HBS stands for Hospital Based Specialist. The hospitalist system is a growing trend nationwide and within Kaiser Permanente. (To learn more about the hospitalist movement, go to the National Association of Inpatient Physicians Web site.) Our HBS program was implemented in April 1997 and has led to improvements in teaching and patient care. Our hospitalist program has also been recognized as the model for Northern California Kaiser Permanente. There are 10 full-time general internists and 6 full-time intensivists providing attending supervision for all inpatient resident rotations including the General Medicine Ward and ICU rotations. In addition to their Internal Medicine responsibilities, HBS physicians also care for non Internal Medicine patients on non teaching services.
