This may include difficulty applying current evidence-based strategies, unfamiliarity with recent developments, and challenges with bringing compassion to each encounter. Hospitalists sometimes struggle to maintain currency with the broad and rapidly-changing evidence in our field, and many
community hospitalists around the region lack access to subspecialists.
