Abstract:
Family physicians should be providing care for hospitalized patients. This fulfills part of our mission and opens opportunities for us to improve patient care and metrics, advance in leadership, teach residents and medical students, and influence and do research; caring for hospitalized patients also brings value to the patients, the system, and family physicians generally. Some of the value we bring to hospital-based care includes addressing workforce shortages, continuity across care settings, cost-effective and high-value care, educational impact, enhanced career satisfaction, flexibility in career options, holistic patient care, improved health outcomes, support transitions of care, training and professional growth, and versatility and breadth of training. The question is not if we should deliver hospital-based care, but rather how we should deliver it.
