Hold on, is the hospitalist also a mind reader? How else would they know what 'appropriate care' means? I'm going with option D, just to be on the safe side.

Hospitalists do not need to be mind readers, they rely on medical knowledge and communication with the care team.

I think the first statement is spot on, but the second one feels a bit too specific. Let's go with option B and keep it simple.

Hmm, I was a bit confused by the second statement. Does that mean the hospitalist is like a secret agent for the health plan? Joke's on them, I'm picking option B!

Both statements seem accurate to me. The hospitalist's role is to coordinate care and support the health plan's disease management approach. Option A is the correct answer.
