Hospitalist Program

Overview

Our doctors are there for the patient from the time of admission until discharge. The Elliot hospitalists manage your care, coordinating and consulting with specialists, monitoring your progress, and staying in close touch with you, your family and your primary care physician.

When you are admitted to the hospital, your primary care doctor updates the hospitalist on your condition and your medical history. The hospitalist then takes over the care while you are here in the hospital. Our doctors will update your primary care physician of significant events during your stay and coordinate a smooth transition of your care upon discharge. They provide your physician with a discharge summary that outlines the care you received here, results of tests and any medications that you are prescribed. If you do not have a primary care doctor, we would be happy to help make arrangements for a follow up with a new doctor after discharge.
