Study: Involving hospitalists in inpatient cancer care reduces patient stays, oncologist stress

Involving hospitalists in the co-management of care for patients with cancer is associated with decreased length of hospital stay for patients, increased inpatient hospital capacity, and reduced stress among oncologists—all while maintaining high-quality inpatient care, according to a new study from Yale Cancer Center and Smilow Cancer Hospital. The study was published March 9 in the Journal of Hospital Medicine.
