Having your hospital hire specialist hospitalists can provide much-needed relief for EDs that can't fill their call panels.

There may be some patient resistance to unfamiliar physicians in sensitive areas such as obstetrics and gynecology. A surgical hospitalist may not have the intimate knowledge of a patient that their regular surgeon would have.
