INPATIENT: The inpatient definition is an important one–you are considered a hospital inpatient once your doctor has written orders for admission and the hospital has formally admitted you to a room. This is different from being sent to the hospital for tests, or your doctor telling you to go to the emergency room (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site. for immediate assessment. To qualify as an inpatient, you must be under the care of a doctor (with admitting privileges at that hospital) who then writes orders to admit you and gives instructions for your care while you are in the hospital. You’re generally an inpatient until (and including) the day before you’re discharged.

OUTPATIENT: If your doctor sends you to the hospital for x-rays or other diagnostic tests, or if you have same-day surgery or visit the emergency department, you are considered an outpatient, even if you spend the night in the course of getting those services. You only become an inpatient if your doctor writes orders to have you formally admitted.

OBSERVATION: You might have an illness or health condition that requires treatment, but your doctor may need time to observe and evaluate you. In these situations, he or she may send you to the hospital for observation to help determine whether to admit you for treatment. Think of being under observation as a sort of middle ground between inpatient vs. outpatient care. Your doctor can request regular monitoring, order tests, and check your response to medical therapy to help decide whether you require inpatient care.

This may be a complex medical judgment for your doctor; a brief observation period, usually 24 hours or less, can sometimes help clarify the decision to admit you. When you are under observation, you are generally considered an outpatient.
