Types of hospitalization
Depending on your medical needs and the estimated duration of care, we offer two main types of hospitalization:
- Continuous hospitalization: for conditions requiring medical care for more than 24 hours. This includes both acute and chronic care.
- Day hospitalization: for investigations, treatment or monitoring that can be completed within a maximum of 12 hours.
General criteria for admission as a continuous hospitalization:
The decision for continued hospitalization is taken taking into account the following cumulative factors:
- Severity of signs and symptoms: the intensity of the patient's clinical manifestations.
- Predictability of adverse outcome: the risk that the patient's condition will worsen without continued medical intervention.
- Availability of diagnostic investigations: the possibility to quickly perform the necessary tests and investigations.
- Resource depletion in other areas: when diagnosis and treatment cannot be achieved efficiently in outpatient or other forms of care.
General criteria for admission to day hospitalization
Day hospitalization is indicated in the following situations:
- Medical and surgical emergencies: situations requiring medical supervision of up to 12 hours.
- Inability to follow up on an outpatient basis: when the diagnosis and/or treatment requires closer medical supervision than can be provided outside hospital.
- Complex services: diagnostic or therapeutic procedures that are multi-specialized, multidisciplinary, invasive or may generate adverse reactions requiring immediate medical follow-up.
