“…A consensus conference in 2009 identified the challenges faced by hospitalists in conducting research as a key obstacle in the evolution of the profession into an academic field . Strategies for building and facilitating hospitalist research programs have been described . However, a survey of US academic hospitalist leaders found more than 40% feared their faculty was “not developing sustainable nonclinical activities.”…”

BACKGROUND Research by hospitalists may aid the evolution of hospital medicine into an academic specialty. OBJECTIVE To describe the factors associated with research and publication activities among hospitalists and describe trends in hospitalist‐led publications. METHODS We surveyed members of the Society of Hospital Medicine in June 2012 and conducted univariate analyses on their responses to determine predictors of successful authorship and to describe factors associated with research engagement. We searched PubMed from the database inception to October 2013 for publications with “hospitalist” or “hospital medicine” affiliated authors. Original research articles were reviewed for methodology and funding sources. RESULTS Of the 645 respondents (5.8% response rate), 277 (43%) had authored peer‐reviewed publications, 126 (19%) had access to mentorship, and 68 (11%) reported funding support. There were 213 (33%) who were engaged in research, with the majority conducting quality improvement (QI) research (n = 152, 24%). Completion of a fellowship, pediatrics training, the presence of a mentor, funding, and >25% protected time for research were each individually associated with an increased likelihood of authoring publications. Hospitalist‐led publications in PubMed have been increasing from 36 in 2006 to 179 in the first 10 months of 2013. Of the original research publications (n = 317), the majority were clinical (n = 129, 41%), and 58 (18%) were QI. Thirty‐nine (22%) authors reported funding support. CONCLUSIONS Peer‐reviewed publications by hospitalists are increasing, suggesting the academic maturation of hospital medicine. Provision of mentorship for hospitalists specifically in QI and guidance toward funding resources may assist in supporting this trend.

“…1 The field has been increasingly recognized for its contributions to high-quality patient care, patient safety, systems improvement, medical education, and research. [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9] However, there appears to be significant variation among programs, even in basic factors such as how clinical effort is defined, the extent of in-house coverage provided, and the scope of clinical services provided, and there exists a paucity of data describing these variations. 8 Most previously published work did not specifically focus on academic programs, 2,3,8,9 and specifically targeted hospital leadership, 2 practicing hospitalists, 3 residents, 7 and pediatric residency or clerkship directors, 4,7 rather than hospitalist directors.…”

BACKGROUND Many pediatric academic centers have hospital medicine programs. Anecdotal data suggest that variability exists in program structure. OBJECTIVE To provide a description of the organizational, administrative, and financial structures of academic pediatric hospital medicine (PHM). METHODS This online survey focused on the organizational, administrative, and financial aspects of academic PHM programs, which were defined as hospitalist programs at US institutions associated with accredited pediatric residency program (n = 246) and identified using the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) Fellowship and Residency Electronic Interactive Database. PHM directors and/or residency directors were targeted by both mail and the American Academy of Pediatrics Section on Hospital Medicine LISTSERV. RESULTS The overall response rate was 48.8% (120/246). 81.7% (98/120) of hospitals reported having an academic PHM program, and 9.1% (2/22) of hospitals without a program reported plans to start a program in the next 3 years. Over a quarter of programs provide coverage at multiple sites. Variability was identified in many program factors, including hospitalist workload and in‐house coverage provided. Respondents reported planning increased in‐house hospitalist coverage coinciding with the 2011 ACGME work‐hour restrictions. Few programs reported having revenues greater than expenses (26% single site, 4% multiple site). CONCLUSIONS PHM programs exist in the majority of academic centers, and there appears to be variability in many program factors. This study provides the most comprehensive data on academic PHM programs and can be used for benchmarking as well as program development.
