Understanding the Difference Between In-Patient and Out-Patient Care

In-patient refers to a patient who is admitted to a hospital or other medical facility for treatment, as opposed to an out-patient, who receives treatment on an outpatient basis without being admitted. In-patients are typically admitted for overnight or longer stays, and may receive more intensive treatment and monitoring than out-patients.
