Recognized Multidisciplinary Expertise
Our division provides the region with cumulative decades of experience in multidisciplinary inpatient adult medicine.
Across seven service areas, our faculty work collaboratively with subspecialty providers, advanced practice providers, and other support staff to deliver high-value care for complex patient populations.
Hospital Medicine Services
At University Hospital and East Madison Hospital, our faculty and APPs provide direct care for patients with a wide range of conditions, supported by dedicated admitters, cross-cover providers, and triagists, with regular involvement of rotating medical students.
Our primary hospitalist provider (PHP) service enhances continuity for patients with complex, recurrent hospitalizations, while our consult service partners with orthopedic surgeons and primary care teams to provide perioperative risk assessment and medical optimization for surgery patients.
Procedure Service
Through our procedure service, we provide ultrasound-guided thoracentesis, paracentesis and lumbar punctures at the bedside. We also provide resident physicians with training in ultrasound evaluation on this service.
Hospitalist Oncology Service
Our faculty lead two inpatient teams that care for patients with a solid tumor diagnosis and complications of their malignancy. Each team is supported by dedicated oncology APPs.
UW Health Rehabilitation Hospital Service
Our service at UW Health Rehabilitation Hospital provides consultation and co-management for patients with diabetes, labile hypertension, heart failure, and other complex medical conditions.
We also provide education to caregivers to ensure a safe transition to the next stage of recovery.
Hospitalist At Home Care Service
This admitter/rounder service allows qualified patients to receive hospital care from the comfort of their own home, from IV medications to x-rays to daily APP and physician visits.
Patients on this service have demonstrated lower rates of hospital-associated complications, less functional decline, higher overall satisfaction and excellent medical outcomes.
