From clinical scope evolution, to becoming leaders in hospital quality and process improvement, to “owning” pre- and/or post-hospital care, hospital medicine groups are being challenged daily by new expectations that impact their roles and what it means to be a hospitalist. Some demands will be appropriate for your group to pursue, while others won’t. HMG leaders need to be positioned to rapidly evaluate and respond to change propositions in a way that meets patient and institutional needs, while still ensuring well-designed, sustainable, satisfying work for clinicians. How you respond to these pressures while still attending to core operational issues such as recruiting, scheduling, compensation, etc., will determine the long-term success or failure of your group. This course will explore some of the ways in which HMG roles are evolving nationally, and it will equip you with tools to retain influence over how your own group evolves and to successfully lead the changes you know are coming. The course faculty represents decades of experience in clinical practice, leadership of HMGs, and consultative work with hundreds of HMGs throughout the country. These knowledgeable and entertaining speakers will explore essential topics and offer concrete, practical advice for navigating your group’s changing role. The agenda includes ample time for interaction with the faculty and fellow attendees, and each session will conclude with participants developing a brief action plan to implement upon returning to their practices.
