Hospitals are institutions that provide comprehensive medical care, combining diagnostic, therapeutic, surgical, and supportive services delivered by multidisciplinary clinical teams. They span primary referral facilities to tertiary specialized centers and serve as the principal sites for acute, emergency, and complex inpatient care, as well as hubs for training, infection prevention, and quality improvement. Research on hospitals addresses the organization and quality of care, patient safety, infection prevention and control, antimicrobial stewardship, workforce knowledge and practice, and the management of specific clinical populations, often with attention to resource-limited and regionally specific settings. Recurring themes include healthcare-worker knowledge, attitudes, and practices, hand hygiene and infection control, integrated service models for chronic disease, staff retention, and the management of outbreaks and emerging infections. The peer-reviewed studies indexed under this topic examine antimicrobial stewardship in hospitals, social-network analysis of integrated hypertension services, infection-prevention practices among healthcare workers, registered-nurse turnover, preventive practice toward COVID-19 among hospitalized patients, traumatic brain injury management in referral hospitals, burnout among hospital staff, treatment effects in hospitalized COVID-19 patients, and hand-hygiene knowledge and practice. Together they reflect investigation of hospitals as systems of care, spanning service quality, infection control, workforce, and the clinical management of diverse conditions across varied health systems and settings.
