Society of Hospital Medicine
Résumé
The Society of Hospital Medicine (SHM) is a membership society for hospitalists, physicians, and other caregivers who practice the specialty of hospital medicine.
SHM provides continuing education and industry updates for hospitalists in its monthly newsmagazine, The Hospitalist, and peer-reviewed journal for hospital medicine, the Journal of Hospital Medicine. In addition to its publications, the society conducts surveys, prepares written analyses, and offers discussion forums that aid in the overall development and practice of the specialty of hospital medicine.
The society is focused on providing resources, programs, and mentoring for quality improvement programs for reducing readmissions and hospital acquired diseases while optimizing transitions of care, glycemic control, and overall patient care. SHM has been integral in development of policy and position statements to address the concerns and issues of hospitalists and advocates on behalf of hospitalists before government and regulatory agencies.
Founded in 1997 by Internists John Nelson, MD, MHM, of Bellevue, Washington and Winthrop Whitcomb, MD, MHM, of Springfield, Massachusetts, the Society of Hospital Medicine was originally known as the National Association of Inpatient Physicians. The society's goals include promoting high-quality care for hospitalized patients; advancing education and research in hospital medicine; enhancing medical teamwork to achieve the best care for hospitalized patients; supporting career paths to attract and retain high quality hospitalists; defining competencies, activities and needs of hospitalists; and advocating, proposing, and promoting changes to the healthcare system that lead to better care by hospitalists.
