Featured by blog post: Hospitalist practice will transform in the next five years
Hospitalist Leadership Connection, March 9, 2010
Spiraling health care costs, advances in bio- and information technology, and the political will to initiate substantial healthcare reform are causing the tectonic plates that make up the healthcare system to shift. As a result, waves of change are approaching our shores. Below are five of the biggest waves:
-
The cost curve must bend, and hospitalists will bend it
-
Healthcare IT will improve quality, reduce costs, and improve healthcare delivery, and hospitalists will lead its meaningful use
-

-
Hospitalists are leading the safety and quality charge
- Nocturnal tele-medicine will provide 24/7 hospitalist presence and make hospital medicine an even more attractive career
