Background: More than 300,000 older adults are hospitalized in the US annually for hip fracture. While operative repair is recommended in most individuals, perioperative complications account for significant morbidity and mortality. Co-management programs for hip fracture care are effective in reducing mortality, as well as in-hospital complications, length of stay (LOS), readmission rate, and cost. […]

Background: Surgical co-management is a care model in which Hospitalists assist in the management of patients who are admitted for surgical indications. The surgical co-management model has been shown in some previous studies to improve patient care and outcomes. At our institution, formal co-management agreements have been devised to set clear teamwork expectations and focus […]

Background: Choice of agent for venous thromboembolism prophylaxis (VTEP) after joint arthroplasty is a complex decision, the difficulty of which has been compounded by divergent guidelines. Specifically, the adequacy of aspirin monotherapy (ASA) for VTEP has long been debated between the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons (AAOS) and the American College of Chest Physicians (ACCP). […]

Background: The care of surgical patients is becoming more complex as patients with increasing comorbidities require surgical procedures. In adult hospital medicine, co-management of complex medical patients by hospital medicine and surgery has been shown to decrease length of stay and readmission for many procedures. It remains unclear, however, which patients are most likely to […]

Background: Patients with increasing age and medical complexity are undergoing colorectal surgery. Medical complications are not uncommon, and may contribute to higher mortality. We implemented a unique surgical co-management (SCM) model in July 2014 at our institution where two SCM hospitalists were dedicated to Colorectal surgery year round. Each patient was screened daily by a […]

Background: Hip fractures are a major health problem in the geriatric population in the United States, with estimated costs of $18B annually. Hip fractures are highly morbid in the elderly, as deconditioning and acute complications compound chronic comorbidities. To improve care for this high-risk population, hip fracture patients are preferentially admitted to our medicine hospitalist […]

Background: A lack of standardization in care delivery can lead to variations in outcomes in the high-risk work of neurosurgery. The aim of this program was to develop, implement and evaluate the impact of three standardized interventions to improve neurosurgical patient outcomes and experiences. Methods: Hospitalists partnered with Anesthesia and Neurosurgery leaders from five large […]

SHM Converge 2024
Background: The emergence of hospitalists over the last 25 years as leaders in quality, safety, and value-based care has resulted in improvements in hospital throughput and reduction of in-hospital complications (1). The keys to success are standardizing clinical pathways and interdisciplinary collaboration. At Tampa General Hospital (TGH), our hospitalist team observed significant variability in the […]

Background: General medicine consultation (GMC) requires familiarity with consultative medicine and effective collaboration, as well as understanding distinctions between consultation and co-management.1-6 Although GMC is a requirement of internal medicine training, little guidance exists in developing curricula, and co-management may be neglected.2 A GMC curriculum exists within the Section of Hospital Medicine at University of Chicago, […]

SHM Converge 2023
Background: Co-managed care models have become increasingly popular as a result of their positive impact on patient care. This has been seen through improvement in quality metrics such as readmission, LOS, and adherence to evidence-based care pathways. Surgical hospitalist models have paved the way for new collaborative models that standardize care and optimize inter-specialty communication. […]
