- Title
U.S. trends in hospitalization and generalist physician workforce and the emergence of hospitalists.
- Authors
Meltzer, David O; Chung, Jeanette W
- Abstract
General internists and other generalist physicians have traditionally cared for their patients during both ambulatory visits and hospitalizations. It has been suggested that the expansion of hospitalists since the mid-1990s has "crowded out" generalists from inpatient care. However, it is also possible that declining hospital utilization relative to the size of the generalist workforce reduced the incentives for generalists to continue providing hospital care.
