the surgical teams in establishing a comprehensive service to optimize the care delivery of these patients and their complicated pathophysiology. Subsequent plans will assess how to deploy additional care team members that help move these patients efficiently through any inpatient stay (i.e. dieticians, gastroenterology, psychology, social work, PT).

Hospitalists staffing the Gut Failure Team will be members of the EUH Hospital Medicine Service which is in the Emory Division of Hospital Medicine. These hospitalists will devote at least 50% of their clinical work to the Gut Failure Team and will have the opportunity to rotate on other hospitalist services at EUH, potentially including the teaching service. This will provide recruited hospitalists to enhance their skills and knowledge in the management of gut failure patients while also maintaining broader hospitalist experience and skills.

Gut failure patients typically have inpatient or outpatient diagnoses:

• Fistulas
• Short bowel syndrome (with & without colon)
• Complicated and recurrent intestinal adhesions and/or obstructions
• Peritoneal abscesses
• Incisional & parastomal hernias (requiring complex abdominal wall reconstruction)
• Complicated pancreatitis
• Gastrointestinal hemorrhage
• Other conditions of the digestive tract leading to multiple intestinal resections and short gut

Key Responsibilities

A. Participate in medical management of gut failure patients in partnership with other care team members.

• Strong effective partnership with the general surgeons, APPs, nurses, GI, dietary, psychology, social work, trainees and hospital operational staff on all aspects of gut failure patients.

NOTE: Position tasks are required to be performed in-person at an Emory University location; working remote is not an option. Emory reserves the right to change this status with notice to employee.
