Hospitalists in Fremont, CA
Inpatient Experts - Hospitalists Contribute to Quality 24/7
Washington Hospital has some of the most talented and qualified physicians
in the Bay Area. In the last five years, a new type of physician has joined
the team. Called hospitalists, they are highly qualified in their area
of expertise and specialize in treating patients in the hospital. Hospitalists
function as valuable partners with community physicians and are on-site
and accessible to patients and families everyday around the clock.
Hospitalists maintain on-going communication with referring physicians
to ensure the best possible and most appropriate care and to smooth the
transition when patients are discharged back to their primary physician's
care. In critical care units, some studies have shown that the presence
of Intensivists helps to reduce the frequency of complications among seriously
ill patients and can even lower death rates.
