Patients need care 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Hospitalists are on staff at all times to see patients when they need them. Generally, a team leader works in three- to four-day rotations, sometimes longer. In addition to physicians and medical providers, the hospitalist service team also includes your nurse, social worker and pharmacist. A case manager, assigned specifically to you and your family, guides the discharge plan from the moment of your admission.
All team members will get to know you as your healing process unfolds. Team members collaborate with you and your family and welcome your questions.
Often, and particularly in a short stay at Mary Lanning Healthcare, you will see only a single hospitalist. If your stay extends to several days, one or more of the Mary Lanning hospitalist healthcare providers may care for you.
Your primary healthcare provider is welcome to see you during your stay. The hospitalist healthcare providers at Mary Lanning will discuss your care with your primary provider at regular intervals and in the event of a significant change in your condition. A summary of your hospital stay will be sent directly to your primary provider.
Thank you for the privilege of serving you during your stay at Mary Lanning Healthcare!
