title: Partner with inpatient physicians to achieve your case management goals.
abstract: Imagine having at your disposal a group of physicians whose goals mirror yours, who are as committed as you are to creating efficiencies in patient care, and who support case management efforts with more than lip service. For case managers who've endured years of adversarial relationships with attending physicians, that description may sound like a fantasy. But in a growing number of facilities, hospital-employed inpatient physicians, or hospitalists, are bucking the old trend of physician resistance to case management tools and concepts.
