Who is a Hospitalist? A Hospitalist is a
doctor who specializes in caring for patients while they are
in the hospital. Most hospitalists do not have their own
outpatient medical practice; so, they can focus all their
attention on patients inside the hospital.
Hospitalists work closely with your primary care doctor.
When you are admitted to the hospital, your doctor
communicates with the hospitalist about your condition and
transfers the management of your care. The hospitalist
communicates with your doctor as needed about the plan for
your care and how you are progressing. Upon your discharge,
the hospitalist will ensure that your medical records will
be in your primary care doctor’s hands well before your
first follow-up visit. This ensures a smooth transition of
the management of your care back to your doctor.
Hospitalists help your regular Doctor be available
to you. Because hospitalists are in the hospital
all day, your doctor can be more focused on providing care
in his or her office with fewer delays and interruptions.
Your primary doctor will be able to devote more time to
keeping you and your family healthy.
