Leaders: Teaching Students to Speak Up for Safety

The other area of growth and leadership for hospitalists is in the actual "doing" of improvement. It’s a skill, and it’s increasingly a needed skill for physicians. The third area is information technology integration and education. This means not only thinking of how health information systems should be built for hospital providers, but also thinking of how to educate users about why they were created in a certain way, how to use them safety, and what’s available.
