Technological progress and new digital products have perennially been relied upon for improving operations. But the truth is, tech can often make bureaucracy worse. Electronic Health Records (EHRs) were hailed as a cure to the inefficiency of paper-based systems. But studies now reveal that doctors spend half of their time managing EHRs and desk work, shortchanging patients and fueling burnout. Dr. Melinda Ashton at Hawaii Pacific Health (HPH) proposed a simple and radical solution: Get Rid of Stupid Stuff (GROSS). She and HPH staff designed a simple form for reporting tasks that were poorly designed, unnecessary, or just made no sense. Simple fixes get implemented directly, more involved improvements get reviewed by the relevant groups for feasibility. With focused leadership and follow-through, GROSS has led to saving thousands of hours across the HPH system and to other health systems adopting the practice.

The Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE) has been traditionally viewed as a highly valued tool for assessing clinical competence in health professions education. However, as the OSCE typically consists of a large-scale, face-to-face assessment activity, it has been variably criticized over recent years due to the extensive resourcing and relative expense required for delivery. Importantly, due to COVID-pandemic conditions and necessary health guidelines in 2020 and 2021, logistical issues inherent with OSCE delivery were exacerbated for many institutions across the globe. As a result, alternative clinical assessment strategies were employed to gather assessment datapoints to guide decision-making regarding student progression. Now, as communities learn to “live with COVID”, health professions educators have the opportunity to consider what weight should be placed on the OSCE as a tool for clinical assessment in the peri-pandemic world. In order to elucidate this timely clinical assessment issue, this qualitative study utilized focus group discussions to explore the perceptions of 23 clinical assessment stakeholders (examiners, students, simulated patients and administrators) in relation to the future role of the traditional OSCE. Thematic analysis of the FG transcripts revealed four major themes in relation to participants' views on the future of the OSCE vis-a-vis other clinical assessments in this peri-pandemic climate. The identified themes are (a) endurin

A function embedded in Johns Hopkins Medicine’s electronic-health-record system automatically identifies patients likely to need technical assistance so either someone from central IT support or a member of the clinical support or front desk teams can reach out to them before their visit. It gives patients individual scores based on the following risk factors: whether they have an account in the health system’s online patient portal, have completed an e-check-in process in the previous seven days, and have had a video visit in the last three months.
