Abstracts

Each year at SHM’s annual meeting an RIV competition is held, this consists of Research, Hospital Innovations and Clinical Vignettes Abstracts. In order to provide SHM members with an added benefit we have made these abstracts available from past meetings. 

Clinical Vignettes

A clinical vignette is a report of one or more cases that illustrate a new disease entity or a prominent or unusual clinical feature of an established disease, highlights an area of clinical controversy in Hospital Medicine, or illustrates a unique hospital error. It may include a summary of pertinent patient history, physical findings, laboratory data, or management description.

Hospital Innovations

Innovations will primarily be descriptive, but they may also include preliminary data. An innovation may describe a novel strategy for disseminating practice guidelines. Submissions must report on an activity that has already been piloted or fully implemented in the health care setting.

Research Abstracts

Submissions can report clinical-and/or laboratory-based research or consist of a systematic review of a clinical problem. Research abstracts concerned with efficiency, cost, or method of health care delivery, quality of care, and medical decision-making are also encouraged.
