Managing Diabetes and Hyperglycemia in the Hospital: Critically Ill and Surgical Patients
  • 2.00 ABIM MOC Self Evaluation Points
  • 2.00 AMA PRA Category 1 Credit™
$95.00
Hospitalized patients with diabetes require specific medical management in order to minimize the risk of hyperglycemia. This requires hospitalists to have an understanding of methods for glycemic control in both the critically ill and noncritically ill patient. This module, which focuses on the critically ill hospitalized patient, is part of a 2-part series that will evaluate the current scientific evidence regarding glycemic control and discuss how to formulate preoperative and postoperative intensive care unit plans. In addition, a thorough review of the evidence for intraoperative glycemic control and a discussion of how to transition patients off of an insulin drip are provided.

Neurosurgery for the Hospitalist
  • 2.00 ABIM MOC Self Evaluation Points
  • 2.00 AMA PRA Category 1 Credit™
$95.00
Successful neurosurgery co-management requires hospitalists to be familiar with the presentations, disease processes, management, and complications of neurosurgical inpatients. The first and longest section of this module summarizes common inpatient neurosurgical conditions. The second section prepares the reader to recognize and act on neurosurgical emergencies. The remaining four sections of the module provide more detail on the medical management of neurosurgical conditions. These sections cover blood pressure management in patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage, sodium abnormalities in patients with brain tumors, the use of mannitol vs. dexamethasone, and the perioperative management of anticoagulants, in addition to other topics.
Management Of Patients With Hip Fractures
  • 2.00 ABIM MOC Self Evaluation Points
  • 2.00 AMA PRA Category 1 Credit™
$95.00
Hip fractures are a frequent cause of hospitalization in the elderly population. As the population continues to age, the incidence is expected to increase. Since many patients with hip fracture suffer from multiple medical comorbidities, hospitalists play a critical role in their care. Management of these patients requires knowledge of multiple consultative medicine topics including preoperative cardiac and pulmonary risk stratification and reduction strategies, venous thromboembolism prevention, and diagnosis and management of common postoperative complications. Open lines of communication between the hospitalist, surgeon, and anesthesiologist are essential to optimize patient care.
Newly Diagnosed Postoperative Atrial Fibrillation after Non-cardiothoracic Surgery
  • 2.00 ABIM MOC Self Evaluation Points
  • 2.00 AMA PRA Category 1 Credit™
  • 2.00 Non-physician
$95.00
Atrial fibrillation is the most common arrhythmia in the postoperative period. It is important that hospitalists understand the current management of postoperative atrial fibrillation (AF) because it is a frequent reason for consultation. Postoperative AF after noncardiac surgery has been associated with risk of thromboembolism, myocardial infarction, and mortality. The following module addresses the incidence, natural history, risk factors, prevention, clinical significance, evaluation, and management of newly diagnosed postoperative AF after non-cardiothoracic surgery.
The Hospitalist's Role in Ensuring Optimal Nutrition for Hospitalized Patients
  • 2.50 ABIM MOC Self Evaluation Points
  • 2.50 AMA PRA Category 1 Credit™
  • 2.50 Non-physician
$95.00
Ensuring optimal nutrition for the hospitalized patient is a complex issue fraught with several pitfalls for clinicians as they asses the patient’s nutritional status and determine the caloric needs and appropriate delivery method. Many factors need to be considered when creating this patient-specific plan. The following module discusses these issues and outlines the various dietary formulations (ie, oral, enteral nutrition, and parenteral nutrition). Step-by-step guidance for how to implement a nutritional plan for the different types of hospitalized patients that hospitalists encounter also is provided.
