4 Things Hospitalists Can Do to Reduce Nursing Turnover
Hospitalists and hospital administrators know the greatest challenge to providing safe, high-quality healthcare day in and day out in the U.S. is adequate nurse staff. Already a problem before the pandemic, the nursing shortage continues to worsen.

Worry as Important "Feelers" in Clinical Anesthesia Practice: A Mixed-Methods Study
