John Nelson, MD, MHM, FACP is the nation’s preeminent expert on hospital medicine practice management. A practicing hospitalist since 1988, Dr. Nelson co-founded the Society of Hospital Medicine (the medical society for the nation’s hospitalists) and remains an active figure in the evolution of hospitalist practice nationally. In 2010, the society honored Dr. Nelson for his contributions to the field by inducting him as one of only three members of the inaugural class of Masters in Hospital Medicine (MHM).
In addition to his work in practice management consulting, Dr. Nelson continues to practice regularly at Overlake Hospital in Bellevue, Washington, and serves as his program’s medical director. Thus, he can relate first-hand to the practical challenges of managing a growing hospitalist practice, and readily establishes credibility with the hospitalists in client organizations.
Dr. Nelson is in high demand as a speaker and writer on the subject of hospital medicine.
He serves as course co-director and faculty for the Society of Hospital Medicine's one-day practice management courses, "Best Practices in Managing a Hospital Medicine Program"
and "Taking Your Practice to the Next Level: Management Strategies for Challenging Times".
Dr. Nelson also writes a monthly practice management column for SHM's monthly
newsmagazine The Hospitalist.
