Özet

Hospitalistler, birincil hedefleri, yatan hastaların genel tıbbi bakımı olan hekimlerdir. Hospitalist model, dünyadakiyatarak hasta bakımının manzarasını hızla değiştirmektedir. Hospitalist hekimlerin çoğu sertifikalı dahiliyeuzmanları iken hospitalistlerin bazıları ise aile hekimleridir. Ancak Türkiyede aile hekimleri için tanımlanmış birkavram bulunmamaktadır.Amacımız; dünyadaki hospitalist kavramını ve aile hekimleri için yarattığı fırsatları gözden geçirmek ve Türkiyedekiuygulanabilirliğini tartışmaktır.Hospitalist model, birçok potansiyel avantaj sunmaktadır. Henüz Türkiyede böyle bir uzmanlık alanı bulunmamaktadır.Peki, böyle bir uzmanlık alanı Türkiye için gerekli midir?Aile hekimlerinin, yatan hasta takibinde aktif rol alması, sağlık hizmetlerinin koordinasyonunun geliştirilmesindegözle görülür bir fayda sağlayabilir.
