Description
Comprehensive Hospital Medicine: An Evidence-Based and Systems Approach is the first clinical reference to address this specialty in a comprehensive, practical manner. Nationally recognized experts equip you with actionable information on key areas in hospital-based medicine-evidence-based practice, clinical care delivery, peri-operative care and managing hospital and program systems issues-making it easier than ever for you to provide optimal care to every hospitalized patient.
Access to the entire contents of this Expert Consult title online permits speedy consultation from any computer with an Internet connection.
The Premium Edition includes regular online updates reflecting the latest clinical developments ... all of the artwork from the text, downloadable for use in PowerPoint? presentations ... evidence-based admitting orders for over 100 conditions ... and the ability to load all of the admitting orders from the web site onto your handheld device.
State-of-the-art, evidence-based, hospital-focused guidelines on clinical assessment, diagnosis, prognosis, treatment, and discharge/follow-up planning help you to effectively manage all of the key disorders in every body system.
20 chapters focused on peri-operative care assist you in navigating this increasingly important component of hospital medicine practice.
Expert advice on systems issues explores how to establish and enhance a hospitalist program, provide leadership, manage patient transitions of care, establish a teamwork model with hospital staff, promote patient safety and staff performance improvement, standardize care, and navigate legal and ethical concerns.
