Top DRGs in Hospital Medicine
The following represents a list of high-volume clinical topics that as a hospitalist, you should be comfortable evaluating and managing on a day-to-day basis. Depending on your background, training, and previous experience, your exposure to some of these topics may be limited. Inpatient Physician Associates prides itself on quality of care and as such, we want to ensure that you can evaluate and manage these conditions with confidence that you are following current guidelines when applicable and using evidence-based resources to guide your care of our patients. We have compiled a group of vetted resources for each topic, separated into required/recommended material and additional optional resources which you may find helpful. While this list is not comprehensive by any means, it should give you an excellent foundation.
