Some of our hospital medicine faculty have been working on a system-wide PI project to standardize inpatient care for cellulitis, with the goal of reducing hospital length of stay. The key intervention for this project is a new Storyboard alert in Epic to remind physicians to upload a clinical image through Haiku or Canto (HIPAA-compliant apps) of the patient’s infection every 48hrs throughout the admission.
The intervention is set to go live on Tuesday April 26th on all non-ICU, inpatient/observation units.
