Inpatient status is what we typically think of as someone being admitted to the hospital. Observation status is a type of outpatient status. However, someone in hospital observation status can spend several days and nights actually inside the hospital, even though he's technically an outpatient.
Observation status and transfers of care A hospitalist sees a patient admitted to observation for two days, but then decides to admit the patient to inpatient status. The hospitalist references the history and physical exam from his note for the initial observation visit to support billing initial hospital care. Is this OK?
