Inpatient services benefit a hospital the most.
Under the right conditions, yes, a hospital can keep you from seeing a patient. If the patient is contagious, is undergoing surgery, or is in ICU (which is the most probable reason), a hospital can keep you from seeing a patient.
Hospital confinement is preventing a patient from leaving the hospital.
The length of time the patient needs to remain in the hospital depends on the age of the patient and the patient's general health.
It depends on the hospital and where in what department the patient is. On a regular medicine or surgery floor, it is usually take every 4-6 hours, but in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) it is constantly being monitored; the patient always wears a blood pressure cuff.
The hospital can request patient to sign to go to hospice, but can NOT make the patient sign to go to hospice.
how many national patient safety goals to hospital setting
I don't think it is a common practice but it could be warranted. A patient being treated for example for an infection on a hospital floor could have a heart attack totally unrelated to the infection. If a qualified Dr. was not available on that floor or even poosble no Dr. available on that floor, it would certainly make sense to take the patient to the location where the Dr's and equipment were readily available to treat emergency conditions.
if the patient has a companion, the companion may help him/her to get to the hospital. if it is a big wound, he/she can just get herself/himself to the hospital and just 'tiis' its pain
I don't see why not!
