Hospital Medicine 2018; April 8-11; Orlando, Fla.
Background: In the dawning era of precision medicine, increasingly sophisticated tools are becoming available to diagnose and investigate rare and unexplained diseases. The application of these tools to clinical practice will require new models of collaboration between clinicians, tool developers, and laboratory investigators. Many structural barriers to such collaboration exist in our current healthcare delivery […]

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 […]

Background: In 2015, medical students in their clinical clerkships (traditionally known as third year medical students) began rotating directly with hospitalist attendings. As we began crafting the rotation, we sought to provide value that was not leveraged elsewhere in their clerkships. Different organizations, including the Liaison Committee on Medical Education and Association of American Medical […]

Background: Over the last several years we have seen the rapid growth of the specialty of hospital medicine across the country. One of the unintended consequences of this expansion has been the decrease in direct teaching responsibilities of the medical subspecialists on the inpatient medical teaching services. As these responsibilities have been subsumed by our […]

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 […]

Background: Despite evidence that the use of medications for patients with opioid use disorder (OUD) leads to reduced mortality and improved engagement in outpatient addiction treatment, these life-saving medications are underutilized in the hospital setting. This study reports the outcomes of a hospitalist-led interprofessional and multidisciplinary inpatient program, known as the B-Team (buprenorphine team), to […]

SHM Converge 2021
Background: Procedural complications are a common source of adverse events in hospitalized patients(1, 2). In academic centers, bedside procedures have traditionally been performed by trainees, often without experienced proceduralist supervision, or referred to interventional radiology or consultant services, often with an associated delay in procedure performance. Many trainees report discomfort with their skill in performing […]

SHM Converge 2021
Background: In 2013, the American Academy of Pediatrics’ position statement, “Guiding Principles for Pediatric Hospital Medicine (PHM) Programs,” emphasized the importance of professional development for each PHM physician. 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 […]
