Society of Hospital Medicine

Society of Hospital Medicine Empowering hospitalists. Transforming patient care.

SHM is the only organization solely dedicated to hospital medicine, the fastest growing specialty in the history of medicine. It is our mission to promote the highest quality care for hospitalized patients, as well as provide opportunities and support to hospitalists. We are committed to enhancing the practice of hospital medicine by promoting education, research and advocacy. A hospitalist is a clinician whose primary professional focus is the general medical care of hospitalized patients. Hospitalists engage in clinical care, teaching, research and enhancing the performance of hospitals and healthcare system. Hospitalists are focused around a site of care (the hospital) rather than an organ (like cardiology), a disease (like oncology) or a patient’s age (like pediatrics). Unlike other medical specialties, hospitalists help manage patients through the continuum of hospital care, often seeing patients in the emergency room, following them into the critical care unit and organizing post-acute care.

With evolving practice standards and the availability of new diabetes medications, hospitalists can help to optimize and manage care. Learn more about new treatment options:

Hospitalized patients with diabetes require specialized management to reduce readmission rates and complications. Newer diabetes medications offer benefits beyond glucose control, including cardiovascular and renal protection, but their inpatient use requires careful consideration.
