Brazilian HM movement presented at the SHM2012

It was at the Global Health for Hospitalists workshop. Objectives were to gain a better understanding of common ethical challenges encountered when working in resource-limited settings; to gain a better understanding of current clinical practice and challenges for hospitalists engaged in global health work; and to discuss opportunities for hospitalists interested in global health.

Questions we work with the participants:

1. How do we demonstrate the benefits of hospitalists to hospitals and other physicians?

2. How do we get physicians to recognize hospital medicine as a sustainable, long-term career?

3. How do we develop young, hospitalist leaders?

4.How can we improve the continuity of care amongst hospitalists?

Tell us what you think about some thought-provoking questions.

VTE: What Are You and Your Hospital Doing?

VTE is the No. 1 preventable cause of hospital-associated death for medical inpatients. Most hospitals are struggling to decrease the number of DVTs and PEs in their patient population by teaching or reminding staff to check for risk factors in each patient and, if necessary, provide VTE prophylaxis. While this seems like a simple solution, anyone who’s currently struggling to turn the numbers around this way can assure you that it is an uphill battle. What Are You and Your Hospital Doing?

PASHA comprises an independent network of physicians from across the Americas. By fostering a professional culture of collaboration and knowledge sharing, our goal is to promote the dissemination of ideas and the improvement of Hospital Medicine practice.

This is what hospitalists from Chile are doing in their hospital:


Let’s share experiences and results! You could write in English or in Spanish.
