Our hospitalist program provides comprehensive, in-house patient care, 24/7. The hospitalist program offers many benefits to patients and their families:
-
The hospitalist is never more than a few minutes away, especially helpful in case of an emergency. They can follow up on medical tests quickly and adjust treatment regimens throughout the day.
- By overseeing the care of hospital patients, hospitalists help primary care doctors be more available to their patients in the office setting.
- Hospitalists are available to answer patient and family questions in person during stressful and critical moments.
- Patients see their regular doctor after hospitalization for continued care.
Hospitalists specialize in hospital inpatient medicine, either as attending doctors or as consultants to other specialists.
- Your doctor may request the services of a hospitalist to care for you while you are in the hospital.
- Although they may entrust your care to a hospitalist, they remain available for consultation and is kept informed of your admission, discharge and any change in you during your hospital stay.
- After discharge from the hospital, you will be seen by your regular doctor.
