Frequently Asked Questions
Learn more about what hospitalists do and how they support your care during your hospital stay.
A hospitalist is a doctor who cares for you only while you are in the hospital. At Exeter Hospital, our hospitalists:
- Visit patients daily and manage treatment plans
- Communicate with patients and families
- Coordinate care with surgeons, specialists, and nurses
- Keep your primary care provider informed about your hospital stay
Because they are in the hospital full time, hospitalists can review test results quickly, respond to emergencies right away, and adjust your care as needed.
Your hospitalist keeps your primary care provider (PCP) updated about your condition and treatment. When you leave the hospital, your PCP receives a full summary of your care, test results, and medications to ensure a smooth transition home.
Your medication list helps hospitalists keep you safe. You can help by:
- Bringing an updated list that includes name, dose, and reason for each medicine
- Keeping medicines in their original labeled containers
- Not taking your own medicines unless told by the hospitalist or nurse
