Innovations

The Innovations category of the Society of Hospital Medicine’s (SHM’s) Research, Innovations and Clinical Vignettes (RIV) poster competition features posters that describe innovative programs in hospital medicine practice. Innovations posters are primarily descriptive, but are also permitted to include preliminary data. All Innovations posters are required to report on an activity that has already been launched or fully implemented in the healthcare setting.

A total of 114 Innovations posters were submitted this year, of which 62 were accepted and 30 chosen as finalists. Types of accepted Innovations include (but are not limited to) critical pathway development and dissemination, medical education, faculty development, handheld computers, computerized medical records, billing and collections, patient safety interventions, communications, and teamwork with other care team members.
