About Hospital Medicine
Hospital medicine (hospitalist care) manages adults admitted to hospital with acute or serious illness, coordinating tests, treatment and specialists, and planning a safe discharge.
When you are admitted, ask who is in charge of your care, and make sure you understand your medicines and follow-up before leaving the hospital.
