The work of the Japanese Society of Hospital General Medicine – the foremost membership organization supporting hospitalists in Japan – will be the focus of “Hospital Medicine in Japan” on Tuesday from 12:45-1:30 p.m. in Grand Ballroom 12-14.
“Hospital Medicine is being adopted and spread around the world,” stated Larry Wellikson, MD, MHM, the CEO of SHM. “We have invited the leaders of the Japanese Society of Hospital General Medicine to come to HM18 to give our attendees the inside story on how hospital medicine is changing the management of acutely ill patients in Japan.
The Japanese society held its 15th annual conference in September 2017. SHM was represented on the faculty by outgoing Board President Ron Greeno, MD, MHM.
Hospital Medicine in Japan will be led by three prominent Japanese hospitalists: Jun Hayashi, MD, PhD, of Kyushu University Hospital in Fukuoka; Toshio Naito, MD, PhD, of Juntendo University in Tokyo; and Susumu Tazuma, MD, PhD, of Hiroshima University Hospital. Dr. Naito is also president of the Japanese Society.
“For the past several years, SHM has taken a more deliberate approach to cultivating international relationships,” said Ethan Gray, CAE, vice president of SHM membership.
“Similar to the factors that influence hospital medicine implementation in general, SHM’s role around the world will need to be nuanced,” he said. “The society is taking cues from leaders on the ground to determine how we can be supportive.”
Currently, SHM has four official international affiliations in various stages of development:
- Canada – Founded as an SHM chapter in 2001, the Canadian Society of Hospital Medicine is the leading hospitalist membership society in Canada and hosts regular educational conferences that include SHM leaders as faculty.
- Brazil – Hospitalists began organizing in 2006, creating the foundation for the launch of an official SHM chapter in 2016. SHM provides faculty for both on-site conferences in Brazil and webinars.
- The Middle East – An official chapter was initiated in 2016 with leadership from Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates. SHM faculty has participated in its regional educational sessions.
- The Netherlands – A government-funded pilot program has been training hospitalists in the Netherlands since 2012. Its official SHM chapter was founded in 2017. As the government reviews the training program pilot, SHM may help chapter leaders to define hospital medicine’s role in the Dutch health system.
“In addition to these official associations, SHM is cultivating relationships with other international organizations serving the hospital medicine community,” Mr. Gray stated. “This includes interactions with the Japanese Society, as well as the Society for Acute Medicine in the United Kingdom.”
Preliminary conversations have taken place with leaders in several other countries about establishing SHM chapters, he said, including Argentina, India, Panama, Portugal, Singapore, Slovakia, South Korea, and Spain. Discussions also include potential delivery of resources to providers and establishment of a venue for research sharing and networking.
As SHM expands its international activities, it is dedicating staff resources to international chapter development, including the facilitation of virtual communities on its Hospital Medical Exchange (HMX).
“Our goal,” Mr. Gray said, “is to learn from one another.”
