Six guiding principles for the establishment of pediatric hospitalist programs are identified in this statement concerning voluntary referrals; local design; minimum physician-training requirements; arrangement for appropriate follow-up; communication among primary care physicians, subspecialists, and hospitalists; and data collection and outcome measurements.
