Session Documentation - Grand Rounds

Gap: State which gap from the RSS planning document will be addressed, or design an event-specific topical gap:

Gap 1 General Topic:
Inclusive coordinated, efficient and effective patient care. Patients experience complications in the hospital which may have been avoidable. Physicians fail to recognize the potential problems that exist and how to avoid them. This lack is particularly evident in the care of hospitalized patients admitted for intensive care, complex medical disease and/or surgical post-operative complications.

Gap 2 General Topic:
Costs of diagnosis and treatment need to be considered in the management of patients. Promoting appropriate use criteria and enhancing coordinated care of the hospitalized patients among specialties could result in more effective care.

Gap 3 General Topic:
Clinical guidelines and the most up-to-date evidence are not always considered when caring for patients.

GAP 4: Other

Identify 1-3 specific steps to be experienced by participants designed to address the needs and close the gap. These statements will describe the learner actions required to achieve the educational needs - the outcomes. Begin each statement with a measurable, action-oriented verb.

Please develop 2-3 Yes/No questions that can assess the participants' achievement of the event's educational objectives. They will be distributed 2- 3- months post-event. Enter each question on a separate line.
