TCH Hospitalist Program
Hospitalists are physicians just like your primary care physician. The only difference is their office is the hospital where they are available around the clock to assist in all aspects of patient care. In tune with the needs of patients and their families, hospitalists are experts in hospital processes, while providing a personalized approach to care. Throughout their hospital stay, patients can expect open and frequent communication with their hospitalist physician and a close partnership with the patient’s primary care physician.
With a hospitalist program in place, Transylvania Community Hospital can provide the most secure and individualized care possible, while promoting an environment of teamwork among its hospital staff.
Why our Hospitalists make us better
Hospitalist programs were developed 25 years ago and are now the fastest growing addition to hospitals throughout the nation. While hospitals with hospitalists benefit greatly from the addition of the program, the patients benefit even more.
Hospitalists provide a very special service to hospital patients - hospital expertise. While everyone at the hospital works as a team to provide the best care for patients and their families, hospitalists are versed in all aspects of hospital care and operation, allowing them to provide patients with extensive knowledge and guidance throughout their stay.
Because they only work within the hospital, hospitalists can provide around the clock coordination of care for their patients, ensuring personalized monitoring and administration.
Patients whose primary care physician has decided to partner with the hospitalist physicians will participate in the hospitalist program. If you are interested in speaking to us directly about the program and finding out more information, please contact us at (828) 883-5383.
We think you will find that the Transylvania Community Hospital hospitalist program is an advanced and exceptional approach to patient care that will add innovation to the already exemplary care available right here at home.
