When it comes to your health, trust the expertise of our dedicated team of hospitalists. CIMA hospitalists specialize in comprehensive inpatient care, ensuring that you receive the highest level of medical attention during your hospital stay.
Compassionate and knowledgeable, our hospitalists are here to guide you through every step of your journey to recovery. From the moment you are admitted to our hospital, they take the lead in managing your care, collaborating closely with nurses, specialists, and other healthcare professionals.
Hospitalists are typically internal medicine physicians, but they can also come from other medical specialties such as family medicine or pediatrics. They work closely with other healthcare professionals, including nurses, specialists, and pharmacists, to coordinate and manage the care of hospitalized patients. The responsibilities of a hospitalist include:
Admitting patients: Hospitalists admit patients from the emergency department or other referral sources, conducting initial evaluations, and making decisions regarding their care plan.
Managing inpatient care: Hospitalists oversee the medical treatment and management of patients throughout their hospital stay. They collaborate with specialists as needed, order diagnostic tests, interpret results, prescribe medications, and adjust treatment plans based on patients' progress.
Communicating with patients and families: Hospitalists communicate with patients and their families, providing updates on the patient's condition, discussing treatment options, and addressing any concerns or questions.
Coordinating transitions of care: Hospitalists play a crucial role in facilitating smooth transitions of care between the hospital and other healthcare settings. They ensure that patients receive appropriate follow-up care, arrange consultations with specialists, and provide information to the patient's primary care physician.
Quality improvement and patient safety: Hospitalists actively participate in quality improvement initiatives within the hospital, working to enhance patient outcomes, reduce medical errors, and improve the overall quality of care.
