    Author: Chadaga SR, Maher MP, Maller N, Mancini D, Mascolo M, Sharma S, Anderson ML, Chu ES.
    Journal: J Hosp Med; 2012 Oct; 7(8):649-54. PubMed ID: 22791678.
    Abstract:
    Hospitalists are uniquely positioned to implement strategies to improve patient flow and efficiency. Hospital leaders have stated they expect hospitalists to comanage surgical patients, participate in observation units, and screen medical admissions, in addition to providing inpatient care for medical patients. We review how the hospitalists' role in acute inpatient care, surgical comanagement, short stay units, chest pain units, and active bed management has improved throughput and patient flow.
