“…Diese konnten ebenfalls das regelmäßige Fehlen von relevanten Informationen in den Entlassdokumenten nachweisen und empfehlen Richtlinien zur Implementierung dieser Daten [27,28]. Da diese Dokumente derzeit häufig von Ärzt:innen in jungen Stadien ihrer Ausbildung verfasst werden, sollte bei der Verbesserung auch curricularen Faktoren während der universitären Ausbildung eine entscheidende Bedeutung zukommen [29]. Ebenfalls hat sich eine strukturierte Vorlage beim Verfassen von Entlassbriefen als vorteilhaft für die nachbehandelnden Ärzt:innen erweisen können [30].…”

Zusammenfassung Ziel der Studie Die Entwicklung und Testung von Qualitätskriterien im Entlassprozess von durch den Palliativdienst mitbetreuten Patient:innen im Krankenhaus. Methodik Die Exploration der Bedeutung von Qualitätskriterien im Entlassmanagement wurde durch Expert:inneninterviews überprüft, relevante Kriterien abgeleitet, ein Fragebogen zur Qualitätsbeurteilung aus Sicht der Nachversorgenden entwickelt und dessen Ergebnisse mit einer internen Prozessbewertung verglichen. Ergebnisse Es wurden vier Qualitätskriterien definiert: (I) palliativmedizinische Informationsweitergabe, (II) Entlassbrief, (III) Information von Patient:innen und Zugehörigen und (IV) lückenlose Versorgung mit Arznei-, Heil- und Hilfsmitteln. Die interne Auswertung der Kriterien im klinischen Alltag zeigte, dass diese Informationen jedoch häufig in den Entlassdokumenten fehlten. Schlussfolgerung Es konnten Qualitätsdefizite im Entlassmanagement von Patient:innen in palliativer Mitbetreuung aufgezeigt werden. Die Studie konkretisiert relevante Informationen und macht deutlich, dass diese in den Patient:innenakten größtenteils vollständig auffindbar wären. Es muss daher ein Verständnis für die Wichtigkeit dieser Informationen geschaffen werden, z.B. durch eine strukturierte und automatisierte Weitergabe.

An intercalated degree offers medical students an avenue to explore their interests and become competent in scientific literacy. Although intercalating can pose a financial burden and time commitment, they do provide competitive academic and speciality training applications. The aim of this review was to explore academic development and subsequent outcomes of career progression. Medline and EMBASE were systematically searched using keywords. After the removal of duplicates, the studies were screened against the inclusion criteria. For the five studies included in this review, a narrative synthesis was performed. The two main themes were academic development and career progression. All studies showed a plethora of academic achievements during and after intercalation. Two studies showed that students are more likely to enter a career in academic medicine. A further two studies have shown that the transferable skills of academia have allowed alumni to make more competitive applications for foundation year and speciality training. The results have shown a correlation between academic achievements and an increase in competitiveness in foundation programmes and speciality applications. There are clear discrepancies in the success of academic careers depending on the institution and type of intercalated degree. Current literature suggests a master’s degree results in more academic success compared to a bachelor’s degree. Due to the sheer diversity of intercalated degrees offered to medical students in the UK, there is limited literature on post-graduate career progression. More research should be undertaken to look at the implications of intercalation on post-graduate career progression.

An evaluation of the effectiveness of induction programmes on foundation doctor preparedness: a rapid review of the literature

There is an increase in mortality when medical graduates replace the previous cohort of foundation doctors. As of 2012, it is now mandatory for new doctors in the UK to participate in induction training in order to ease this transition and reduce the negative impact on patient outcomes. However, there is no guidance on how best to deliver these induction programmes. This review aims to evaluate the effectiveness of several induction programmes to provide insight on this. Medline and Scopus were searched for relevant literature using keywords. Duplicates were removed and inclusion criteria were created to screen the remaining literature. Five studies were included in this review and they were all quality appraised using the Medical Education Research Study Quality Instrument. Different hospital trusts utilised varying induction programmes. The most common method of assessing their effectiveness involved exploring preparedness in junior doctors post-induction through surveys. Patient outcome, anxiety levels and knowledge were also measured. Induction programmes play a vital role in preparing new foundation doctors for practice and thus improving patient outcomes. Although there may be trust-specific variation, some elements of the programme should be standardised to ensure basic requirements are met universally. New doctors should be assessed on aspects of the programme after completion to increase confidence and knowledge. Organisational considerations such as costs and staff availability need to be taken into account. The quality of future research papers could be improved through inclusion of baseline data, control groups, multi-centred studies and outcomes higher on Kirkpatrick’s hierarchy.
