Inpatient care refers to medical treatment provided to patients who are admitted to a hospital or healthcare facility for at least one night. This type of care is necessary for individuals who require close monitoring, specialized treatments, or surgical procedures that cannot be performed on an outpatient basis.
During their stay, patients receive round-the-clock attention from a team of healthcare professionals, including doctors, nurses, and support staff. The goal of inpatient care is to ensure that patients receive comprehensive treatment and support until they are stable enough to be discharged back to their homes or transferred to another level of care.
