Episode 105 - Inside the Hospital Walls: Understanding the Hospitalist Program
In this insightful episode of Twenty Seven Degrees, hosts Dr. Christopher Joncas and Nancy Medeiros sit down with Dr. Raju Singla to explore the often-overlooked but critical role of hospitalists in today’s healthcare system. Broadcasting from the Bioskills of the Northeast Studio in Fall River, MA, the discussion pulls back the curtain on the hospitalist model and its impact on patient care.
Dr. Singla explains what a hospitalist program is, how it enhances the coordination of inpatient care, and what sets hospitalists apart from other providers. He shares his personal journey into hospital medicine and addresses some of the most common concerns patients and families have when navigating hospital stays.
This episode also touches on how hospitalists work in collaboration with primary care providers, ensuring a seamless continuum of care before, during, and after a hospital admission. With a focus on patient advocacy, communication, and efficiency, hospitalists play a crucial role in modern healthcare—and this episode highlights just how valuable they are.
