Hospitalists are physicians specializing in the care of people who are in the hospital. They coordinate medical tests, seek input from other specialists as appropriate and communicate with the patient’s primary care physician.
Triad Hospitalists manage the care of nearly 40 percent of the patients in The Moses H. Cone Memorial Hospital, Wesley Long Hospital and Annie Penn Hospital. Bowman credits Krishnan’s leadership with substantial improvements in quality including fewer heart failure and pneumonia patients returning to the hospital for care after discharge.
