The Society of Hospital Medicine (SHM) is a medical society comprised of hospitalists that exists to promote exceptional care for hospitalized patients.
Advancing the practice of hospital medicine is at the core of SHM’s mission. Hospital medicine administrators play a key role in the strategic management of all employees. These resources are meant to help administrators grow professionally.
Developed by active hospital medicine administrators, this guide will help to educate new hospital medicine practice administrators about their roles and responsibilities, broaden skill sets of existing hospital medicine practice administrators and help employers create job descriptions for hospital medicine practice administrators with this resource.
Developed alongside SHM’s definitive Key Principles and Characteristics of an Effective Hospital Medicine Group framework, this assessment tool is specifically built to help practice leaders identify and address areas for improvement in HMGs from an administrator’s perspective. We recommend using this assessment in tandem with the evaluation steps and gap assessment tool.
