AHIP Exam AHM-540 Topic 3 Question 37 Discussion

The following statement(s) can correctly be made about the hospitalist approach to inpatient care management:

Management of inpatient care by hospitalists may significantly reduce the length of stay and the total costs of care for a hospital admission

A hospitalist's familiarity with utilization management (UM) and quality management (QM) standards for inpatient care may reduce unnecessary variations in care and improve clinical outcomes
