Roles considered important for hospitalist and non-hospitalist generalist practice in Japan: a survey study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

An increased focus on quality and patient safety has led to the evolution of hospitalists. The number of hospitalists covering ward and outpatient care is on the rise in Japan. However, it is unclear what roles hospital workers themselves consider important in their practice. Therefore, this study investigated what hospitalists and non-hospitalist generalists in Japan consider important for the practice of their specialty.

Methods

This was an observational study that included Japanese hospitalists (1) currently working in a general medicine (GM) or general internal medicine department and (2) working at a hospital. Using originally developed questionnaire items, we surveyed the items important to hospitalists and non-hospitalist generalists.
