Study: Big benefits from oncology comanagement
The practice of oncology has migrated out of hospitals and into outpatient clinics where just about all chemotherapy and immunotherapy are delivered. As a result, according to a recent study in the Journal of Hospital Medicine (JHM) on the benefits of hospitalist comanagement of oncology patients, “Hospitalists are increasingly the attendings of record for solid tumor inpatients.”
Hospitalist Jensa Morris, MD, is director of the hospitalist service at Smilow Cancer Hospital, which occupies a tower in Yale New Haven Hospital in New Haven, Conn., and lead author of that JHM study.
