The factors must be documented in the medical record. If an unforeseen event, such as a patient's death or transfer, results in a shorter stay, the patient may be considered to be treated as an inpatient. An inpatient admission for a surgical procedure listed by Medicare as "inpatient only" is generally appropriate, regardless of the length of stay. An inpatient admission may be appropriate if the admitting physician expects a patient to require hospital care for only a limited period of time. The decision to admit as an inpatient must be based on the clinical judgment of the physician and must be supported by the medical record.
