Evaluating the impact of audit and feedback using a novel text and web‐based platform with unblinded peer comparison

Journal of Hospital Medicine, EarlyView.
Abstract Hospitalists vary in their ordering practices related to labs, imaging, and discharge order times, which can lead to inefficient care, excess utilization of diagnostic tests, and prolonged length of stay. Peer comparison can be an effective way to influence physician practices. We implemented an automated, text‐based, unblinded peer comparison

Ultrasound findings associated with neonatal acute liver failure secondary to gestational alloimmune liver disease: A case series

JPGN Reports, EarlyView.
Abstract Objectives Gestational alloimmune liver disease is the leading cause of neonatal acute liver failure, hypothesized to emerge from maternal exposure to an antigen that is expressed on fetal hepatocytes, resulting in maternal‐fetal alloimmune attack and activation of the complement cascade.
