Comparing patient outcomes of academician-preceptors, hospitalist-preceptors, and hospitalists on internal medicine services in an academic medical center.
The aim of this study was to compare patient outcomes between hospitalist-preceptors and hospitalists working alone, and between hospitalist-preceptors and academician-preceptors. The researchers found that preceptor-led medicine services were associated with more readmissions within 30 days, shorter lengths of stay, and lower index admission-associated costs. However, they also found that when considering cumulative hospitalization costs, patients discharged by academician-preceptors incurred the highest cost and hospitalist-preceptors incurred the lowest cost.
