Building and Sustaining Co-Management Programs in Hospital Medicine: A Technical Report and Operational Guide

Designed for hospital medicine leaders who have co-management programs or are considering starting one, this program guide outlines key considerations for creating, leading, or participating in a hospitalist co-management model, drawing from a comprehensive review of research and real-world experiences. Included are checklists for creating a hospitalist co-management service, examples of a business plan, a clinical pathway, and a sample interservice agreement, and multiple real-world case examples of hospitalist co-management programs from a variety of practice environments.

SHM's Clinical Quick Talks

In light of the busy clinical services and demands on hospitalists’ schedules, it is often difficult to carve out time to prepare short lectures for residents and students. To meet this need, SHM's Education Committee created a library of quick talks designed to be succinct (given in less than 10 minutes) for use during teaching rounds, a brief sit-down session, or topic review. Access to this library is free for active SHM members, and nonmembers can subscribe (3 years for $199).

Management Of Patients With Hip Fractures

Hip fractures are a frequent cause of hospitalization in the elderly population. As the population continues to age, the incidence is expected to increase. Since many patients with hip fracture suffer from multiple medical comorbidities, hospitalists play a critical role in their care. Management of these patients requires knowledge of multiple consultative medicine topics including preoperative cardiac and pulmonary risk stratification and reduction strategies, venous thromboembolism prevention, and diagnosis and management of common postoperative complications. Open lines of communication between the hospitalist, surgeon, and anesthesiologist are essential to optimize patient care.

The Hospitalist’s Role in the Perioperative Management of Hyponatremia

Hyponatremia is the most common electrolyte abnormality that occurs in hospitalized patients, and it is recognized as a serious in-hospital complication. It is a complex electrolyte disorder that results mainly from water imbalances and dysregulation of arginine vasopressin. Hyponatremia is associated with increased morbidity and mortality among geriatric patients and patients with heart, liver, or neurologic diseases. The following educational activity discusses the pathophysiology of hyponatremia, outlines methods for differentiating the cause, and provides examples of how to manage hyponatremia in various situations commonly faced by hospitalists.

Co-Management by Hospitalists: Opportunities, Challenges, and the Role of Interservice Agreements

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, which features contributors of the SHM resource and experts from across the country and abroad, will focus on the opportunities and challenges in hospitalist co-management models and the role that interservice agreements play in defining roles, workflows, and in conflict resolution.
