Case Basis

Described in this paper is a clinical anthropology therapy facilitator role developed on an acute care psychiatry ward of a teaching hospital in Hawaii serving a multiethnic population. The role was developed to provide student clinicians an opportunity to enhance their psychosociocultural evaluation and communication skills on the ward by working with a clinical anthropologist on a case-by-case basis. Discussed is the concept of therapy facilitation, role development, student-staff evaluation of the role, and the types of problems and dilemmas faced by an anthropologist assuming this role.

Carbapenem Resistant Enterobacteriaceae

We describe the results of carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE) screening as part of an outbreak investigation of New Delhi metallo-β-lactamase–producing CRE at a tertiary care university teaching hospital. The manual method for CRE screening was useful for detecting patients with asymptomatic CRE carriage but was time-consuming and costly.

Objective. To evaluate trends in surgical approach for hysterectomy following the introduction and implementation of a comprehensive robotic surgery program. Methods. A retrospective review of all hysterectomies done at two institutions, a community hospital and a suburban, tertiary-care teaching hospital, in the same health system over a five-year period, January 2010 through December 2014. A robotic surgery training program was implemented during the first year of the study and trends in route of hysterectomy were evaluated in the subsequent years. Results. A total of 5175 patients undergoing hysterectomy, for both benign and malignant indications, were included in the study. There was a significant decrease in the percent of cases performed through an abdominal approach at both the community and teaching hospitals (19.3% decline at each institution). There was an inversely related significant increase in the percent of robotic procedures at both the community and teaching hospitals (44.5% and 17%, respectively). A decrease in number of cases performed vaginally over this period was only noted in the community hospital site (25.2% decrease), and there was a slightly higher rate of vaginal hysterectomies at the teaching hospital over this study period (21.9% in 2010, 24.1% in 2014). Conclusion. The decrease in number of abdominal and laparoscopic hysterectomies and increase in number of robotic hysterectomies that was seen are consistent with national trends. The initiation of a robotic training program did not prevent the proliferation of use of the robot but did aim to ensure proficiency on the robot prior to gaining privileges for patient use. This type of comprehensive training and monitoring program could be applied to future technologic advances to ensure a standard level of surgical proficiency. Trends in route of hysterectomy are clearly multifactorial and involve patient, provider, and location-specific factors that are likely to continue to change.

Background: VitalTalk is an established training program for serious illness conversations in the US. Previously, this training course has been provided in-person in Japanese, but never virtually. Objectives: To evaluate the feasibility of a virtually administered VitalTalk workshop in Japanese. Setting/Subjects: We conducted a virtual workshop which consisted of 2 days (3 hours per day) of synchronous sessions and preceding asynchronous modules. Five VitalTalk faculty members in the US facilitated 4 workshops for 48 physicians from 33 institutions across Japan. Learners completed surveys before and after the workshop. Measurements: To evaluate the feasibility, learners were asked for their satisfaction with the workshop and the virtual format as primary outcomes and their self-assessed preparedness in serious illness communication as the secondary outcome. Each question employed a 5-point Likert scale. Results: All learners (n = 48, male 79%) participated in the survey. The mean score of the learners’ satisfaction was 4.69 or higher in all questions. The mean score of the virtual format’s satisfaction was 4.33 or higher in all questions. The mean score of self-reported preparedness on the 11 questions were between 2.30 and 3.34 before the workshop, all of which significantly increased to 3.08 through 3.96 after the workshop (p < 0.01 in all questions). Conclusion: Learners in Japan perceived the virtual format of our VitalTalk workshop as satisfactory, and their self-reported preparedness improved significantly after the workshop. VitalTalk faculty members in the US were able to provide virtual communication training to physicians in Japan.
