Current Issue July 2020 Volume 104, Issue 4 Current Topic July 2020 Update in Hospital Medicine Andrew S. Dunn, Editor The bar to break even is high, and the goal is not to break even. Hospital medicine has been the fastest growing field in medicine due to multiple factors; none of which are a proven net benefit over the traditional model when the posthospitalization period is considered. A traditional model, which can also be called “historic” in recognition of its current impracticality and rarity, here refers to a primary care physician (PCP) who sees a patient longitudinally over years, provides care as the attending of record while the patient is hospitalized, and seamlessly resumes outpatient care promptly after discharge. It’s hard to argue with the intuitive benefits of the approach. Articles in Press Recent Issues Past Issues Most Read Currently, there are no articles still in press.
