For less than the cost of the filing cabinet you probably stuff piles of journals into, you can now get an annual subscription to Practical Reviews in Hospital Medicine. This compact, on-demand audio CME program allows you to stay abreast of the latest clinical research in hospital medicine – as well as best practice management strategies focused on enhancing safety and quality for your patients while minimizing unnecessary length of stay.
And what’s more, you can listen when you want to and where you want to, without sifting through piles of literature or spending hours searching for hospitalist-specific articles. Listen in your car, in the workout room – anywhere you can bring an MP3 or portable CD player.

Statement of Need: This activity was developed in 2005 in response to the Hospitalists' need to keep abreast of advances and new developments in Hospital Medicine. Dr. Donald Deye, Medical Director, Oakstone Medical Publishing, and other experts surveyed the opinions of colleagues through one-to-one conversations with Hospitalists, a meeting with a hospital medicine department, two professional focus groups, and a survey of the eight-thousand members of the Society of Hospital Medicine and agreed on the following: (1) Hospitalists must maintain skills and competency; (2) The medical journals are a fertile source of new information which, however, is too diverse and voluminous to be effectively used by most busy clinicians; (3) Hospitalists need a timesaving way to more effectively use the peer-reviewed reports that appear in the medical journals; (4) The use of a literature service is a practical source of educational medicine.
Intended Audience: Hospitalists and others interested in education about the practice of hospital medicine.
Special Prerequisites for Participants: There are no prerequisites for participants.
Learning Objectives: At the conclusion of this activity, participants should be able to:
