Background: Many patients continue their post-acute care in settings such as skilled nursing facilities (SNFs). One in four hospitalized Medicare patients are discharged to SNFs. These patients are generally the elderly or require more care than patients discharged home, placing them at greater risk of clinical decline and rehospitalization. Moreover, 25% of patients discharged to […]

Background: Patients experiencing unsheltered homelessness are at extreme risk for worse outcomes, including increased mortality 10 times that of the general population and an average life expectancy of 53 (over 20 yrs less than general population). Transitions of care pose unique difficulties for this vulnerable population, with numerous barriers to ongoing care and resulting readmission […]

Background: “Hospital at Home” (HaH) models of care have existed for over 20 years in the U.S. Demand for healthcare value, advances in relevant technologies, and the ongoing global pandemic have driven renewed attention to HaH models, by way of policy-based and academic pilot programs – and even commercialization attempts. Where studied, these models have […]

Background: Hospital medicine is a rapidly growing specialty, but prior studies have raised concern that hospital medicine’s research output has not kept up with its clinical importance. The ongoing evolution of hospital medicine into an academic field requires clinician-investigators with dedicated time and funding to support research contributions. National Institute of Health (NIH) Career Development […]
