Hospitalists typically work a 7 on, 7 off model of 12‑hour shifts. During the week, two physicians and two APPs round with a shift start time of 7 AM. Providers alternate in a round‑and‑go model with at least one provider staying until 7 PM. An admitter comes in at 10 AM and works until 10 PM. The night provider comes in at 7 PM and works until 7 AM. On weekends, the admitter becomes a rounder, and there are no APPs and no admitter; physicians admit in a round‑robin fashion. Approx. one week in twelve is night coverage. Median census per physician team is 14 patients. Median number of day admissions is 8.5, and median number of night admissions is 6.

On‑site consultation is available from pulmonary/critical care, cardiology, surgery, and anesthesia. Other consultation can be sought from subspecialists at VCU Medical Center in Richmond but may require the patient to be transferred.
