Overview

Hospitals are healthcare institutions that provide a wide range of medical services, including emergency care, surgery, inpatient and outpatient treatment, diagnostics, and specialized care delivered by physicians, nurses, and other health professionals. As central components of the health system, hospitals concentrate the people, equipment, and processes needed to treat acute and complex conditions, and their performance depends on factors such as staffing, infection prevention, patient safety, and the coordination of services across departments. Research within Patient Care and Services examines how hospitals function and how care within them can be improved. Reported work includes knowledge, attitudes, and practices of prescribers toward antimicrobial stewardship in hospitals, social network analysis of integrated medical services for hypertension using district hospitals as a model, infection prevention and control among healthcare workers in selected hospitals, nurse turnover in hospital settings, and the burden of conditions such as traumatic brain injury treated in specialized hospitals. These studies address quality, safety, the health workforce, and service organization. This page gathers peer-reviewed, open-access research relevant to hospitals and the delivery of hospital-based care.
