Inpatient care is care given to a patient admitted to a hospital, extended care facility, nursing home or other facility. Long term care is the range of services typically provided at skilled nursing, intermediate-care, personal care or eldercare facilities.
Inpatient: A patient is admitted to a room for an overnight stay or for numerous days with continuous general nursing services in an area of an acute care facility. Examples of treatment areas for admission: ICU, Labor and Delivery, Cardiology Units or General Medicine Units. Outpatient: A patient receives a diagnosis and/or treatment at a hospital, but does not stay overnight. Examples of treatment in this environment (also known as ambulatory care): emergency department, clinic, radiology (for x-rays), laboratory (for laboratory tests), or respiratory therapy (for pulmonary function testing).
