SHM in a Nutshell

Society of Hospital Medicine is a network that facilitates research and implements patient centered care in a hospital setting. A hospital is a physician who practices hospital medicine. By creating a community where hospitals from around the country can collaborate and innovate common patient care discrepancies like, medication reconciliation, SHM can create appropriate and effective projects that any hospital can integrate into their system. SHM publishes medical journals, and holds annual meetings that provide educational materials that continue to promote the hospitalist.
