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

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.
