While initial triage determinations often occur prehospital and in the emergency department, reverse triage is where hospital medicine can significantly impact overall hospital flow and capacity. At some hospitals, hospital medicine clinicians may also staff postdischarge follow-up visits to ensure adequate follow-up for patients needing early hospital discharge. Such primary hospital medicine research may prove vital to rapidly expand space and staffing during future disasters, enabling hospitals to best maintain functionally equivalent or sufficient care practices during patient surges that require contingency or crisis care planning. Indeed, the COVID-19 pandemic highlights the importance of hospital medicine leadership in disaster response throughout all phases of disaster and serves as a catalyst for formalizing the important role of hospital medicine leadership in disaster preparedness and response plans.
