Collaboration
The Society of Hospital Medicine (SHM) and five other professional medical societies have developed a set of consensus standards to reduce hospital readmissions and address the quality in transitions of care between inpatient and outpatient settings." (SAEM is of the five). As you will note further from the release:
"Hospital readmissions are a critical issue in American healthcare today. New research in the April 2009 New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM) revealed that one out of five Medicare patients are readmitted to the hospital within 30 days of discharge. Earlier in 2009, SHM announced the national implementation of Project BOOST, a program designed to help hospitals decrease the number of readmissions."

US Critical Illness and Injury Trials Group (USCIITG) December 8-9, 2009 annual meeting. The USCIITG promotes clinical research and the application of new data to improve outcomes for the critically ill or injured. To this end, it aims to establish an inclusive, nationwide network of experts to review published data, establish national priorities, vet hypotheses, write clinical protocols, and generate pilot data. The call for clinical proposals for the 2009 meeting closes September 30, 2009. As a few measures of success, approximately half of the 2008 projects have applied for NIH funding subsequent to the Fall meeting, and over half have started new projects with USCIIT Group investigators. For more information please visit the USCIIT Group web site http://www.usciitg.wustl.edu.
