AB  - Care  of  the  hospitalized  child  has  evolved  dramatically  since  publication  of  the  first  edition  of  The  Philadelphia  Guide:  Inpatient  Pediatrics.  Conditions  that  previously  required  prolonged  hospitalization  are  now  often  treated  exclusively  in  the  outpatient  setting  or  with  only  a  brief  hospitalization.  Advances  in  medical  technology  have  improved  the  survival  rate  of  premature  infants  and  those  with  chronic  medical  conditions.  Further,  changes  in  healthcare  delivery  have  placed  renewed  emphasis  on  value,  with  an  expectation  of  better  outcomes  at  lower  cost.  As  a  result,  the  type  of  physician  caring  for  these  patients  has  also  changed.  At  many  institutions,  hospital-based  specialists,  or  “hospitalists,”  now  provide  care  for  the  majority  of  patients  admitted  to  general  pediatric  wards,  leading  to  the  evolution  of  pediatric  hospital  medicine  as  a  new  specialty.
