Abstract

The growing complexity of oncology care necessitates a collaborative and comprehensive approach to improve patient outcomes. Hospitalists, as integral members of the healthcare team, play a pivotal role in enhancing oncology care through early detection, multidisciplinary collaboration, and comprehensive management of cancer patients. By fostering communication between oncologists, primary care providers, and ancillary services, hospitalists enhance treatment continuity and patient satisfaction. Additionally, their expertise in managing comorbidities and addressing psychosocial aspects of cancer care is crucial for optimizing patient outcomes. Through a detailed examination of existing literature and clinical practices, this article underscores the importance of hospitalists in oncology, advocating for their expanded role in delivering holistic and patient-centered care that ultimately leads to improved survival rates and quality of life for cancer patients.
