Hospital Medicine in the Post-COVID Era: Innovations in Inpatient Care and Recovery
Course Overview
This continuing medical education (CME) is designed to equip hospitalists, advanced practice providers, and healthcare administrators engaged in the delivery of acute and post-acute care. The course provides a comprehensive exploration of the post-pandemic evolution of hospital medicine, focusing on the management of escalating patient complexity and the shift toward longitudinal care models. Participants will examine the systemic impact of post-acute sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 (PASC), the implementation of “Hybrid Hospital” and Hospital-at-Home (HaH) architectures, and the integration of predictive analytics in daily workflows. By synthesizing recent clinical evidence with operational innovations, this course equips clinicians to optimize patient safety, functional recovery, and system-wide resilience in a modernized healthcare environment.
