Treatment Strategies by Training Specialty: Patient Consequences of Hospitalist and Specialist Practice Patterns

Our identification strategy focuses on a subset of common conditions treated by both hospitalists and specialists within a single hospital such that the setting and organizational policies are the same for both physician types.
