Series SummaryClimate health is an emerging and rapidly evolving field of medicine with which hospitalists need to be familiar. Clinicians are often unaware of the impacts of environmental factors on patients’ health and do not feel comfortable counseling on the subject or educating students, residents, and colleagues. They should recognize the ecological determinants of health as impacting patient care directly and indirectly and have the tools to affect healthcare sustainability practice and understand the applicability of sustainable quality improvement tools.

The goal of anesthesia is to facilitate a surgical procedure both for patient and surgeon. Not only does an anesthesia team relieve and prevent pain and anxiety due to surgical procedures, but it also expedites the conduct of procedures and optimizes surgical conditions by preventing patient movement and ensuring hemodynamic stability. While some procedures require a small amount of sedation, others require general anesthesia and/or regional anesthesia. This module discusses the basic types of surgical anesthesia as well as the indications and contraindications for each. Additionally, the most commonly used medications will be reviewed, including mechanism of action and side effects. An overview of the American Society of Anesthesiologists Physical Classification Status System is presented along with considerations that may prompt an anesthesiologist to delay or cancel a surgical procedure.

Anticoagulation therapy is associated with increased risk of bleeding, including intracranial hemorrhage (ICH) and gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding, which occurs in up to 7% per patient years with an estimated overall mortality rate of 9%.[1] Additionally, urgent surgery with increased bleeding complications in patients on oral anticoagulation appears to be common but has not been well studied. [2] In this module, we review strategies to manage potentially life-threatening ICH and GI bleeding and minimize the risk of bleeding with urgent surgery in patients on oral anticoagulation.

Prophylaxis for deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE), together referred to as venous thromboembolism (VTE), must be addressed for every patient going to the operating room. Multiple guidelines are available to assist choosing the correct prophylactic agent for each patient and type of surgery. The American College of Physicians (ACCP) guidelines have been one of the standards for hospitalist for decades but was last updated in 2012 (1) and recommendations and suggestions are based on the type of surgery. The American Society of Hematology (ASH), which put forth their first guideline in this field in 2019 (2), took a broader and slightly more universal approach to prevention strategies. The authors of this module bring forth a blended approach of these two guidelines with an emphasis on the newer guideline.

Perioperative fever has multiple possible etiologies, including infections such as pneumonia, fungal infections, central-line associated infections, and urinary infections. By understanding the typical time frame and common risk factors for each etiology, hospitalists and other perioperative consultants can develop a differential diagnosis for perioperative fever. The following module will provide a general approach for determining the differential diagnosis in patients with a perioperative fever, as well as an outline of the diagnostic and treatment modalities.

Module SummaryThis module will familiarize hospitalists with the codes and definitions of Critical Care, including what services are considered part of critical care. Participants will understand time thresholds and how they can vary depending on the payer and how to code when there are multiple providers. The module concludes with clinical case examples to provide participants an understanding about how the codes are used in practice. Release Date: March 4, 2025 Expiration Date: March 3, 2028

Module SummaryIn this module, the principles reviewed in modules 1 and 2 are put into practice. We are joined by a hospitalist who leads participants through three clinical case studies to understand how to determine the level of coding.

Module SummaryIn this module, participants will learn common definitions as they relate to E/M Codes, how to use time or Medical Decision Making (MDM) to select a code, and become familiar with prolonged care services. The module also goes into detail about the three elements of Medical Decision Making (MDM): Number and Complexity of Problems Addressed, Amount and/or Complexity of Data to be Reviewed and Analyzed, and Risk of Complications and/or Morbidity or Mortality of Patient Management.

Module SummaryIn this introduction to Evaluation and Management Principles for Hospitalists, participants will become familiar with the category of code selections for initial and subsequent services and consultations. They will understand how to code for admission and discharge when they occur on the same date and how to code for shared services. They will also become familiar with teaching physician rules as they relate to coding. Release Date: March 4, 2025 Expiration Date: March 3, 2028
