The definitive guide to the knowledge and skills necessary to practice Hospital Medicine Presented in full color and enhanced by more than 700 illustrations, this authoritative text provides a background in all the important clinical, organizational, and administrative areas now required for the practice of hospital medicine. The goal of the book is provide trainees, junior and senior clinicians, and other professionals with a comprehensive resource that they can use to improve care processes and performance in the hospitals that serve their communities. Each chapter opens with boxed Key Clinical Questions that are addressed in the text and hundreds of tables encapsulate important information. Case studies demonstrate how to apply the concepts covered in the text directly to the hospitalized patient. Principles and Practice of Hospital Medicine is divided into six parts: Systems of Care: Introduces key issues in Hospital Medicine, patient safety, quality improvement, leadership and practice management, professionalism and medical ethics, medical legal issues and risk management, teaching and development. Medical Consultation and Co-Management: Reviews core tenets of medical consultation, preoperative assessment and management of post-operative medical problems. Clinical Problem-Solving in Hospital Medicine: Introduces principles of evidence-based medicine, quality of evidence, interpretation of diagnostic tests, systemic reviews and meta-analysis, and knowledge translations to clinical practice. Approach to the Patient at the Bedside: Details the diagnosis, testing, and initial management of common complaints that may either precipitate admission or arise during hospitalization. Hospitalist Skills: Covers the interpretation of common “low tech” tests that are routinely accessible on admission, how to optimize the use of radiology services, and the standardization of the execution of procedures routinely performed by some hospitalists. Clinical Conditions: Reflects the expanding scope of Hospital Medicine by including sections of Emergency Medicine, Critical Care, Geriatrics, Neurology, Palliative Care, Pregnancy, Psychiatry and Addiction, and Wartime Medicine.

Kindle version. Love it! Have a copy on my smart phone which I can access on the floors. Go back to my office and read it on my laptop. Then read it on my kindle when I'm at home. My colleagues have the Hardcover book, it's massive. I'm a completionist so starting at chapter 1 I've read half the book so far. There is no way I would have read this much lugging around 2310 pages.As for the content: very practical and chock full of pearls. There are two books I truly wish I read as a resident, one is Marriot's EKG book and this is the other one. Having a Hospital Medicine focused section on Dermatology, for instance, is way better than combing the bowels of Emedicine, Google, Uptodate, and various Derm atlases to try and figure out how your patient's rash fits into the whole clinical picture.
Bought the Kindle version and love it for the most part. It's full of in-depth and up-to-date information to guide patient management from the perspective of a hospitalist. Extremely useful coverage of hospital medicine core competencies.My only issue is that much of the information in the tabular format doesn't translate well into the Kindle - at least not the version I have. The writing is either too small to read or one table has been dissected oddly into a few parts which often defeats the purpose of being able to review information in a table.It's great to be portable but wish I had the hard copy of the textbook, too.
I work as an Hospitalist and I was craving(not an exaggeration)for a good book which could address important issues in core clinical conditions routinely seen by a hospitalist. I havent read the whole book but I have gone through some important chapters and Well, my first impressions are they have done a fairly good job. Though its not a comprehensive text book as such it touches upon important clinical issues and management points especially for the hospitalists. Its a good begining and I hope they carry this forward.
Im a third year IM resident planning to go in hospital medicine after graduation. Lots of topics which are crucial for a hospitalist are not usually covered in traditional internal medicine text books. This book covers them all. It addresses the non-medical aspects of hospital medicine pretty well.The approaches to presentations are presented from a hospitalist stand point which is different from the traditional internist approach.Quite evidence based. Presents the results of important trials in tables.The level of depth and detail is tailored for hospital medicine and impatient encounters. So you may need to go back to Harrison's to get indepth detail about certain topics.Overall I think this is a wonderful book. A bit expensive but definitely worth it.
It the best reference on hospital medicine available. But it should be broken down into three volumes of about 700 pages each. The book is so thick that when you open it, the pages bend into the center and it is awkward to read. This is the fault of the publish, not the writers.
I've been practicing medicine for 41 years. This book has been sorely needed and it is fantastic. Very well organized. Get's right to the point. Just what I need as a hospitalist. I have the Kindle edition. 5 stars.
Excellent source of information, well done for hospital work but the format is really very bad: too big, too bulky, too heavy, not practical at all; I tried to separate it in several tomes and to change it to spirals format but it was not possible either
Very helpful reference book; however it's huge! I thought it might be something I could carry around easily, but it's way too heavy. The information that is in there though is easy to read and each section is pretty concise. So once you find what you're looking for, it's a quick read.
