Abstract

Hospital medicine grew rapidly, creating a group of providers excelling at providing high-value and high-quality care. Consultative medicine aims to answer specific questions regarding aspects of a patient's care. Comanagement models initially evolved as surgical services began operating on increasingly medically complex patients. Hospitalists made an ideal partner in caring for a surgical patient. Outcomes of comanagement services are mixed, likely related to the variability with how they are structured. A successful comanagement model involves a thoughtful and detailed approach.
