Day, meanwhile, is happy to be in a familiar position. The 27-year-old Australian already has three wins this year, including at Whistling Straits, where he was in the lead going into the final round and closed out the tournament for his first major title.
inpatient (care/unit/ward) - is the one where a patient stays for 24h. outpatient (...) - is the one where a patient spends most of the day (e.g. 8 hours) ambulatory care - is the one where a patient visits their doctor from time to time (e.g. 1-hour appointments every Monday - definitely a case in psychiatry, don't know about other specialties)
An outpatient for that matter is treated in the hospital as a patient that has visited the hospital for consultation. On the other hand an inpatient is treated in the hospital only after admission. This is one of the main differences between outpatient and inpatient. An inpatient gets admission into the hospital upon his arrival at the premises of the hospital. He would spend a certain period of time in the hospital and is given a room to stay in the premises. He is attended to regularly by the doctors that are appointed by the hospital.
