Hospitalists as Disruptors in Healthcare
Dr. Kisuule
We are living in disruptive times. We are amidst national and global conflict, we survived a pandemic that changed many aspects of our lives permanently, and many of our health systems are working through financial challenges with unprecedented operating and net losses. These disruptive forces require equal and opposite forces … remember high school physics and Newton’s third law? How do we reclaim this word “disruptive” as a force for good? According to the Oxford Dictionary, disruptive is, “causing radical change in an existing industry or market through being innovative.” Healthcare disruptors a...

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. By 2025, less than a year from now, the U.S. will have a shortage of 200,000 to 450,000 nurses available for direct patient care, equivalent to a gap of 10% to 20%.1 There is some dispute about the existence of an overall shortage of nurses, but what is clear is that nurses are leaving direct patient care, especially medical-surgical nurses, in droves.2,3
As hospitalists, we mig...
