Department Overview

The Hospitalist APP provides assessments and creates a medical plan of care for hospitalized patients on admission, daily, and upon discharge. The APP performs these tasks independently and in collaboration with the physician hospitalist. The APP will collect and synthesize data from historical information, diagnostic tests, therapeutic interventions, and physical examination to determine diagnosis and appropriate intervention consistent with their scope of practice, experience, board certification, and organizational professional staff policy. The hospitalist APP works closely with hospital sub-specialists, surgical staff, nursing staff and social workers as part of creating a comprehensive treatment plan for patients and their families during their hospital stay.
