Comparison of inpatient subspecialty care delivery models: Clinical outcomes and racial disparities in dedicated versus consultative pulmonary care

Hospitals could consider pilot-testing dedicated inpatient pulmonary care models, as more work is needed to validate these findings in broader settings.
