HOSPITAL DEPARTEMENT

A hospital is a health care institution providing patient treatment with


specialized medical and nursing staff and medical equipment. The best-known type of
hospital is the general hospital, which typically has an emergency department to treat
urgent health problems ranging from fire and accident victims to a sudden illness. A
district hospital typically is the major health care facility in its region, with many beds
for intensive care and additional beds for patients who need long-term care.
Specialized hospitals include trauma centers, rehabilitation hospitals, children's
hospitals, seniors' (geriatric) hospitals, and hospitals for dealing with specific medical
needs such as psychiatric treatment (see psychiatric hospital) and certain disease
categories. Specialized hospitals can help reduce health care costs compared to
general hospitals. Hospitals are classified as general, specialty, or government
depending on the sources of income received.
A teaching hospital combines assistance to people with teaching to medical
students and nurses. A medical facility smaller than a hospital is generally called a
clinic. Hospitals have a range of departments (e.g. surgery and urgent care) and
specialist units such as cardiology. Some hospitals have outpatient departments and
some have chronic treatment units. Common support units include a pharmacy,
pathology, and radiology.
Definitions and descriptions of the most common hospital departments and the
services provided by each section. Common hospital support units include a
dispensary or pharmacy, pathology, and radiology, and on the non-medical side, there
often are medical records departments and/or a release of information department.
Hospitals may have acute services such as an emergency department or specialist
trauma center, burn unit, surgery, or urgent care.
Hospitals vary widely in the services they offer and therefore, in the
departments they have. Hospitals may have acute services such as an emergency
department or specialist trauma center, burn unit, surgery, or urgent care. These may
then be backed up by more specialist units such as cardiology or coronary care unit,
intensive care unit, neurology, cancer center, and obstetrics and gynecology.
Some hospitals will also have outpatient departments and whilst others may
have chronic treatment units such as behavioral health services, dentistry,
dermatology, psychiatric ward, rehabilitation services (Rehab), and physical therapy.
Common hospital support units include a dispensary or pharmacy, pathology, and
radiology, and on the non-medical side, there often are medical records departments
and/or a release of information department. Nursing services are considered one of the
most important aspects in the process of distinguished medical care.

 Types of Hospitals
1. General Hospital
Public hospitals are usually facilities that are easily found in a country, with
very large inpatient capacity for intensive or long-term care. This type of hospital is
also equipped with surgical facilities, plastic surgery, delivery rooms, laboratories,
and so on. However, the completeness of these facilities may vary according to the
capabilities of the organizers.nVery large hospitals are often called Medical Centers
(health centers), usually serving all modern medicine. Most hospitals in Indonesia
also provide health services without overnight stays (outpatients) for the general
public (clinics). Usually there are several clinics / polyclinics in a hospital.
2. Specialized Hospital
A specialist hospital in Johor, Malaysia. This type includes trauma centers,
children's hospitals, seniors' hospitals, or hospitals that serve special interests such as
(mental hospitals), special disease hospitals such as respiratory or cancer, and others.
Hospitals can consist of a combination or only one building.
3. Teaching hospital
A research/education hospital is a general hospital related to research and
education activities at the medical faculty at a university/higher education institution.
Usually this hospital is used for training young doctors, testing new drugs or new
treatment techniques. This hospital is organized by the university/college as a form of
community service/the Tri Dharma of higher education.
4. Institution Hospital
A hospital established by an institution/company to serve patients who are
members of the institution/employees of the company. The reason for the
establishment could be due to an illness related to the institution's activities (eg
military hospital, airfield), a form of social security/free medical treatment for
employees, or because the location/location of the company is remote/far from public
hospitals. Usually institutional/company hospitals in Indonesia also accept general
patients and provide emergency rooms for the general public.
5. Clinic
A smaller medical facility that only caters for certain complaints. Usually run
by non-governmental organizations or doctors who want to run private practice.
Clinics usually only accept outpatient care. The form can also be in the form of a
collection of clinics called polyclinics. A clinic (or outpatient clinic or outpatient care
clinic) is a health care facility devoted to the care of outpatients. Clinics can be
operated, managed and funded privately or publicly, and usually cover the primary
health care needs of the population in the local community, as opposed to larger
hospitals that offer specialized care and admit inpatients for overnight stays.
