AB  - The  increasing  fragmentation  of  health  care  has  resulted  in  more  care  transitions.  This  fragmentation  includes  by  site  (emergency  rooms,  ambulatory  clinics,  nursing  facilities,  rehabilitation)  or  physician  specialty,  which  can  be  either  organ-based  (eg,  cardiologists,  nephrologists)  or  site-specific  specialties  (eg,  emergency  medicine  physicians,  critical  care  physicians).  Hospitalists,  of  course,  are  the  newest  site-specific  specialty  to  arrive  on  the  health  care  scene.  Increasingly,  hospital  care  has  become  a  field  that  focuses  on  the  elderly,  with  over  50%  of  patients  admitted  to  hospitals  being  older  and  often  with  several  comorbidities.
