Abstract
In response to the evolving complexity of inpatient care, pediatric hematology/oncology (PHO) hospitalist programs have become a vital component of care delivery. To advance this emerging field, we convened a multidisciplinary collaboration from programs across the United States to define the landscape, identify challenges, and outline a path forward. This Special Report highlights the critical role of PHO hospitalists in delivering specialized, high-acuity care, leading quality improvement and patient safety efforts, and discussing workforce challenges. It offers a collaborative framework to support sustainable growth and define the future of PHO hospitalist medicine.
