Hospitalists are internal medicine physicians who specialize in caring for acutely ill hospitalized patients.  The hospitalist also coordinates care with the patient’s primary care physician.  Studies have shown that patients cared for by hospitalists have better medical outcomes, including higher survival rates, lower costs, and shorter hospital lengths of stay.
