Hospitalist Programs
Development, implementation and consulting
What is a hospitalist?
A hospitalist is a physician who specializes in caring for patients
in your hospital. Hospitalists do not have an outpatient medical
practice — their work is solely dedicated to caring for patients
in your hospital. Each member of the team is an attending physician,
BC/BE in Internal Medicine. Their work is overseen by pulmonary
critical care physicians.
What is a hospitalist program?
Hospitalist programs recognize that physicians are busy — whether
attending to patient visits or handling day-to-day oversight of
an office practice. A hospitalist program works to ease the burden
of continuous visits to the hospital, offering referring physicians
the assurance that their patients are receiving the highest level
of care
during an inpatient stay. And most importantly, when the patient
leaves the hospital, the physician is assured a smooth transition
back to the office practice.
Hospitalist program benefits
When New England Medical Care Institute implements a hospitalist
program with your department, practice or hospital, the foremost
benefit is patient care. NEMCare hospitalists are your hospitalists,
and attend to every need during a patient's hospital stay —
such as ordering tests, prescribing medications and monitoring results.
At each step of the process a hospitalist communicates with the
physician to assure the proper care of his or her patient.
Communication is ongoing, direct, and delivered
in the format of the physician's choice. Hospitalists serve as an
extension of the primary care provider. Because they communicate
so thoroughly with the referring physician, hospitalists can effectively
provide sound patient consultation, answering patient inquiries
at a moment’s notice, and serving as a present, calming voice
for the families of those who are hospitalized.
