About
Hospital Care
Hospitals
provide complete medical care, ranging from diagnostic
services, to surgery, to continuous nursing care. Some
hospitals specialize in treatment of the mentally ill, cancer
patients, or children.
Hospital-based care may be on an inpatient (overnight)
or outpatient basis.
As
hospitals work to improve efficiency, care continues to shift
from an inpatient to outpatient basis whenever
possible.
Many
hospitals have expanded into long-term and home health care
services, providing a wide range of care for the communities
they serve.
