Your primary care doctor has partnered with Campbell County Health's team
of hospital physicians, called hospitalists, who will direct your medical
needs while in Campbell County Memorial Hospital (CCMH).
The CCH hospitalist program was created in 2008 to provide patients with immediate, round-the-clock access to a healthcare provider who works exclusively in the hospital. The hospitalist is a physician, usually specializing in Intenal Medicine. Instead of specializing in caring for a specific disease such as a cardiologist or oncologist does, a hospitalist is trained to take care of you during your entire hospital stay. Hospitalists work closely with other key people in the hospital, such as nurses, pharmacists, discharge planners and clergy.
Patients at CCMH are seen daily by the hospitalist, who will order all tests, consult with specialists if needed, prescribe medicine, communicate with nurses and therapists and monitor care. The hospitalist ensures that important information about the patient's condition is relayed to the primary care doctor. When the patient is discharged, the hospitalist will visit with the primary care doctor, who provides any follow-up care.
