What if I’m admitted to the hospital?

Hospitals in the greater Boston area use teams of “hospitalists” to take care of patients who get admitted to the hospital. These are specialists who are experts on hospital medicine.

Although I do rely on the hospitalists to take care of you if you are admitted to the hospital, I will be in communication with them, and you, to make sure they have the information needed for your care, that I am included “in the loop,” and to help facilitate your discharge and follow-up care.
