The Section on Hospital Medicine accepts original research and evaluation of quality improvement projects pertinent to the care of hospitalized children, the administration of the inpatient service, or the education of care providers on the inpatient service.

Presenters of accepted abstracts should notify Dr. Eric Biondi as soon as possible if they must cancel their presentation.

Abstracts will be accepted for poster presentations only. Also, the abstract must be original research or quality improvement evaluation; case reports will not be accepted.

Abstracts may be published in a future issue of Hospital Pediatrics or Pediatrics.

All research conducted by abstract authors should have been approved by the Institutional Review Board of the institution(s) where the research was conducted, unless the research was exempt. The abstract selection committee may ask for documentation of approval or exemption by the respective IRBs if warranted.

Abstracts may be submitted to another scientific society for presentation, but should not have been published prior to presentation at the AAP. Papers presented at previous AAP meetings should not be re-submitted.

The Pediatric Hospital Medicine Abstract Research Award is available for the best research submitted for consideration. The winner receives $1,000 plus a plaque and is expected to be present during the poster presentation for the award ceremony. Award guidelines can be found on the Section web site at www.aaphosmed.org.

Abstract Chairperson: Dr. Eric Biondi
