Background: Hospitalization is costly, associated with the potential for adverse medical events and may have deleterious health effects. Hospitalist physicians are uniquely positioned to help patients avoid unnecessary hospitalizations. Our attending-only hospitalist practice in a tertiary academic center admits approximately 350 patients monthly, the majority of which are referred through the emergency department (ED). Our […]

SHM Converge 2024
Background: Hospital medicine (HM) is a well-established clinical specialty within Internal Medicine, yet its research footprint has lagged its clinical impact. Clarity of top HM research priorities may identify target areas for investment in HM research infrastructure and define areas of hospital medicine expertise. Methods: The Society of Hospital Medicine’s (SHM) Research Committee formed a […]

SHM Converge 2022
Background: The availability of beds within healthcare systems has been stressed during each wave of the COVID-19 pandemic. Healthcare systems with tertiary hospitals have had increasing patient volumes and face limitations of specialized urgent (e.g., ECMO) and routine (e.g., Percutaneous Coronary Intervention) functions during critical inpatient surge volumes. Reserving the limited capacity at a tertiary […]

However, little is published about PHM physicians’ perspectives on professional development. The objectives of this study were to explore pediatric hospitalists’ perceptions of professional development needs, desired […]

SHM Converge 2021
Background: Despite a rapid increase in academic hospitalists, faculty development in academic hospital medicine remains an ongoing challenge. We aim to describe scholarly output and demographics in relation to academic rank distribution and to identify factors associated with academic promotion of a national sample of academic hospital medicine programs. Methods: We extracted demographic and academic […]

Hospital Medicine 2019, March 24-27, National Harbor, Md.
Background: Point-of-Care Ultrasound (POCUS) is becoming an increasingly valuable tool in Internal Medicine. With the proper training, POCUS can provide insight into diagnostic dilemmas, resulting in expedited management and enhancing patient care. However, the ability to effectively utilize POCUS is directly related to the extent of each individual’s training. It is therefore critical to implement […]

Hospital Medicine 2020, Virtual Competition
Background: ED visits increased to 145.59 million in 2016 (CDC 2019), resulting in an increase in hospital admissions. Chen et al. showed a correlation between the overall ED census and likelihood of admission; while, Velasquez et al. found up to 28% of hospitalists reported having admitted patients when no admission criteria were met. They described […]

Hospital Medicine 2018; April 8-11; Orlando, Fla.
Background: Many end stage renal disease (ESRD) patients present with complaints related to missed or incomplete hemodialysis (HD). Inpatient HD units often are not credentialed for outpatient use which results in extra cost and consumes additional resources for a standard outpatient procedure. Delays in patient throughput in emergency departments (ED) can cause boarding in the […]
