| 词条 | Medical observation |
| 释义 |
A patient held for observation is not admitted to the hospital, though there are certain similarities: patients will be checked in, pertinent information from the patient or their representative can be taken, and nurse(s) and doctor(s) from the given department may visit and a physical exam and personal and family history, and basic blood and imaging tests be conducted, and a bracelet for the observation period be given to the patient. However, they are not admitted formally to the hospital, they are not assigned a bed on the hospital's patient floors outside of the ER or the department they arrived in, and they are not assigned an attending provider or to a group of nurses and aides. In the United States, some Medicare patients have spent several days at the hospital, but never officially being in the hospital, which results in unexpected bills and makes them ineligible for Medicare payment for some future necessary services, especially skilled nursing care.[3] See also
