staff a wonderful holiday season and a happy, health New Year!
