This month in our issue, our first cover story features "10 Things Oncologists Want Hospitalists to Know." Dr. Josiah Halm, a hospitalist at the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, talks about the center's pilot program that has built a collaborative model for hospital medicine and oncology. Colleague Dr. Sahitya Gadiraju says working on the project has taught her the intricacies of guiding complex care. Our second cover story explores the evolving role of hospitalists in healthcare reform. HM guru Bob Wachter, MD, MHM, shares why he thinks accountable care organizations aren’t just a reboot of the managed care experiment. Elsewhere in this issue, hospitalist Dr. Steven Pantilat of the  University of California at San Francisco, describes how palliative care is becoming a focus area for internal medicine. Our key clinical question this month examines whether patients with an unprovoked VTE should be screened for malignancy or a hypercoagulable state, and physician editor Dr. Danielle Scheurer covers lessons learned about hospital medicine and infection control from the Ebola outbreak.

This

month's podcast features Dr. Ken Epstein, chief medical officer for Hospitalist Consultants, a division of ECI Healthcare Partners; and Dr. Ken Heinrich, regional director with ECI Healthcare Partners and chief medical officer for emergency services for the ECI Advisory Group, discussing their ongoing work helping emergency physicians and hospitalists form collaborative teams.

The focus for emergency physicians, says Dr. Heinrich,  is triage and disposition. Differing incentives for hospitalists and emergency physicians can cause stress between the groups, and dialogue is needed to defray the tension, he notes. Dr. Epstein says he thinks that collaboration can be an effective tactic against becoming a “30 day readmission rule” statistic. Shared metrics, developed in partnership, can also improve patient care, he adds.

This month in our issue, our two cover stories tackle diabetic glucose management for inpatients, and what obstetricians want hospitalists to know about treating pregnant hospital patients. Dr. Carolyn Zelop, director of perinatal ultrasound and research at Valley Hospital in Ridgewood, NJ, discusses the risk of placing pregnant women on their backs for assessment or treatment. Dr. Kristen Kulasa, an endocrinologist at the University of California San Diego, says diabetes is ever-present in hospital wards and Dr. Kendall Rogers, a hospitalist at the University of New Mexico and a lead mentor in SHM’s glycemic control quality improvement program, tells why he believes glycemic control is a team effort that requires consistent monitoring. Also in our issue, Dr. Win Whitcomb explains how he sees observation status and malpractice claims intersecting, and Dr. Hospitalist answers a question about how emergency departments evaluate whether to admit, or treat and discharge patients. Our key clinical question focuses on decolonizing MRSA in a hospitalized patient, and we review the latest in hospital medicine clinical literature.
