If you find yourself in the hospital, chances are you are going to be seen by a doctor you’ve never met. That doctor is a Hospitalist – readily available to treat acute care patients. The American Board of Physician Specialists defines Hospitalists as, “…physicians who have dedicated their careers to hospitalized patients.” Simply put, Hospitalists are medical specialists who most often earn a residency in internal, family or pediatric medicine to provide care for adults and children. They encompass diverse skill sets and are specialized in taking care of patients in a hospital setting. “A Hospitalist is somebody who provides comprehensive care and addresses medical needs for whoever walks into the hospital. From headache to heartache a Hospitalist is skilled to provide general medical care,” says Dr. Tooba Anum, Hospitalist with Chatham Hospitalists, who sees patients at St. Joseph’s Hospital. “We are the basic driver of clinical care, and when deemed necessary, we incorporate multi-disciplinary approach by consulting specialists.” The trend of Hospitalists started about 25 years ago. St. Joseph’s/Candler contracts with Chatham Hospitalists, LLC, which formed in 2005 in Savannah. Currently, there are approximately 30 Hospitalists between St. Joseph’s Hospital and Candler Hospital that are staffed around the clock to care for patients. There are also hospital-dedicated nurse practitioners that see patients. More at https://lnkd.in/eaiYjSgb #hospitalist #hospitalists #healthcare #hospitals #medicalcare

Dear Caregivers, Families, and Colleagues, As a longstanding mobile medical service on The Treasure Coast, Quality Care Medicine is committed to "Keeping Patients Healthy." Our primary aim is to prevent unnecessary hospitalizations and emergency room visits. One common issue we encounter is patients arriving at the ER without proper paperwork, leaving ER physicians with little choice but to admit them. Often, the lack of family contacts or past medical history exacerbates this problem, leading to avoidable admissions. Having witnessed this "revolving door effect" firsthand across various Assisted Living Facilities (ALFs), it's clear that patients benefit greatly from regular medical care within these settings. Unlike nursing homes, ALFs have limited access to medications and services, making timely interventions challenging when visiting providers are absent. While medical assistants and med techs play vital roles, they lack the expertise to evaluate patients' medical needs, often resulting in unnecessary ER transfers. Providers who actively manage patients within ALFs have a distinct advantage in keeping their patients healthier and avoiding hospital admissions. Let's work together to ensure patients lead healthier, more productive lives by minimizing unnecessary ER visits and hospitalizations.
