Check out this course to learn the basics of common E/M codes for hospitalists and to understand principles for accurate and complete documentation. Learn from a coder and a hospitalist, both of them drawing on their extensive knowledge and experience in documentation, coding, billing rules, and best practices.

Publish or Perish: A Path Forward for Digital Scholarship
Digital scholarship is ubiquitous in medicine. Healthcare workers, including hospitalists, consume it through a variety of mediums including audio, video, and data visualization. Many physicians disseminate digital scholarship through social media. Despite existing guidelines for the assessment of digital scholarship, academic medical centers (AMCs) often fail to incorporate and adjudicate digital media-based scholarship into accepted criteria for academic promotion. In this JHM perspective, the authors identify an opportunity for AMCs to implement standardized criteria for promotion opportunities regardless of an individuals’ scholarship medium.
