Conference Sponsorship SHM hosts SHM Converge, the nation’s largest conference for hospital medicine, offering sponsors opportunities for visibility, speaking slots, and exhibitor engagement. The attendee base includes over 15,000 hospitalists, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, and practice managers, creating a direct channel to hospital medicine decision makers. This makes conference sponsorship a high-potential entry point for education, tech demonstrations, and services aligned to hospital medicine practice.

Content Partnerships SHM publishes the Journal of Hospital Medicine and collaborates on evidence-based content, including partnerships to develop point-of-care materials and substance use disorder resources. There is demand for practical content, decision support, and implementation education through initiatives like Mentor University and quality improvement programs. Vendors can offer clinical decision support tools, CME-enabled courses, and integrated educational resources aligned with hospitalist practice.

Care Transitions SHM has a track record of partnerships aimed at improving care transitions and reducing readmissions, such as bundled transition of care interventions for COPD. This signals openness to care management platforms, analytics, and workflow solutions that enable discharge planning and post-discharge follow-up. Vendors should consider EHR-integrated workflows, remote monitoring, and data dashboards that demonstrate outcomes and ROI.

Policy Compliance SHM engages in policy development and advocates for hospital medicine through white papers and regulatory commentary, indicating opportunities for policy analytics, reimbursement guidance, and compliance tooling. Partnerships could include regulatory training programs, thought leadership content, and tools that help hospitalist groups navigate evolving policies. This aligns with sales of risk management and advocacy-focused software or services.

Membership Analytics With a substantial membership base and a history of running the nation's largest hospital medicine conference, SHM is a steady demand source for membership management, events, and professional development. This creates opportunities for CRM, event registration, data analytics, and benchmarking solutions tailored to medical societies and large professional organizations.
