Hospital
Inpatient care is the care of patients whose condition requires admission to a hospital, they are extremely ill or have severe physical trauma. Inpatient care refers to medical treatment that is provided in a hospital or other facility and requires overnight stay. Inpatients stay in a hospital overnight or for a longer period of time as the care plan requires.
A hospital is a health care institution providing patient treatment with specialized medical and nursing staff and medical equipment. Hospitals are classified as general, specialty, or government depending on the sources of income received. Hospitals are usually funded by the public sector, health organizations (for profit or nonprofit), health insurance companies, or charities. A hospital may be a single building or a number of buildings on a campus. Some hospitals are affiliated with universities for medical research and the training of medical personnel such as physicians and nurses.
The best-known type of hospital is a general hospital, also known as an acute-care hospital, which typically has an emergency department (accident & emergency department) or trauma center to deal with immediate and urgent threats to person’s health. Some hospitals, especially in the U. S. and Canada, have their own ambulance service.
A district hospital typically is the major health care facility in the region, with large numbers of beds for intensive care, critical care, and long-term care. They are a particularly important provider of healthcare to uninsured patients and patients with low-income.
Specialized hospitals include trauma centers, rehabilitation hospitals, children’s hospitals, seniors' (geriatric) hospitals, long-term acute care facilities, and hospitals for dealing with specific medical needs such as psychiatric treatment (psychiatric hospital) and certain disease categories. Specialized hospitals can help to reduce health care costs compared to general hospitals.
A teaching hospital combines assistance to people with teaching to medical students and nurses and often is linked to a medical school, nursing school or university.
Hospitals have a range of departments and specialist units. Departments are traditionally called ‘ wards ’, especially when they have beds for inpatients, when they are sometimes also called ‘ inpatient wards ’. Hospitals may have acute services such as an emergency department or specialist trauma center, burn unit, surgery, or urgent care. These may then be backed up by more specialist units such as Accident and Emergency (A&E) department (Casualty), Anaesthetics department, Critical care department (intensive care unit), Cardiology department, Diagnostic imaging department (X-ray department), Elderly services department, General surgery department, Renal unit, OB\GYN units, Neurology department, Chaplaincy department, Discharge lounge department, and others. Some hospitals have outpatient departments (the part of a hospital designed for the treatment of outpatients, people with health problems who visit the hospital for diagnosis or treatment, but do not at this time require a bed or to be admitted for overnight care) and some have chronic treatment units. Common support units include a pharmacy, pathology (microbiology department), and radiologydepartmens. In addition, there is the department of nursing, often headed by a chief nursing officer or director of nursing. This department is responsible for the administration of professional nursing practice, research, and policy for the hospital. These hospital departments are largely staffed by professional physicians (hospitalists), surgeons, nurses, and allied health practitioners.

Patient’s admission to the inpatient department is mainly done through referrals from a family doctor (GP), or through emergency medicine department. The patient formally becomes an "inpatient" at the writing of an admission note. An admission note is part of a medical record that documents the patient's status (including history and physical examination findings), reasons why the patient is being admitted for inpatient care to a hospital or other facility, and the initial instructions for that patient's care. Health care professionals use them to record a patient's baseline status and may write additional notes.
If a patient has been referred to the inpatient department for inpatient treatment, an admission date has to be arranged by contacting the Patient Information Center. On the day of admission, a patient brings the referral letter from the GP or local specialist, as well as the letter confirming that the health insurance provider will cover the costs of the treatment, and relevant documentation, including any previous test results. Once the necessary formalities have been completed, a nurse provides a person with an initial consultation explaining the processes and what to expect. Then a person is examined by one of the physicians, who will also discuss the details of any planned diagnostic and therapeutic measures. Some of them may require fasting. The hospital can provide robes, gowns, and slippers and a kit with toothbrush, toothpaste, tissues and other small items. For patient’s safety and care, a patient identification band (an identity bracelet) is placed around patient’s wrist. This band should not be removed until a person is discharged from the hospital. To protect patients, themselves and other patients from the possible spread of infection, the staff may wear gowns, gloves or masks at times.
While staying in the hospital, the patient is involved in all decisions about the treatment. The hospital should have a liaison psychiatry service, also known as a psychological medicine service, aiming to bridge the gap between physical and mental healthcare. For some procedures, including operations, the patient will be asked to sign a consent form. It's up to the patient whether to give the consent for a treatment or not.
Health care professionals involved in rehabilitation are often involved in discharge planning for patients. When considering patient’s discharge, the following factors are taken into consideration: the patient's current state, their place of residence and the type of support available. Follow-up appointments have been coordinated before the patient is discharged from the hospital to monitor the patient's progress as well as any potential complications that may arise. A discharge report (discharge note) will then be issued, which the patient should forward to the physician.
