ROTATION SUMMARY GREEN TEAM & GREEN/RED NIGHT FLOAT Rotation Contacts and Scheduling Details Rotation Director: John Kerner, M.D. 750 Welch Road, Suite 116 pager: 1-3078 e-mail: jkerner@stanfordmed.org Administrator: Carmen Kimberling Carmenk@stanford.edu (6500 723-5070 Introduction The pediatric gastroenterology core rotation provides an opportunity for the resident to develop an understanding of the pathophysiology, clinical manifestations, and management of complex common and unusual disorders of the gastrointestinal tract, liver, and pancreas. Emphasis will be placed on the performance of a detailed and focused history and physical examination and the interpretation of laboratory, imaging studies, and G-I procedures (e.g., upper endoscopy, colonoscopy). Following completion of the rotation, residents will be able to initiate initial evaluation and management of these complex patients.

The GI clinic at SCVMC can accommodate one additional physician (Fellow or Resident) per session. When the Fellow is scheduled to be at VMC, residents should attend GI Urgent Clinic. Residents are responsible for asking the Fellow his/her schedule for VMC at the start of the rotation. **Attending: Dr. Dorsey Bass + 11-1 on the 2nd Wednesday of each month Rotation Specifics Orientation Residents should receive sign-out before beginning the rotation so they are well versed with the patients on the first day. Interns are expected to arrive at the hospital with enough time to pre-round on their patients before Morning Report. Your supervisors will arrive by 7am on Intern Switch Day to help orient you to the service. The Senior Resident on the Team should hold a brief session on the first day of the rotation to discuss how Rounds will be conducted and expectations for presentations, pre-rounding, notes and interaction with medical students and attendings. Rounds The Green team is comprised of the Gastroenterology and Liver service and each team typically has their own Fellow and Attending; rounds are conducted independently. The Green team is composed of an intern, supervising junior resident and physician assistant. The Senior Resident leads rounds. During the weekdays, the team is expected to walk round to see patients and discuss the plan with the family and the nursing staff. Patient distribution is as follows: The Transplant PAs primary responsibility is to the surgical services and surgical patients. If 2 PAs are on service and available they should be able to cover both the transplant surgical and medical patients up to 16 (dependent on surgical acuity). -Exceptions to above: If both PAs are required in the operating room or if the combined transplant surgical/medical service >8pts with one PA sick/PTO/conference/in OR the residents or fellows will cover the post transplant medical patients. When combined GI/pre transplant census is high (>10pts) the intern will cap at 10, the junior resident will take on 2 additional patients, and patients above that will go to PAs(pre txp) and/or fellows(GI). The PAs should be responsible for any of those patients they take on for the entire day or longer if necessary until the census decreases. They will primarily take on pre transplant patients who have completed the evaluation process and remain hospitalized or those that are readmitted post evaluation. When the team census is > 12 and the PA’s are unable to take on the remainder of patients (due to their patient load or if large volume of GI patients), the GI fellows and attendings will assist the residents in completing those Last updated 6/10 work assignments that involve large time commitments with low learning potential (ie discharge preparation and paper-work, etc). -In times of low census for the combined GI/Liver team, to maximize the learning experience the intern will have a minimum of 5 patients to include the post transplant readmits (especially if surgical census is high). Patient placement is as follows: PRE TRANSPLANT ADMISSIONS: o Please admit them to the LIVER TXP service, not GI. Please activate the Liver or Small Bowel transplant evaluation plan which will help you with the labs needed for work up. You do not need to repeat labs that have already been obtained at an outside facility EXCEPT HIV and blood type(2 are required but only 1 must be done here if already performed at outside hospital). ALL patients need echos regardless of presence of murmur unless one has been obtained at outside facility. Only obtain consults from services as needed based on patient’s PMH. The PA will serve as the liaison between the Green Team and the surgical Transplant team. They will ensure all the required tests and studies are ordered for transplant evaluation. If an incoming evaluation is known ahead of time they will initiate the order set for the Green team. POST TRANSPLANT READMISSIONS: o The PA will admit and activate the order set for any post transplant patient that arrives to the floor prior to 1600. If staffing/timing allows, the PA will perform the H&P on ER or clinic patients prior to admission, but if not, will initiate order set and the PM resident will verify meds/diet and activate the order set. Please admit under the LIVER TXP service. Activating the post txp readmit plans (liver in place, SB to follow soon) will save you time since most of the medications and standard labs are part of the plan. The Green team is not responsible for surgical patients and should defer all calls to the transplant fellow/attending if they are contacted regarding these patients when the transplant PA is not available. Clinic GI clinic is held Monday and Thursday mornings and every afternoon. Interns will be exposed to a balanced variety of outpatient management issues by the completion of the rotation. The GI Clinic operates like other traditional clinics. The resident will take the initial History and Physical then present that patient to the Attending. The Attending and resident will then see the patient together and the resident will be responsible for dictating the management plan. Residents are encouraged to keep track of the patients they see in clinic and follow-up on the outstanding laboratory results. Also, residents should “sign-out” all patients seen in Urgent Clinic to the Fellows as they will follow-up lab studies on these patients. Residents are expected to see patients with all types of diagnoses and in various stages of treatment. It is not practical nor beneficial from an educational perspective to seek out only new diagnoses. Pagers The Green Team will have a team text pager and phone to facilitate communication. Sign-out, Call Schedule & Evening Communication Expectations The PA will sign out to the dayshift junior/intern(Junior’s preference) at 1600. The PA will update the sign out in Cerner each day. This will include any major changes to the care plan, any major problems that occur during the day and any labs/studies or issues that needs to be closely followed overnight. The PA will also be available for signout or concerns from the night team. M-F AM Sign Out: If there are significant events that require extensive communication, to save time in the am the NF intern can email the covering PA (mmerrill@lpch.org, lkjelson@lpch.org). The PA will call or be available to be called before 0615 or after 0645 for verbal sign out. Weekend/Holiday Sign Out: The PA will provide a detailed sign out via email to the junior/intern on medical patients to the weekend team on Friday evening and leave updated sign-out in Cerner system. The covering interns/residents from the weekend will maintain a signout that will be emailed to the PA at the end of the weekend. Last updated 6/10 The weekend covering PA is responsible for both adult and pediatric surgical patients on the weekends and is not available to follow medical patients on the weekend. Weekend Rounds Patients will be divided into two teams for weekend call: General Pediatrics/Cards-Pulm (Blue/Yellow) and RenalRheum/GI (Red/Green). On Saturday, each team will round with two interns or residents and one supervisor. Members of the team who are post-call (varies by call schedule – it may be an intern or supervisor) leave after rounds are completed. The on-call team will always include one team member from a regular daytime weekday team. The supervisor who oversees both teams will be one of the supervisors of the daytime weekday teams (Blue, Yellow, Red, and Green) plus the Resident Reserve who regularly fills in for Continuity Clinic absences. Night Team The Night Team usually consists of two interns and a senior supervising resident. The interns often will cover night call responsibilities of the Ward team they were on in the previous block to maintain continuity. The Night Team arrives at 5 pm for interns and 6 pm for supervisors and receives sign-out from the daytime teams. As time progresses, Night Teams will know the service better. Therefore, sign-out should be relatively quick and concise— focusing on new admissions and new developments for existing patients. On the Wards and Oncology, the Night Team or Night Float will work all day on Sunday and 14-hour shifts Monday until Thursday. On Sundays, it is expected that the Night Team interns will pre-round and write notes on their patients (with the help of the Saturday on-call intern) and then round with the attendings, starting at 8:30. The Night Team should use this Sunday call to better acquaint themselves with the attendings and the patients on their teams. During their weekday calls, the Night Team is only responsible for pre-rounding on and writing notes for the new patients who they admitted during the previous night. At 7:00 each morning (Monday through Friday) supervisors from each team will meet with the Night Team supervisor to sign out new patients and important overnight events. Interns should provide written sign-out to the daytime teams and give verbal sign out to the daytime interns about new admissions and overnight events. As part of our educational curriculum, we hold Evening Report each night at 10 pm in the Housestaff Lounge. These reports, led by overnight pediatric hospitalists, will focus on acute ‘on call’ issues. The sessions will be very flexible and will include bedside teaching, practical skills, and physical exam rounds. Resident Roles and Responsibilities The PL-1 and PL-2 assigned to G-I/Liver Transplant will be responsible for the day-to-day management of all medical patients followed by either the G-I service or the Liver Transplant Service (except those followed in the PICU and except for any liver or liver/small bowel transplant patients followed by the Pediatric Liver Physician’s Assistant). Intern: Primary physician for all medical patients on the G-I or Liver Transplant Service except as stated above. Responsibilities: Write up and dictate history, physical, and treatment plan on all service admissions in consultation with the PL-2 and G-I or Liver Transplant Attending (it is unnecessary to leave the written note in the chart as long as you print out your dictation and place it in the chart prior to leaving the hospital) Write all of the orders on G-I and Liver Transplant medical patients. Arranging for all special diagnostic tests. Maintenance of charts, including daily progress notes, growth charts, and lab results on all patients. In general, progress notes should be written at the earliest after morning rounds, but preferably later in the day when results of laboratory tests, cultures, radiologic studies, etc. are available. If a significant change in the patient’s status, requiring a change in management occurs after the daily progress note is written, an addendum must be written. Keeping parents and patients apprised of progress, lab results, new developments, etc. Discharge summaries must be dictated on all patients within 48 hours of discharge. Face sheets must be completed at the time of discharge. As the primary physician, the intern is responsible for knowing each of his/her patients in detail including past medical history and relevant psychosocial history. Rounds: Last updated 6/10 Interns will be responsible for presenting their patients in detail at Work Rounds in the morning and briefly presenting a review of the status and treatment plan of the intern’s patients to the on-call residents on Evening Sign-Out Rounds. Interns will be expected to have rounded on their inpatients prior to morning work rounds so they will be able to present an up-to-date clinical summary and appropriate latest labwork. Presentation should be succinct: reviewing each patient in appropriate detail by active problems with a presentation of assessment and plan for each problem. New patient admissions will be presented formally and in detail. Additional teaching rounds will be arranged between the Attending, Fellow, and Housestaff. Outpatient Clinic: The inpatient residents are not expected to attend outpatient clinic. The intern on the outpatient portion of the rotation is expected to function according to the outpatient GI selective (see other portion of manual) Supervising Resident: Direct supervision of the PL-1 for all medical inpatients on the G-I or liver transplant service (except as stated before) An admission history and physical is to be dictated on each medical patient on the services above by a resident (If a sub-I dictates a note, a resident is required to write a complete H&P for the chart). Supervising proper maintenance of the patients’ charts on the above services. The PL-2 will lead morning Work Rounds, focusing on all active problems for each patient. The PL-2 will perform G-I consultations as requested by the G-I Attending only if the service is extremely light. PA Roles and Responsibilities In an effort to improve communication between the residents and PAs, the PA will be available to meet with the intern and junior resident at the beginning of their rotation if they have any questions. They can go over the PA role and also orient them to the established order sets for transplant evaluations/readmissions. They can be reached at any time via pager or cellphone (Melanie 799-8591; Lynn 644-7059). If at any time the night float has questions about sign out or concerns about the patients they can call the covering PA-there is someone always available unless in the OR. Primarily, the residents are not responsible for the post transplant patients Monday-Friday 0700-1600. The PA reports to the fellow or attending physician regarding these patients. For the patients on the Liver team that the PA follows, the PA will be allowed the same autonomy as that of a supervisory resident. It is understood that the supervisory residents will play a large role in caring for these children during nights, weekends, and during the day in cases of emergencies; however it is not necessary for supervisory residents to confirm physical exams or labs of these patients prior to rounds. The PA will identify themselves to the nurse taking care of the patient each morning that they are to be the primary contact for any issues. Please defer any questions from the nurses or consulting services (aside from matters that require emergent response) to the responsible PA. FACULTY PRECEPTORS John Kerner, M.D. Manuel Garcia, M.D. Dorsey Bass, M.D. Eric Sibley, M.D. Ken Cox, M.D. William Berquist, M.D. Ricardo Castillo, M.D. Missy Hurwitz, M.D. Clare Wilson, M.D. James Lue, M.D. Brandy Lu, M.D. For the inpatient service, one of the above attendings will be responsible for GI inpatients and all consults; Liver Transplant patients, Small Bowel Transplant patients, or combined Liver-Small Bowel Transplant patients will be covered by a separate attending. There will be 1-2 fellows on inpatient service, depending on the schedule (if there are 2, they will parallel the patient load of each attending). Evaluation and Feedback The methods of evaluation for the Green Team Ward Rotation will consist: Global Rating Scales –MedHub Resident Evaluations, Faculty Evaluations, Rotation Evaluations These evaluation tools will be included in each resident’s portfolio. Last updated 6/10 Resident performance (including knowledge base, diagnostic skills, and ability to formulate a plan of management) is evaluated during the inpatient experience and by a written examination modeled after the ABP certifying examination. Feedback should be provided by the supervisor to intern on a regular basis, but at least weekly. The focus of feedback will be on competency-based goals and objectives. The senior resident should request feedback from the attending on a weekly basis. At the end of the rotation an end-of-rotation feedback session will be conducted by the supervising resident and attending. Each Junior resident will give an oral presentation either on an “AAP Top Ten List” topic or a journal article of particular relevance or a relevant case presentation with discussion. Faculty evaluation of the presentation will be added to the resident’s portfolio. Each resident will keep a journal recording a running list of the diagnoses of all inpatients and outpatients seen so the faculty can help assure there is a broad exposure to Pediatric G-I cases over the course of the rotation. References Each resident will receive a folder including: 1. A CD with current articles on all aspects of pediatric G-I, liver, nutrition, and transplantation. 2. Listing of all faculty and ancillary staff, including phone and pager numbers. 3. A review article on Failure to Thrive and on Parenteral Nutrition. 4.
