The Emerging Role of “Hospitalists” in the American Health Care System
Abstract
The explosive growth of managed care has led to an increased role for general internists and other primary care physicians in the American health care system. This change is welcome in many respects, since generalists have perennially been undervalued by health care institutions, payers, and even patients.13 The greater prominence of generalism has led to an increase in the number of medical students who choose careers in primary care,4 expanded job opportunities for generalists,5 and a modest increase in the incomes of primary care physicians.6 Two of the principles underlying generalism, whether in the form of internal medicine, pediatrics, . . .

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
