A court date can not be set until a Complaint is filed. In federal court the Answer (defendant's response) must be filed within 20 days of receiving the complaint according to the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. This time will vary depending on the state for state court. If the answer is not filed within the specified time, a default judgment will be rendered, meaning all statements in the Complaint are assumed true.

What if you are in the hospital when court date is set?

Well, obviously you aren't going to be able to make it. So just explain the circumstances to the person you were going to date, and hopefully they will understand. However, i believe you meant a court order date. You will need to notify the court, and later provide documentation of your stay. Tell someone at the hospital. They have all kinds of experts, some of them legal.
