Hospitalist Program

When you are admitted to Matagorda Regional Medical Center, your primary care physician may have asked a special group of physicians, called Hospitalists, to care for you.

医院医生可以照顾那些决定只从事门诊治疗的当地医生的病人, patients with out-of-town physicians, 没有固定的初级保健医生的病人或在马塔戈达地区医疗中心没有住院特权的医生.

住院医师是专门为住院病人提供星际线上娱乐的医生. They are trained in Family Practice, General Medicine, Geriatrics and Internal Medicine, 看那些从社区初级保健医生那里转来的住院病人, emergency room physicians, or other physicians at the hospital. The hospitalist manages your course of care through the hospital, closely monitoring your progress and staying in close touch with you, your family and your primary care physician.

如果您的初级保健医生要求住院医师在您住院期间负责您的护理, 您的住院医师团队将使您的初级保健医生在办公室更容易为您服务, 并且可以让你在住院期间由一名专门从事住院医学的医生为你看病. You will see your regular physician soon after discharge from the hospital.

How does the Hospitalist program work?

Because they practice solely at Matagorda Regional Medical Center, your Hospitalist is never more than a few minutes away. 住院医师将负责您的护理，并每天与您见面指导治疗. 您可能会在一天中看到不止一次，以跟踪测试结果并根据需要调整您的治疗方案. 住院医师也可以咨询其他专科医师参与您的护理. 当你出院时，住院医生会给你开一些你可能需要的处方. 您将被告知与您的初级保健医生的后续预约, or other physicians, at discharge.

住院医师将确保在您第一次随访之前，您的医院记录将在您的初级保健医生手中. Since hospitalists do not have an outpatient practice, 出院后你不会再和医院医生预约了. 出院后，您的住院医生可通过医院接线员与您和您的家人联系, until your first follow-up appointment with your physician. 出院后如对住院有任何疑问，可与住院医师联系. The Hospitalist will bill your insurance company for their services. 如果有的话，他们会向你收取服务费用(免赔额和共付额).

How does the Hospitalist know about me?

Hospitalists talk to primary care physicians frequently. At the time of your admission to the hospital, 你的初级保健医生或急诊室医生打电话给住院医师，告诉他们你的病情, and sends records to provide information about your illness. 这个过程类似于你的医生将你转介给专科医生进行其他意见或额外的检查或治疗. During the course of your hospitalization, 你的住院医生和初级保健医生可能会进一步讨论你的治疗. At discharge, 您的住院医师将与您的初级保健医生沟通，讨论您的进一步治疗需求并安排随访. 您的医院记录将自动发送给您的初级保健医生.

What if I don’t have a regular primary care physician?

The Matagorda Regional Medical Center Hospitalists, or other staff at the hospital, can assist in finding a physician for you to see after leaving the hospital. 星际线上娱乐会向您提供一份完整的本地在职医生/执业医师名单，以便您选择您所选择的医生. Records from your hospital stay can be sent to this physician.

How do I contact my Hospitalist?

An important benefit of the Hospitalist service is increased availability. 你的住院医生会亲自向你和你的家人解释并作出回应. During critical and stressful moments, your Hospitalist will be there to provide timely, honest, and considerate answers to all questions. 如果您想在您或您的家人住院期间与医院医师交谈, simply ask the nurse caring for you to page the Hospitalist.
