Hospital Practice is not accepting new submissions at this time. Please submit to our sister journal, Postgraduate Medicine, instead. Hospital Practice is an international, peer-reviewed journal published 5 times annually that serves physicians specializing in the medically-ill hospitalized patient. We cover the latest in-hospital treatments and protocols serving the needs of patients pre- and post-discharge, and routinely cover topics such as: prevention and treatment of venous thromboembolism; cardiovascular disease; transition of care; infectious disease and nosocomial infections; in-hospital glycemic control; and acute respiratory conditions. Hospital Practice is a peer-to-peer method of communicating the latest research to aid physicians' advancement in treatment and best practices. Our mission is to provide relevant, useful, and authoritative medical information to help physicians responsible for inpatient care to solve clinical problems and improve patient management. Thanks to contributions from leading physicians and researchers from around the world, each issue contains original research, evidence-based review articles, health outcomes articles, and editorials, which assist hospital-based physicians (such as hospitalists) in making decisions by including the latest techniques and treatment options for their patients. Authors can publish gold open access in this journal and may choose to publish using our Accelerated Publication services.
