T2  - Principles and Practice of Hospital Medicine
AB  - The  field  of  Hospital  Medicine  has  enjoyed  tremendous  growth  over  the  past  decade.  Although  partially  driven  by  manpower  needs  derived  from  resident  duty-hour  restrictions  and  the  declining  availability  of  primary  care  physicians  to  oversee  inpatient  care,  the  wide-spread  adoption  of  Hospital  Medicine  practice  over  the  last  ten  years  has  also  been  fueled  by  the  concomitant  growth  of  the  health  care  quality  movement.  The  compelling  need  for  improvement  in  the  quality  of  care  delivery  in  U.S.  hospitals,  heralded  in  two  seminal  Institute  of  Medicine  reports,  one  in  2000  (To  Err  is  Human)  and  the  other  in  2001  (Crossing  the  Quality  Chasm),  created  an  important  platform  upon  which  hospitalists  could  offer  potential  value  to  hospitals,  patients,  and  referring  primary  care  providers  as  a  new  field  of  inpatient  specialists  offering  both  the  clinical  and  operational  expertise  needed  to  achieve  optimal  outcomes  in  hospital-based  care.
