Hospitalist clinicians care for patients with a multitude of disorders of varying severity. Clinical decision support can help internists care for the broad and comprehensive spectrum of illnesses their patients face. This webinar will share how timely and evidenced-based hospital focused information at the point of care can help hospitalist physicians admit and care for their patients and improve care from admission to discharge.  

Hear from Dr. James Yeh, internist at Massachusetts General Hospital, who will present three cases and describe the evidence-based decision-making process for his patients. He’ll show how the admission process, inpatient management, and discharge planning can be assisted in a timely fashion by using evidence-based clinical decision support. Dr. Yeh will share examples of the admission checklist criteria for a patient with an upper gastrointestinal bleed, inpatient management considerations for a patient with pulmonary embolism (PE), and discharge planning for a patient with hypertensive crisis.  

Join us to learn how hospitalist-focused content (HFC) can improve patient outcomes, increase patient engagement and support value-based care.  

Attendees Will Learn: 

• How hospitalist-focused content can be used quickly at the point of care by hospitalist physicians to admit patients. 
• How HFC can steer hospitalists to the proper management plan. 
• How HFC can assist the hospitalist in organizing and planning proper discharge of their patients.
