If you have a medical condition that requires treatment but doesn’t require 24-hour monitoring, you may be a candidate for outpatient care. With this type of hospitalisation, you receive the same level of care as you would if you were an inpatient, but you don’t stay overnight. Outpatient care is often less expensive than inpatient care because you’re not paying for a hotel room and other amenities. However, it’s important to make sure that the facility you choose offers the level of care that you need.
Some factors to consider when determining if outpatient care is right for you include:
The severity of your condition
Your overall health
Your ability to follow instructions and medication schedules
Whether or not you have support at home
