Upholding Evidence, Advancing Prevention: The Evolving Mission of Hospital Medicine

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: Recent changes in healthcare policy, public health priorities, and the spread of misinformation have made it more difficult for hospitalists to secure timely outpatient follow-up after discharge. At the same time, evolving vaccination mandates and insurance coverage gaps have heightened risks to both individual patients and the broader community. By rethinking conventional limits of care delivery, hospitalists can enhance patient outcomes, reinforce public health, and uphold evidence-based practice in an increasingly uncertain environment.
