co-management

Three doctors with deep HM experience weigh the pros, the cons, and the care improvement opportunities presented by medical co-management. Dr. Bradley Flansbaum, Dr. Eric Siegel, and Dr. Steven Cohn discuss co-management as a work in progress, making recommendations for constructing an approach that doesn’t boil down to passing the buck to the hospitalist.

Audio highlights from the November 2012 issue of The Hospitalist, featuring examinations of how hospitalists can prevent scope creep, how checklists improve patient outcomes, and ways HM groups can become more efficient.
