Hospitalist

A hospitalist is a physician who manages the care of hospital inpatients, coordinating diagnosis, treatment, and discharge across the patients admitted under their service. The work is fast-paced and varied — daily rounds, examinations, responding to deterioration, and orchestrating the many specialists and services a patient needs.

The role centres on real-time inpatient management and communication across the hospital team. AI assists with documentation and deterioration alerts, but physical assessment and bedside decision-making keep the work hands-on.
