Description

When you are ready for discharge, a summary of the discharge instructions will be sent via fax to your primary care physician. This instant communication provides your primary care physician with discharge diagnosis, current medications and a summary of your hospital stay. A complete hospital report will be sent to your primary care physician as soon as possible. If you do not have a primary care physician, the hospitalists and their staff will refer you to a local physician for follow-up care.

Central to the mission of Longstreet Inpatient Medicine is ongoing communication with the referring primary care physician and the assurance that you are returned to the care of your primary care physician after your hospital stay. Our doctors provide information to your primary care physician regarding your health status, ongoing care and follow-up after discharge.

Your primary care physician has selected a special team of dedicated physicians to coordinate your care while you are a patient in the hospital. A Longstreet Inpatient Medicine doctor is on-call 24 hours a day to provide care for you with fast response to labs, tests and emergent situations. Should you have a need to contact one of our physicians while hospitalized, please speak with your nurse who will notify the physician providing your care.

The physicians of Longstreet Inpatient Medicine care solely for hospitalized patients, managing the care of patients admitted by and for community physicians. They do not have a practice outside the hospital nor do they provide care after discharge. After release from the hospital, your ongoing and follow-up care will be returned to your primary care physician. You should contact your primary care physician for questions related to your care after discharge.
