How Kelsey-Seybold Hospitalists Support Your Care During a Hospital Stay

At Kelsey-Seybold Clinic, the transition from clinic to hospital care never feels abrupt. Whether you are scheduled for surgery or admitted unexpectedly, our hospitalists manage your treatment and keep your care closely connected to the doctors you know and trust.

How Hospitalists Support You During Your Stay

Kelsey-Seybold hospitalists are in-hospital physicians who specialize in caring for patients during their hospital stays. While you’re admitted, your hospitalist coordinates care with your Kelsey-Seybold primary care physician and any specialists involved in your treatment.

This approach makes sure:

• Your hospital care is informed by your complete medical history
• There is open communication between your hospitalist and your Kelsey-Seybold care team
• Your transition from hospital to home is thoughtfully managed to avoid gaps in care

With access to your shared electronic health record, hospitalists can make informed decisions quickly and work in real time with your existing care team.

What Is a Hospitalist?

Hospitalists focus exclusively on patients in the hospital. Unlike doctors who divide their time between clinics and hospitals, hospitalists are based entirely in the hospital and are available to manage your care around the clock. Even if your hospital visit wasn’t planned, our coordinated approach ensures that your hospital physicians work closely with your primary care doctor and specialists, supporting you through every phase of care.
