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 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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

Background: Geriatric and palliative care patients who have been discharged from hospital and are home-limited face challenges in effectively accessing ongoing healthcare and clinical follow-up after being discharged, leaving them at risk for unnecessary re-hospitalization. Health care video visits present a novel opportunity to expand patient access to clinical care remotely in their home, potentially […]

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 […]

SHM Converge 2021
Background: With the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic, the need for telemedicine is growing rapidly worldwide. The development and improvement of remote physical examination systems, especially remote cardiopulmonary auscultation are required to facilitate telemedicine. A system combining an electronic stethoscope and Bluetooth connectivity is a promising option for remote auscultation in hospitals and clinics. However, the […]
