Spotlight on the Hospitalist Program at Columbus Regional Health
When a patient is admitted to the hospital, they are often cared for by a hospitalist.

Hospitalists are in contact with the patient’s PCP and document all details of the patient’s stay in the patient’s electronic medical record for the PCP to see.
