Your Pillars To Better Health / inpatient
IN PATIENT
Inpatient care refers to medical treatment provided to patients who are admitted to a hospital or healthcare facility and stay overnight or for an extended period. It involves continuous medical monitoring and care for serious conditions that cannot be treated on an outpatient basis.
- Hospital Admission: Patients are admitted to a hospital for observation, surgery, or treatment of severe or complex medical conditions.
- Comprehensive Monitoring: Round-the-clock monitoring by healthcare professionals, including doctors, nurses, and specialists.
- Surgical Procedures: Pre- and post-operative care for major surgeries.
- Acute Illness Management: Treatment for conditions like heart attacks, pneumonia, or strokes.
- Chronic Disease Management: Intensive care for long-term conditions like diabetes, cancer, or kidney failure.
- Facilities and Services: Inpatient care typically involves access to specialized equipment, imaging tests, and therapies that require close supervision.
- Discharge Process: After treatment, patients are discharged when their condition stabilizes, often with follow-up instructions for recovery or outpatient care.
Inpatient care is essential for patients requiring intensive medical support or those recovering from significant health events.
