The Admission Checklist: The key steps and responsibilities for the admitting resident

Year: 2022

Type: editorial

Abstract: The process of admitting patients from the emergency department to the general medicine floor is foundational to the medical training process and medical practice more generally. Yet this process is rife with potential error if not approached systematically, and residents rarely receive explicit teaching in this area. The creation of an "Admission Checklist" proposed by the authors could serve the function of reducing error and enhancing inter-provider communication throughout this process. Such a checklist could improve trainee experience and education, and ultimately allow for improved outcomes for patients during transitions of care.
