Hospitalists work full-time caring for sick, hospitalized patients. The
hospitalist staff is located within the hospital, and they strive to improve
the quality, efficiency, and promptness of care. The goal of the Hospitalist
Service is to achieve the best care for patients at Memorial Hospital.
Hospitalists admit patients from local and regional primary care providers
and specialists. Patients who have no primary care doctor are also cared
for by the hospitalists. The hospitalist team consults with and assists
other providers to help manage their patients, providing integrated medical
support in every clinical department of the hospital.
What Can a Hospitalist Help Me With?
Our hospitalists can help you with both medical and administrative issues.
Most hospitalists receive several years of internal medicine training
and some receive specialty fellowships in pulmonary and critical care.
Hospitalists are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Anytime you need
to talk to someone about your care, a hospitalist will be on-hand to answer
your questions. They are also familiar with the many medical specialists
working in the hospital and can coordinate your care with them to ensure
you are getting the best treatment possible.
