Preface<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The two of us\u2014practicing hospitalists and educators with a deep passion for evidence-based
\nmedicine\u2014designed this book for a broad range of readers and uses. It is applicable to clinicians at
\nall levels, including student and resident trainees, advanced practice clinicians, and attending
\nphysicians. It is written for both clinicians and educators, for personal self-study, or for teaching. It
\ncan be read cover to cover, or as needed when topics come up in practice or educational settings.
\nThe case method and topics were purposely selected. A case-based approach mirrors the way
\nhospital-based clinicians think and work, increasing the book’s clinical usefulness. Importantly, we
\nalso believe the case method is the most intuitive and enjoyable way to learn and teach to content.
\nWe selected chapters and points of emphasis based on their frequency or salience to hospital
\nmedicine. Instead of spanning comprehensively from initial presentation through diagnosis and
\nultimate treatment in every case, we chose to feature common conditions and situations that our
\nreaders are likely to encounter in the practice of hospital medicine. For instance, chapters about
\nchronic conditions emphasize acute exacerbations of disease\u2014the most likely scenario in which
\nhospital-based clinicians are likely to care for these patients.
\nArriving at these scenarios and clinical decision points allowed us to move naturally to the evidence.
\nWe emphasize the use of evidence to guide practice because we know that this skill is fundamental to
\ndelivering excellent care. As such, the book attempts to feature key elements of existing literature,
\nhighlighting its strengths, weaknesses, caveats, interpretations, and applications.
\nIn addition to clinical practice, our hope is that this volume will serve as a useful teaching aid for
\neducators at all levels. By highlighting pertinent questions and succinctly describing key evidence to
\nanswer them, the case-based method can facilitate discussion between educators and trainees. As
\nsuch, the book will be a useful resource on rounds or at the white board. Moreover, by familiarizing
\nreaders with some of the evidence that can help guide decisions, this volume will allow the clinical
\nsupervisor to model principles of evidence-based practice.
\nFrom the outset, we knew that our ability to achieve our goals in this volume would be predicated on
\nthe team we assembled to write it. We were very fortunate in that regard and able to engage
\nindividuals from Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center\/Harvard Medical School and the University
\nof Washington School of Medicine\u2014world-class institutions with a pool of exceptionally talented
\ncolleagues. The scope, framing, and detail of our content were further strengthened by review from
\nexperts at these outstanding clinical and educational centers.
\nThis is why and how we created this book. We are proud of the hard work from so many that it
\nrepresents. We are also proud because we believe it has the potential to be of great use to hospital-\u2010
\nbased clinicians and, ultimately, their patients.
