Co-Management by Hospitalists: Building Collaborative Relationships, Hiring, Onboarding, and Financial Aspects

Hospitalists are increasingly involved in the care of patients from surgical and medical subspecialities. To provide guidance in creating, leading, or participating in a co-management model, SHM recently released the Building and Sustaining Co-Management Programs in Hospital Medicine: A Technical Report and Operational Guide. This webinar features contributors of the SHM resource and surgical and medical subspecialty co-management hospitalist experts from across the country. This webinar will focus on building collaborative relationships in co-management, hiring and onboarding hospitalists for co-management, and financial aspects of co-management models.

How to Write Business Plans that Convince the C-Suite

To adequately confront the challenges facing them in the modern healthcare system, physicians need to blend management and business knowledge with their clinical knowledge and expertise in patient care. Business decisions are often made by non-physicians. In order to develop compelling business plans for that audience, physicians need to speak the business language of administrators and present plans from a business point of view. Ideas and projects that are only presented from the physician point of view may be passed over and not be approved by the C-suite. It’s key to incorporate basic business language, detailed presentation, and in-depth analysis. In many cases a reformatting, reworking, and subsequent presentation of proposals can lead to acceptance of the projects. The goal of this session is to introduce the listener to the business side of medicine, explain some important business concepts and go through a business plan generation including different parts and financial analysis.

How to be a Hospitalist Opioid Use Disorder Champion: Improving the Quality of Care for Patients

The hospitalist role in providing effective care for patients with opioid use disorder (OUD) has never been more important. In this webinar, part one of two on the topic, members of the SHM SUD Special Interest Group will discuss the current state of addiction medicine and the roles that hospitalists can take within their practice to overcome barriers and improve the quality of care for their patients with opioid use disorder. Topics will include how to screen patients, building protocols and pathways for treatment, QI projects, orders for discharge, and linkage to care. Additionally, speakers will discuss how to acquire data on the issue and how to start building capacity within the hospitalist team.

An Integrated Approach to Workplace Violence in Hospitals

Join us for a discussion to hear about one groups emerging model for reducing, managing, and responding to violence against healthcare workers. During the session, we will discuss how to measure the problem, encourage clinicians to report incidents, couple workplace safety efforts to existing patient safety programs, and use a three-part approach to reduce, mitigate, and respond to violence in the hospital setting.

Climate Change for the Pediatric Hospitalist: Impacts on Child Health & Equity

In this activity, we will explore the ways in which climate change impacts the health, well-being, and health equity of children and adolescents. Part of that exploration will analyze how unique pediatric physiology can increase a child's vulnerability to the direct and indirect environmental effects of climate change. Throughout the session, real-world examples will highlight how climate change exacerbates health inequities and environmental injustices by disproportionately impacting vulnerable and marginalized communities.

Reducing Unnecessary Telemetry Monitoring: An SHM Choosing Wisely Quality Improvement Implementation Module

Mounting evidence shows that the American healthcare system costs too much for the results it achieves in terms of patient outcomes and access. Many different parts of this system need attention, and it can be difficult to know where to begin. However, the inpatient / hospital environment is a “high intensity” healthcare delivery setting, and the “Choosing Wisely” initiative of the American Board of Internal Medicine Foundation (ABIMF) offers a list of low value healthcare practices which make great targets for improvement efforts. In this activity, we will tackle one of the top five practices chosen for Choosing Wisely by the Society of Hospital Medicine: continuous telemetry monitoring.This activity will review the guideline recommendations and the literature supporting the harms, benefits, and proper utilization of telemetry monitoring.

Sustainable Quality Improvement

This activity addresses how environmental sustainability interfaces with high value care by looking at the high value equation wherein outcomes and patient experience are measured in the context of financial costs to the system and the patients. This activity further attempts to help clinicians feel more connected to the environmental impact of their work.

Extreme Heat

This presentation addresses the health impacts of extreme heat, with a focus on increased mortality with heat and the disproportionate effects on environmental justice communities such as those living in urban heat islands and vulnerable groups such as the elderly, those with comorbidities, outdoor workers, and pregnant women.

Physicians will gain insights on managing medications during heat waves to reduce risks, as well as strategies for treatment and prevention in heat-related conditions. By understanding these factors, providers can play a critical role in reducing heat-related mortality and morbidity in at-risk populations.
