There are two commonly used definitions of a community hospital, one focusing on primary care and the other on acute care. Modern community hospitals are likely to be a meeting point bridging acute and primary care.

Professor Lewis Ritchie defines a community hospital in the following way: "A local hospital, unit or centre providing an appropriate range and format of accessible health care facilities and resources designed to meet the needs of local people. These will typically include inpatient beds, out-patient clinics, diagnostic facilities, day care, minor injuries service and other extended primary care and intermediate care services. Medical care is predominantly provided by GPs working with consultant medical colleagues. Staff work in multi-disciplinary and multi-agency teams to provide services including rehabilitation, acute medical care, palliative and terminal care, step-down care and respite care."

Why are you taking chemistry?

"Chemistry" is a hard word to define. Some chemistry textbook covers show pictures

of bubbling flasks, suggesting that chemistry can be defined as "the study of how we

can make things behave if we mess with it in the laboratory." Other chemistry books

have pictures of huge molecules on the cover, suggesting that chemistry is defined as

"the study of how we can cram atoms together to make big complicated structures."

I've even seen a textbook cover that featured a multicolored squiggle. I have no idea

what that says about the study of chemistry.

It seems to me that if we put these two definitions of chemistry together, we get a

reasonable idea of what the subject actually entails. Chemistry can be defined as using

our knowledge of how matter is put together and how it interacts with other matter

to solve confusing problems.

Why do hospital pharmacies repackage and unit-dose medications?

Patients in bed take a single dose of medicine. They do not take a whole bottle. The meds are placed in small containers, frequently cups, for each patient. The meds (medications) nurse comes around with the meds cart and gives each patient his or her appropriate meds at the appropriate time of day.

If the medicine were left in a big bottle in the room, some confused patients might take the entire bottle. In one case, the meds nurse left the meds on the bed table and another patient walked into the room and took the drugs. That was a mess! The meds nurse must watch to see that the appropriate patient takes the right drugs!
