When you require hospitalization your regular physician will
coordinate your admission with the Hospitalist team. Your Hospitalist
will ensure that all medical history is received from your physician
and that all information about your medical condition needed by your
physician is available. Your Hospitalist will also work with you and
your family to make sure you understand your treatment throughout and
even after your stay at Franklin Regional Medical Center.
Your Hospitalist will:
- Assess and treat your medical condition throughout your stay at Franklin Regional Medical Center
- Coordinate your hospital care including diagnostic tests such as x-rays, blood tests or other procedures
- Arrange specialty care including therapy or consults with other specialists
- Transition your medical care back to your physician who will resume responsibility after discharge
