SHM Names Masters of Hospital Medicine, Board of Directors for 2013
SHM has named its 2013-2014 board of directors and three new Masters in Hospital Medicine, the highest designation in the HM specialty.
The Master in Hospital Medicine (MHM) designation is reserved for hospitalists who have distinguished themselves in the specialty through the excellence and significance of their contributions to hospital medicine and health care as a whole. Nominations were reviewed by SHM’s Masters Selection Committee and the board of directors. The MHM designation was introduced in 2010; this year’s designees bring the total number of MHMs to 13.
The 2013 Masters in Hospital Medicine are:
Scott A. Flanders, MD, MHM, professor in the division of general internal medicine at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, where he serves as associate division chief of general medicine for inpatient programs and associate director of inpatient programs for the department of internal medicine. He is also the director of the University of Michigan’s hospitalist program.
David O. Meltzer, MD, PhD, MHM, chief of the section of hospital medicine, director of the Center for Health and the Social Sciences, associate professor in the medicine and economics departments and the Harris School of Public Policy Studies, at the University of Chicago.
Jeffrey G. Wiese, MD, MHM, professor of medicine and associate dean for graduate medical education at the Tulane University Health Sciences Center, as well as associate chair of medicine and the chief of the charity medical service. He is also the director of Tulane’s internal-medicine residency program.
The new MHMs will take the stage to officially be inducted, along with more than 200 Fellows and Senior Fellows, on May 18 at HM13, SHM’s annual meeting (www.hospitalmedicine2013.org) at the Gaylord National Resort and Conference Center in National Harbor, Md.
“SHM’s Masters in Hospital Medicine are truly the hall of fame of the hospital medicine specialty,” says SHM President Shaun Frost, MD, SFHM. “It is an honor to recognize their contributions to hospitalists and patients alike.”
Nominations for all three levels of SHM’s Fellows program are accepted throughout the year. For details, visit www.hospitalmedicine.org/fellows.
SHM also announced the election of three new board members; each will serve a three-year term beginning this month. The new board members are:
Howard Epstein, MD, FHM, chief health systems officer at the Institute for Clinical Systems Improvement in Bloomington, Minn.
Bradley Sharpe, MD, FACP, SFHM, professor of medicine at the University of California at San Francisco’s department of medicine, associate program director for UCSF’s internal medicine residency program and associate division chief in the division of hospital medicine.
Patrick J. Torcson, MD, MMM, SFHM, vice president and chief integration officer, and director of hospital medicine for St. Tammany Parish Hospital, Covington, La.
“We welcome these new faces to the SHM board of directors and appreciate the commitment of their time and expertise to the goals of SHM, hospitalists, and hospitalized patients everywhere,” Dr. Frost says.

SHM To Award First Certificates of Leadership at HM13
This month, Thomas McIlraith, MD, SFHM, will be on stage at HM13 accepting one of the first SHM Certificates in Leadership. As chair of hospital medicine at Sacramento, Calif.-based Mercy Medical Group, Dr. McIlraith already is familiar with the need for leadership in our specialty and shares why SHM’s Leadership Academy and new certification have helped his hospital and his career.
Question: What made you apply for the Certificate in Leadership in the first place?
Answer: I have always felt that a young field like hospital medicine needs to have resources to develop leadership; I don’t think there is another place in the field of medicine that has more shared responsibility requiring coordinated response than hospital medicine.
I have always been impressed and grateful that SHM recognized this and put forth the considerable effort required to create and develop the Leadership Academies into the premiere institution that they have evolved into. That is why I not only got involved in the leadership academies personally, but also had my entire leadership team complete the curriculum.
Certification is the culmination of that experience for me; I am hoping it is not the end, however. I have had other leadership training course work, and while the SHM Leadership Academies and the certification process were the best experience, I have learned that you can never have too much leadership training.
There are always new challenges a leader will be called on to face, and leadership skills need to continually grow.
Q: What’s been the biggest impact on your career so far? How do you plan on using it in the future?
A: It is not enough to be successful; you have to be able to tell the story of your success. Most of us want to be humble and focus on serving our patients, but the tree that falls in the woods is applicable to successful hospital medicine programs: If nobody hears about it, are you really successful? Can you really drive change?
Lenny Marcus put it best in his SHM Leadership Academy session on meta-leadership: Learning how to communicate to your boss is leading up; communicating across the silos of your organization is meta-leadership. The academies teach you about the skills you need for leadership; certification allows you to put those skills into action.
I vividly remember the day that academy instructor Eric Rice called me up to give me feedback on the first draft of my project. I was already stressed out because in four days I knew I had to give a critical presentation to top hospital leadership and health plan medical directors about our group. We had two new hospital presidents and a new service area senior vice president that had already terminated their contract with the ED group that covered three of the four hospitals. I knew they were scrutinizing my group; the pressure was on.
Eric gave the feedback that I had been focusing on the clinical aspects of my project and said I needed to tell the economic story—to measure the economic impact of my intervention. Further, he advised me on how to get the data to tell that story. I knew that he had just given me the material I needed to blow away the upcoming presentation to the hospital presidents, but would I get the data in time? I called up the CFO of the hospital as Eric advised, told him that I needed the data for a presentation I was giving to his boss in four days.
I got the data in time and blew away the presentation. I got to inform one of the new presidents that we had improved the contribution margin in his ICU by half a million dollars and cut length of stay by 0.9 days, while dramatically improving sepsis mortality. I was then able to go on and tell the HM leaders of our entire hospital system about our intervention and encouraged them to take similar steps.
Someday I hope I get the chance to tell Lenny Marcus this story; I hope he will consider me a meta-leader.
After the dust settled from those successes, I went back to my computer to write up the final draft of my project and I was able to tell a much better story than I ever could have without that advice Eric Rice and the committee [gave me].
My new boss was at the presentation that I gave. We went to the American Medical Group Association conference recently, and he did not hesitate to walk around bragging about what we had done, often quoting the numbers I delivered in my presentation. In another coda to the story, the new service area senior vice president asked my wife and I to join him and his wife for dinner; we have struck up a very valuable friendship.
—Thomas McIlraith, MD, SFHM
Q: What would you say to others who are thinking about applying for the certificate?
A: What are you waiting for?
On a more serious note, we are all engaged with important projects to make our hospitals run better, to keep our patients safer, and give our patients better experience. In the certification process, you continue with that work while top leaders from the field of hospital medicine coach and advise you.
Not only do you come out with a better product in the short term, but also you have better skills for taking on projects in the future; you know what questions to ask and what stories to tell and to whom. That stays with you long after the certification project is over.
Q: How are the results of your project benefiting your institution?
A: My hospitalists are seeing increased productivity and my hospitals are seeing stronger contribution margin in tough economic times. Further, the successful completion of the project has elevated the reputation of my department.

ONLINE EXCLUSIVE: From Hospitalists, for Hospitalists: Top 10 Reasons To Come To HM13
In March, Noah J. Finkel, MD, FHM, of Lahey Health System-Lahey Hospital emailed his hospitalist colleagues and encouraged them to join him at HM13 next month. For hospitalists still undecided about attending the largest conference specifically for hospitalists—especially academic hospitalists and those interested in health IT—SHM offers Dr. Finkel’s “Top 10” reasons to register for the annual meeting, which kicks off May 16 at the Gaylord National Resort and Conference Center in National Harbor, Md.
- HM13 offers 22.5 CME credits (sometimes better just to spend a few days cramming it in).
- Hospitalists on the Hill (hospitalmedicine2013.org/advocacy.php): great opportunity to meet with members of Congress and discuss issues important to HM (because you really don’t understand the SGR for Medicare reimbursement).
- Network with other hospitalists from across the country (avoid “local” medical thinking).
- Academic medicine track courses to enhance your teaching and research expertise (please admit that you were probably never formally trained).
- Comanagement pre-course and track to help with Medicine consult and orthopedic comanagement (is it a good time to start a beta-blocker?).
- Updates in the evidence-based medicine track to make sure that you know about the latest research before the medical students do (never good to be revealed as practicing “old medicine”).
- Hospitalist career track lecture to make sure you are climbing the ladder (do you have a career plan at all?).
- CPOE guidelines for inpatient medical care: perfect role for a hospitalist.
- Bob Wachter’s keynote on quality, safety, and IT. He’s the father of HM—’nuff said.
- ZDoggMD, the funniest hospitalist there is!
Dr. Finkel is medical director of information technology, hospital medicine; assistant professor, Tufts University School of Medicine, Lahey Health System-Lahey Hospital, Boston

- Comanagement pre-course and track to help with Medicine consult and orthopedic comanagement (is it a good time to start a beta-blocker?).
- Updates in the evidence-based medicine track to make sure that you know about the latest research before the medical students do (never good to be revealed as practicing “old medicine”).
- Hospitalist career track lecture to make sure you are climbing the ladder (do you have a career plan at all?).
- CPOE guidelines for inpatient medical care: perfect role for a hospitalist.
- Bob Wachter’s keynote on quality, safety, and IT. He’s the father of HM—’nuff said.
- ZDoggMD, the funniest hospitalist there is!

HM13: Bringing Hospital Medicine to the East Coast
Every year, hospitalists from across the country come together at SHM’s annual meeting. With this year’s convention located just a few miles south of Washington, D.C., HM13 will be the most convenient meeting for thousands of hospitalists who live and work on or near the East Coast.
In fact, many won’t even need to board a plane to meet up with thousands of fellow hospitalists. For those in Boston, Baltimore, New York, Philadelphia, and other cities in the northeast corridor, the only meeting designed specifically for hospitalists is just a short drive or train ride away.
And when they arrive at the Gaylord National Resort and Convention Center in National Harbor, Md., hospitalists will find a truly expansive experience dedicated to the specialty. In addition to featuring four days of educational content, the meeting gives hospitalists the chance to catch up with old friends and network with new colleagues. Plus, with an exhibit floor filled with the nation’s top recruiters, service providers, and pharmaceutical innovators, hospitalists can get up to speed on the best offerings in the industry in a matter of hours.
Check out our 6-minute feature video: "Five Reasons You Should Attend HM13"
With so many offerings and opportunities in one place, the challenge for most hospitalists isn’t finding something to do—it’s planning their meeting schedule to achieve all of their career and educational goals.
This year, hospitalists can plan their meeting experience with HM13 at Hand, SHM’s mobile application. Now, any hospitalist with a tablet or smartphone and an Internet connection can add educational sessions to their HM13 plan, view paperless abstracts, and connect with other HM13 attendees in advance of the meeting.

The Society of Hospital Medicine Expands Learning, Networking Opportunities for Hospitalists
CME: Coming to a Screen Near You Hospitalists often turn to
SHM for continuing medical education (CME) credits. Soon, SHM members will have even more options for earning and tracking CME through its new Learning Portal.
Due to launch in May, the Learning Portal will give hospitalists new online content for hospitalist-specific CME credits. It will offer personalized portfolios to track CME credits earned through the Learning Portal and other CME sources.
For more on the portal, visit www.hospitalmedicine.org in May.
HMX: Expanding the Conversation with More Than 1,400 Hospitalists
More and more hospitalists are turning to HMX, SHM's online collaboration and discussion site, for questions and answers from their HM colleagues. More than 1,400 hospitalists have logged into HMX; earlier this year, HMX notched its 10,000th log-in.
For topics ranging from paid time off to working with post-discharge clinics to reduce readmissions, HMX has quickly become the source for practical, up-to-date information from hospitalists in the know. Plus, HMX users have posted dozens of helpful documents and other resources to more than three dozen active, topic-based communities on HMX. Others have used HMX to connect with other hospitalists directly through the HMX directory.

Project BOOST: It's Not Too Early to Apply
The best hospital discharge processes start at admission. And, as with planning for patient discharges, applying for SHM's Project BOOST is best done in advance. SHM will be accepting applications for its 2013 cohort through June, but the process requires a letter of support from an executive sponsor and an application, so April is a great time to get started.
Just ask Jean Range of The Joint Commission: "Project BOOST provides a clear plan of action for hospitals who want to improve the discharge process for their older patients. Utilizing the free resources that BOOST provides will result in decreased rehospitalization and better patient outcomes—a win-win situation for all involved."
For more information, visit www.hospitalmedicine.org/boost.
Hospitalists Can Lead by Following (and Friending)
SHM's presence is growing. More than 1,600 hospitalists and others interested in HM are getting the latest updates about hospital medicine from @SHMLive, SHM's Twitter feed. And SHM's Facebook page has received nearly 2,200 "likes."
