✦ Synopsis

Kramer on their article for the maiden voyage of the Journal of Hospital Medicine! 1 It represents the next step in propelling hospitalists to practice good geriatric medicine.

Readers may not be aware that the article adds to a growing body of literature addressing the particular challenges of treating hospitalized elders. Callahan et al. covered key issues in geriatric hospital medicine in the July 2002 issue of Medical Clinics of North America. 2 In that same issue, Michota contributed an overview of delirium in surgical patients. 3 Winawer reviewed postoperative delirium in more detail in a previous article. 4 Before that, Plauth reported results of a survey showing that hospitalists felt they needed better training in geriatrics. 5 We followed this up by outlining geriatrics as a priority for hospitalists and medical education and went on to articulate key areas requiring attention. 6 Finally and perhaps most notably, I would refer readers to the Society of Hospital Medicine's "Caring for the Hospitalized Elderly," an in-depth look at the topic from a number of national experts (supplement to The Hospitalist).

Keep up the great work!
