SHM's State of Hospital Medicine Report

The State of Hospital Medicine (SoHM) Report defines industry standards and is the most comprehensive resource on hospital medicine group configuration and operation. The report includes the most recent data on practice demographics, staffing levels, turnover, staff growth, compensation models and financial support for solid evidence-based management decisions from across the country.

Whether you are a practice administrator, physician, nurse practitioner, physician assistant, academic, HMG leader, hospitalist management company or a hospital/medical group executive, this Report contains regional and national trends in hospital medicine to help make decisions and improve groups.

The Report is available for purchase in electronic, print, or a bundle of both formats. If you have already purchased the electronic Report, you can access it here with your SHM credentials.

About the Survey

The State of Hospital Medicine Report combines data collected SHM’s State of Hospital Medicine and inaugural Hospital Medicine Workforce Experience Surveys and data from the Medical Group Management Association’s Physician Compensation and Production Survey. Participation from groups across the nation is crucial to the Report’s relevance and success, and as such SHM continually seeks to improve the diversity and scope of participants with each iteration.
