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

Series SummaryConsisting of four modules, SHM's Evaluation and Management Principles for Hospitalists series will familiarize the participants with hospital inpatient or observation care and critical care codes and how to document and select levels of service. Case studies will give examples of level of service and walk participants through how to select levels of medical decision making.
- Utilization Management and Clinical Documentation
$350.00
SummaryAccurate clinical documentation has never been more crucial. Hospitalists face a full spectrum of medical conditions in their careers. Regardless of a provider’s level of experience, the addition of new standards and policies, in both number and complexity, necessitate continued education. Utilization Management and Clinical Documentation for Hospitalists is an educational program on clinical documentation. It is broken into two modules. The first is a two-part didactic covering the fundamental principles of both utilization management and clinical documentation.

Acute kidney injury (AKI) is an important complication following cardiac and noncardiac surgery. Up to 18% of hospitalized patients develop AKI, and those who are critically ill have an even higher risk. Comparatively, the incidence of AKI in the perioperative period is 18-47%(1). Patients with even modest increases in their serum creatinine have increases in their mortality, morbidity, length of stay, and hospital costs. Perioperative AKI is associated with an increased risk of sepsis, anemia, coagulopathy, and mechanical ventilation. Notably, mortality is higher in patients with perioperative AKI even after complete renal recovery(1). Perioperative AKI correlates with type of surgical procedure, patient characteristics, volume status, hemodynamics, and exposure to nephrotoxins. Presurgical risk stratification and early risk mitigation is extremely important to avoid injury and need for renal replacement therapy (RRT). The following module defines perioperative AKI, identifies specific risk factors and tools for risk stratification, provides an overview of the workup of perioperative AKI, and evaluates various renal protective strategies that can be implemented during this high-risk period.

Medical consultation is an important clinical responsibility for most hospitalists. Traditionally, consultants evaluated patients at the request of the referring physician (RP) and provided an assessment and recommendations. Today, hospitalists are also asked to provide both informal “curbside” advice and more comprehensive comanagement of medical problems. Hospitalists who are effective consultants communicate skillfully and act professionally. The following module describes the different roles that hospitalists can perform as medical consultants and provides strategies for improving communication and RP satisfaction.

Pain is probably the most common presenting or associated symptom in patients in the hospital, and patients are often more concerned about being in pain than they are about the primary reason for admission. Pain is a completely subjective experience that is the consequence of the filtering, modulating, and distorting of the afferent nerve activity (i.e., nociceptive input) through the affective (i.e., limbic system) and cognitive processes unique to each individual. The following educational module discusses why postoperative pain requires treatment, outlines methods for performing a proper assessment of pain, provides strategies for utilizing patient-controlled analgesia safely and effectively, and summarizes the use of opioid and non-opioid analgesics in the postoperative setting to help hospitalists improve patients’ quality of recovery and life.
