Abstract
CARING FOR hospitalized patients has become increasingly complex, as physicians struggle with pressure to decrease length of stay in the face of increased patient acuity and rapidly evolving diagnostic and therapeutic technologies. Meanwhile, physicians' outpatient workload has increased. The hospitalist model was proposed as an adaptation to relieve pressures on clinical practice, and it has recently proliferated widely despite few data on its implications for patients or their caregivers.
