Clinical knowledge for hospital medicine through structured clinical offerings.

Abstract

Society of Hospital Medicine Rapid Clinical Updates (RCUs) was developed as a tool for healthcare professionals to bridge the gap between the latest advancements and standard clinical practice. An online seminar series with nationally recognized speakers was developed with input from hospitalists and literature review. For each session, a subspecialist was paired with a hospitalist to present the latest medical research and practical implementation into clinical practice. Active audience participation was encouraged, and survey data were collected on the quality of the sessions and their impact on clinical practice. Over the past 4 years, this virtual platform has consistently been rated as high-quality and impacting clinical practice.
