Definitions
UMLS CUI: C1266869 A hospital is a healthcare facility that provides medical care and treatment to patients who require more advanced and specialized care than can be provided in a clinic or doctor's office. Hospitals typically have a larger staff of healthcare professionals, including doctors, nurses, and specialists, and offer a wider range of services than clinics or other outpatient facilities. Hospitals can vary in size and scope, from small community hospitals to large academic medical centers. Some hospitals may specialize in particular types of medical care, such as cancer treatment or pediatric care, while others may provide a full range of services. Hospitals may also have different departments or units, such as emergency departments, intensive care units, and surgical units, to provide specialized care to patients with different needs.
