Cancer News: Cancer Centers Increasingly Adopting Hospitalist Model For Oncology. Medscape (8/16, Nelson, 192K) reported that while “not yet a universal phenomenon, cancer centers and multispecialty medical centers offering cancer care have been increasingly adopting the hospitalist model for oncology during the past decade.” Medscape added that “according to the” Society of Hospital Medicine, “the growth of oncology hospitalists has been fueled by factors such as the aging of the population and restrictions on the number of hours that residents can work.” While “there are few data specifically on oncology hospitalists, a pilot oncology hospitalist program was a ‘universal success,’ according to a study presented at the 2007 ASCO annual meeting.”
