Post-Hospital Syndrome — An Acquired, Transient Condition of Generalized Risk

Resource Type: Opinion/Editorials
0 Comments

This New England Journal of Medicine perspective piece advises healthcare professionals to take a look beyond the disease that precipitates a hospitalization or readmission. The author argues that post-hospitalization, patients are recovering from the disorienting and taxing state of hospitalization itself, making them more vulnerable to other health threats.
