All About Hospitalists and Why Companies Are Outsourcing Them by:John Ugoshowa

Today, there are organizations and companies that provide hospitalist physicians in hospitals all over the world in a contractual basis

. This is because they are able to provide service to primary healthcare physicians who are regulars in the hospital's medical staff. This means that they will be responsible for outpatient and emergency room care patients if a member of the medical staff doesn't want the responsibility.

Another benefit that the hospital can take advantage of if they hire Hospitalists is that they will be able to move patients to the recovery process faster. Hospitals will now be able to do this without sacrificing the quality of hospital care. This means that it will eventually ease the frequent needs of the hospital on holding patients in the emergency department and also on the admission.

Hospitalist programs can eventually benefit the physicians, the hospital and the patient:

For physicians, it will enable regular healthcare physicians to concentrate in their medical practice. This will also allow them to improve their skills and it will also enable them to use their time more efficiently. The hospitalist system will eventually eliminate or at least decrease the on-call responsibility of primary healthcare physicians on patients who are not yet assigned to a physician, and it will also have reimbursement advantages.

Hospitals will also benefit from hospitalist programs. This is because it actually reduces the patient's length of stay and the hospital costs to about 15%. This program will also decrease the number of admissions that are inappropriate and the number of days denied for managed care companies. A hospitalist program also provides satisfaction rating for the patient and the family and it also improves relationship between the physician and the patient.

For patients, studies have found that after being taken care of hospitalists, patients also prefers the hospitalist concept rather than wanting their own doctor to take care of them during their stay at the hospital. The hospitalist is always in the hospital and is readily available for the patient's needs. They will be able to answer questions from both the families and the patients.

Think of hospitalists as outsourced physicians by a company. Hospitals now hire outsourced hospitalists in order to improve the quality of hospital care and to satisfy their in-house medical staff and also their patient. Having hospitalists in a hospital will ensure round-the-clock quality care for patient and at the same time, reduce the cost that a hospital may spend for patients.

They will be the ones who will admit, and take care of the patient on the duration of time they are admitted in the hospital. With hospitalists, you will never again wait for your doctor to take care of you. Care will always be there 24 hours a day and 7 days a week.
