    "DescriptionSummary": "Subdural hematoma (SDH) is a condition, increasing in incidence because of the aging of the population, resulting in nearly 60,000 hospitalizations annually. Currently, there are no uniform clinical guidelines for the ED management and decisions for transfer to a higher level of care for SDH. Dr. Pruitt has successfully developed a decision tool, the SafeSDH Prediction Tool, which he derived and validated at a single, academic, Level I trauma center, to identify patients with SDH at low risk of clinical decline or neurosurgical intervention. However, this tool requires external validation before widespread dissemination and implementation. ",

Aim one is to assess attending physicians on procedural skill using a previously published checklist, and determine the reliability of the checklist.  Aim two is to compare the checklist score of attending physicians in different practice environments. Aim three is to evaluate feasibility of this format of evaluation as part of the yearly OPPE process at the respective institutions.  These descriptions of a central line checklist would allow an objective measure that could be incorporated into current ongoing professional practice evaluations with future potential for inclusion in initial certification examinations.",
