Popis: | Objective: To introduce and assess the time savings from and effectiveness of assessment-oriented (AO) oral case presentation as a model of interphysician communication. Methods: This was a prospective, interventional study of all 10 on-site faculty and 36 residents in a postgraduate year 1 to 3 format emergency medicine residency training program. Residents were requested to perform all oral case presentations in either the traditional or AO formats. Presentations were timed, and residents and faculty rated essential measures of oral case presentation effectiveness: data content, expression of decision making, organization, and overall satisfaction. Results: A total of 199 oral case presentations were sampled-112 traditional and 87 AO. Mean length of presentation for traditional presentations was 117 seconds versus 71 seconds for AO presentations (p < 0.001), a clinically significant difference, without significant differences in the essential measures of case presentation effectiveness. Conclusions: AO oral case presentation may provide a means for emergency medicine residents to "get to the point" and to communicate effectively and efficiently. |
