patients admitted to the hospital, as well as improve care for patients in the outpatient setting. Upon<br />

admission to the hospital as a medical patient, the hospitalist will manage all aspects of the hospitalization,<br />

including admission and discharge, ordering tests, lab work and coordinate care with specialists as needed.<br />
