Rapid Clinical Updates: High-Value Care in Practice: Appropriate Cardiac Biomarker Use for Hospitalists

Precision over overtesting: order hs‑troponin and BNP with confidence, apply the latest Universal Definition of MI, and implement ACC/AHA chest pain pathways that speed safe decisions. Screen for perioperative MINS and distinguish injury from plaque‑rupture MI and supply–demand mismatch using context, ECG, and serial deltas. Translate evidence into EMR nudges to reduce repeats and retire CK‑MB, elevating high‑value care for hospitalized patients.

Rapid Clinical Updates: Updates in Acute Stroke Management

Sudden gaze deviation, a slurred word—what’s your next move? In this October 2024 update, synthesize case-based, guideline-concordant steps to streamline thrombolysis, treat wake-up and unknown-onset strokes with imaging-driven criteria, and coordinate timely thrombectomy. Manage mechanism-specific workups and optimize secondary prevention, then apply pearls to mild-but-disabling deficits—so you elevate outcomes on your very next shift.

Rapid Clinical Updates: Great Debates in Diabetes: Updates for the Hospitalist

Rounds move fast—so should your inpatient diabetes decisions. In this rapid, case-driven update, apply a comorbidity-first paradigm from admission to discharge to reduce adverse CV events, prevent HF admissions, and slow CKD. You’ll evaluate when to hold metformin, avoid sulfonylureas if not eating, continue DPP-4s when stable, and stop SGLT2is during acute illness while using insulin as a flexible backbone, then design a "3 Cs" discharge plan that locks in follow-up and safer transitions.

Critical Care for the Hospitalist Series

Many hospitalists provide critical care services without adequate support or training, putting patients at risk and exposing hospitalists to medical liability. This educational series covers common or high-risk clinical scenarios that hospitalists encounter in and out of the intensive care unit.

Rapid Clinical Updates

Rapid Clinical Updates is designed to reach Society of Hospital Medicine members and other hospitalist clinicians with the latest information on clinical updates and treatment when and where they need it most, with actionable education that will help clinicians improve case delivery and the outcomes of hospitalized patients during hospital stay and after discharge.

Rapid Clinical Updates: Navigating the Management of Incidental/Subsegmental Pulmonary Emboli

CT just flagged a tiny subsegmental PE—treat or watch? In this case-based live Q&A with experts, you will define ISSPE, recognize key imaging features, and risk-stratify patients to decide when anticoagulation is warranted and when structured surveillance is safer. We translate major guidelines into a practical protocol and interpret emerging data and trials so you finish ready to apply bedside decisions with confidence.

Rapid Clinical Updates: Antibiotic Stewardship in Pneumonia

Why do pneumonia antibiotics so often run long? In this rapid webinar, synthesize current CAP and HAP/VAP guidance, enhance diagnostic accuracy, and optimize empiric choices with risk assessment. Then de-escalate with confidence, shorten courses safely, and understand the literature behind each step. Apply stewardship tools that sharpen decisions and improve patient outcomes.

Rapid Clinical Updates: Challenging Inpatient Scenarios in Atrial Fibrillation

As bedside alarms spike, do you have a ten‑minute plan for AF? In this rapid, case‑driven webinar you will recognize triggers, triage safely, and decide when to cardiovert vs rate control, then manage anticoagulation—balancing DOACs, PCI antithrombotics, and cardioversion timing. You’ll design high‑value discharges, reassess risk after sepsis or bleeding, and optimize outcomes for frailty and falls—and, when OAC isn’t feasible, evaluate LAAO—so you leave with faster, defensible choices.

Perioperative Geriatric Management

Picture perioperative care that treats aging as a design principle. In this fast, case-based course, apply the Age‑Friendly 4Ms to assess cognition with Mini‑Cog, perform frailty screening (Clinical Frailty Scale), and manage delirium risk with targeted bundles. Build safer regimens with Beers-guided prescribing, deprescribing, and multimodal analgesia; prevent AKI, retention, pressure injury, and decline; elicit goals with ACS NSQIP and summarize team models that reduce complications and improve outcomes.
