Randomized Controlled Trial
Effect of a hospitalist-care coordinator team on a nonteaching hospitalist service.
Although many hospitalists work with clinical coordinators, few studies have evaluated their impact. ⋯ Hospitalists working in a team approach with an HCC reported improved efficiency and job satisfaction compared with hospitalists working independently. These findings are important in light of growing concerns about hospitalist workload and job satisfaction.
