Whats the difference between out patient and in patient?!


Question: Whats the difference between out patient and in patient!?
Answers:
Its pretty simple really, an in-patient is somebody who has been admitted to a ward to spend most of their day there, be assessed and/or treated!. This will depend on if they are there of their own free will or, if they have been sectioned, the type of section that has been placed!.

An outpatient is somebody who uses the mental health trust's services but lives at home!. It is often on a very flexible basis!. They might use the hospital's psychological therapies or come to a day centre!. Or they may just recieve letters requesting they come in to see a psychiatrist on a regular basis!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Out pateient is someone who is treated externally from the medical facility!. The patient may require treatment on a monthly basis, in this case that person is an outpatient!.

In patient is someone who has been admitted to hospital and is being treated by the hospital!.

Outpatient - Treated externally
inpatient - Treated internally till better

In Patient = treated by the hospital and stays in the hospital for the duration of treatment - usually stays in a ward or a hospital room

Out Patient = treated by a hospital doctor or specialist but stays at home - might still attend the hospital every day or nearly every day but does not have a hospital room or bed for overnight

Hope that helps
