Hospital Medicine
- What is Hospital Medicine?
-
Hospital Medicine, the care of hospitalized patients, is a specialty that has revolutionized inpatient care to the betterment of patients, the medical community and hospitals.
- What is a hospitalist?
-
The hospitalist is a physician who specializes in providing care for the hospitalized patient. The hospitalist is often an internal medicine specialist, and some are also trained in subspecialties like critical care or geriatrics.
- How do patients benefit from a hospitalist's care?
-
The hospitalized patient benefits from the care of a team of inpatient specialists. The hospitalist team provides 24-hour inpatient care and is available in a crisis; the team follows up regularly during the day, and is often able to safely discharge their patients sooner. The hospitalist team model addresses the increasing complexity of caring for the hospitalized patient as well as the growing demands on community physicians.
