3 Hospitalists are general internists whose full time practice is to treat hospitalized patients. They are the fastest growing medical specialty in the US, They increased from 4,000 in 2000 to 50,000 in 2016 ( 1 ) They now are the largest subspecialty in internal medicine By 2016 nearly all teaching hospitals and 75% of all US hospitals had hospitalists. (1) Their prime responsibility is to be an attending physician and direct the care of inpatients. They must be experts in cost-consciousness. Their decisions determine the length of stay and costs of hospitalization of their patients. (2-5) Outcomes of Care: hospitalists vs general internists. Multiple studies have shown that patients managed by a hospitalist have shorter length of stays and lower hospital costs than management by other physicians. (1,3,6,7) The reduced length of stay, and reduced hospitalization costs are sufficient to strongly encourage community and teaching hospital directors to adopt and support the hospitalist model. It is well established that US health care is the most expensive in the world (8) One-third of US health care expenditures in 2016 were for hospital care (2). The Health care expenditures per capita vary widely in the US. Statespecific hospital spending for Medicare patients in 2004 varied from $17,135 in Idaho to $37,000 in New Jersey. (2) The difference in these charges are due to decision making by the attending physician. Some physicians order more expensive tests and procedures than others. 2
4 Medicare pays hospitals a fixed amount based on the patient s diagnosis (DRG) rather than the number of hospital days or the total hospital procedures or charges. Non Medicare payers usually pay a fixed amount per day or by a modified DRG. (9) As a result, hospital profits are greatest when the length of stay is shortest and the total hospital charges for diagnostic tests and procedures are least. Outcomes of care- quality measures Comparing quality of care is difficult. The two metrics that are used to assess quality of care are the in-hospital death rate and the rate of readmissions. To be valid comparisons of in- hospital mortality or readmission rates would require carefully matched randomized clinical trials. Such studies are not available. Peterson in 2009 reviewed 18 reports that compared care by hospitalists vs nonhospitalists (10). In 15 reports there were no differences in the 30 day death rate or the re-admission rate. In three reports mortality and readmissions were less frequent for hospitalist patients (10). The cost effective care by hospitalists does not diminish the quality of care as measured by in-hospital mortality or the re-admission rate. The Impact of the Hospitalist System on Teaching Hospitals At present most teaching hospitals employ hospitalists (1). Most are based in the department of medicine (11) A smaller number are in departments of Pediatrics ( 12) 3
5 Academic hospitalists serve as attending physicians responsible for patient care on the medical service and for the education of residents and medical students. Prior to the hospitalist system faculty physicians supervised the care of patients on the medical service as well as being responsible for resident and medical student education. The attending physician was often a subspecialist, and often a senior faculty member. They served as an attending for a month or two a year. They made rounds with the residents and students for one to two hours per day while trying to maintain their other academic and clinical obligations and research activities (13) They spend most of their time on rounds seeing the new patients or patients with interesting or complex problems. They did not determine the workup or treatment of each patient being cared for by residents. The typical hospitalist attending in teaching hospitals at present is quite different than the faculty attending of the past. The hospitalist is more likely to be a young general internist with a greater interest in patient care and teaching than research.(13). They directly supervise the work-up and care of each patient on the medical service for an average of 6 months a year. Evaluation of Teaching Hospitalists vs nonhospitalists In an early comparison of teaching by a hospitalist vs the traditional attending at the U of Chicago,86 medical residents rated the quality and value of attending rounds of hospitalists higher than for the traditional attending system (p =.02). (14) 4
6 The impact of hospitalist vs non hospitalist teachers on internal medicine rotations was evaluated by 138 third year medical students at the University of Oregon.(15) The hospitalists who attend 6 months per year were compared to non-hospitalist faculty attendings. The hospitalists received higher evaluations for all Individual attending characteristics ( P <.001). (15) Hauer et al (16) compared teaching by 17 hospitalists and 52 traditional attendings at a community teaching hospital and a tertiary care teaching hospital. The percent generalists was about the same in the two groups of attendings. The hospitalists were younger and less likely to be senior faculty.. Five hundred and ninety-nine Internal medicine residents and 318 medical students expressed greater satisfaction with hospitalists then with traditional attendings. They reported more effective teaching and more satisfying rotations with hospitalists.(16) Kulaga (4) reported the impact of hospitalists on resident education in a community teaching hospital. Ninety-seven per cent of 36 internal medicine residents reported that the presence of hospitalists improved medical education by improving formal and informal teaching as compared to supervision by community attendings. Kripalani (13) compared hospitalists with subspeciality and general medicine faculty on teaching 423 medical residents and medical students at a large teaching hospital. The twelve hospitalists were younger than 24 general medicine and 27 subspeciality attendings. The hospitalists served as attendings on the medical service for 6 months a year. The general medicine and subspeciality attendings served two months or less per year. Hospitalists and general medicine attendings were rated higher than 5
7 subspecialists. Attendings who were recent residency graduates were ranked higher than older physicians. Hospitalists were judged to have a higher level of involvement in patient care and had a greater presence on the wards than the subspecialists. Each of these 5 reports (4, 13-16) used different questionnaires to compare teaching by hospitalists and non-hospitalists; some more elaborate than others. However, in all five reports the residents and medical students concluded that the quality and value of attending rounds by hospitalists was superior to the teaching by traditional attendings. Conclusions Hospitalists will continue to have an important role in directing the care of hospitalized patients in community and teaching hospitals. Their focus will continue to be to provide cost-effective hospital care resulting in a shorter length of stay and lower hospital costs. If the glowing evaluations of hospitalists teaching medical students and medical residents noted here are confirmed it is likely that the hospitalist model will spread to other clinical departments. Hospitalist supervision of in hospital care, and their teaching of cost-effective health care to medical students and residents may lead to a new generation of US physicians who deliver quality care that is cost effective. Maybe these new physicians will lead the way to the reduction of excessive US health care costs! REFERENCES 6
