2. Figure 1
One dominant institution critical care department collects 23.5% of clinical revenues from its hospitalist business in outlying hospitals. Pulmonary-critical care medicine practitioners in those hospitals now have to travel to further outlying hospitals and long-term acute care hospitals to replace revenue for clinical service siphoned off by the mother institution’s hospitalist business. The hospitalists “have the best [shortest] length of stay metrics” and “will be leaders in all aspects of hospital operations including infection control, workflow, patient satisfaction, and resource management.” ( and accessed May )
