PY - 2017 T2 - Principles and Practice of Hospital Medicine, 2e AB - In-hospital care has suffered as a result of the increased fragmentation in the delivery of care, specifically secondary to new clinical models such as the rise of hospitalist care in the United States, and the move toward cutting hours for residency trainees in teaching hospitals. This fragmentation has resulted in a greater need for care coordination and a focus on transitions, particularly for the hospitalized elderly population. For example, for a typical patient, a member of the patient’s primary team is present in the hospital only 50% of the time. Hospitalized patients are passed between doctors an average of 15 times during a single 5-day hospitalization.
