Objective To examine outcomes and resource use of patients cared for by hospitalists who use more inpatient consultation than their colleagues. Design, Setting, and Participants A retrospective cohort study of medical admissions to hospitalists among fee-for-service Medicare beneficiaries was conducted. Hospitalist consultation tendency was identified from January 1, 2013, to December 31, 2014; admissions were calculated in 2013; and outcomes were measured in 2014. Data were analyzed from January 31, 2017, to May 9, 2019. A total of 711 654 admissions with patients receiving care from 14 584 hospitalists at 737 hospitals were included. Exposure Admission to high-consulting hospitalists, considered to be those who were in the top 25% of the distribution of consulting frequency at their own hospital (adjusted for patient case mix). Main Outcomes and Measures Outcomes included length of stay, Medicare Part B inpatient cha1; 95% CI, 0.98-1.03; 30-day readmissions aOR, 1.01; 95% CI, 0.99-1.03). Conclusions and Relevance Hospitalists who obtain consultations more than their colleagues at the same institution were associated with greater use of health care resources without apparent mortality benefit. Further investigation should identify whether reducing high rates of consultation can reduce resource use without harming patients.Importance Little guidance exists to date on how to select antipsychotic medications for patients with first-episode schizophrenia.
