Published: November 2005

The hospitalist "specialty" is sweeping the inpatient setting with numbers of physicians choosing this specialty expected to exceed 20,000 by 2010. Yet, little is known about the involvement of nursing in the design, implementation, and evaluation of a hospitalist initiative.

The chief nursing officer can create an environment to foster research designed to identify outcomes from this partnership of hospitalist and clinical (nurse) manager.
