In little more than a decade the number of general internists specializing in hospital-based medicine (ie, hospitalists) has grown to include more than 30,000. Hospitalists find themselves at the center of change in healthcare delivery and are key architects of the redesign of acute care to improve quality, safety, and cost-effectiveness.
