With increasing medical complexity of patients undergoing surgery, there is a clear need for Hospital Medicine to establish a core role in developing collaborative perioperative care programs. Nearly one-quarter of hospitalizations occurring in the United States are for a surgical procedure. While less frequent than medical hospitalizations, surgical hospitalizations are associated with greater costs and longer lengths of stay. Hospitalists focus much of their efforts on improving systems that directly affect these outcomes. In addition, for decades, hospitalists have developed a variety of perioperative care programs in the United States, providing preoperative risk evaluations, preoperative optimization of medical conditions, perioperative comanagement and consultation, and postdischarge care of medical comorbidity for surgical patients. While these programs are clearly present in many institutions, they are not ubiquitous and are indeed highly variable.
By virtue of their training and their presence in the hospital, Hospitalists are well poised to lead efforts improving perioperative care in collaboration with surgical and anesthesia colleagues. Hospitalists have deep experience with quality and systems improvement. Hospitalists engage in caring for complicated and frail patients every day. Hospitalists focus on improving experience and outcomes for patients. Hospitalists see first hand the complications following surgical care. Altogether, the experiences and training hospitalists have makes them a clear partner for programmatic development and systems design in perioperative care. With proper engagement, hospitalists can help to reduce avoidable complications and resp
