4 Benefits to Hospital Care

If you develop a severe illness or suffer an injury that requires hospitalization, hospital care provides a quick, convenient way to avoid the emergency room and receive the treatment you need to feel better. 

At Ample Health in Carmichael, California, our team of board-certified internist Dheeraj Kamra, MD; Mythli Nagaraj, MD; Alice Phillips, FNP; and Yelena Popova, PA, provide personalized hospital care to people 20 and older. 

Here, we explain what hospital care is and highlight four of its primary benefits.

What is hospital care?

Hospital care is an umbrella term for the services you receive during a hospital stay for surgery, illness, or injury. 

Our Ample Health team holds privileges at several area hospitals. If you’re hospitalized for a sickness, injury, or surgical operation, we can coordinate a care plan with the hospital staff, assess your health during your stay, and monitor any treatments you need. 

Hospital care supports a quicker, more effective recovery. It can also save you time. Since we hold admitting privileges, we can help you avoid delays you might face visiting the emergency room on your own.  

Hospital care benefits

Hospital care provides several benefits for you and your family, including:

Specialized care

The hospitals we partner with have specialized equipment and highly experienced staff. This means you can receive comprehensive care for complex medical conditions without visiting multiple locations. 

And our hospital team specializes in geriatric care for people 65 and older. If you are hospitalized for a fall or due to sudden severe symptoms of a chronic illness, you can feel confident we’ll provide everything you need to heal quickly.

A complete understanding of your health history

Hospitalization is a stressful experience. After a patient is admitted, they’re often forced to work with a medical team that’s unfamiliar with their situation and personal health history. 

Because we offer personalized hospital care, you have direct access to your Ample Health provider upon admission. We work one-on-one with the hospital staff, ensuring all your needs are met.

Easier decision-making

When you’re hospitalized for an injury, severe illness, or surgery, you have to make some decisions. Making all these choices on your own can be overwhelming and exhausting. 

Hospital care takes some of this burden off you and your family. We take over all interactions with the hospital staff, so you can focus on what matters most — healing.

Post-discharge health maintenance

After the hospital discharges you, routine checkups are crucial. If you don’t take steps to continue the healing process, you could become sick or injured again, and be readmitted. 

Our personalized hospital care program incorporates regular monitoring and treatment to support your recovery. We can conduct these checkups in person or via telehealth.
