Types of Visits

You may be coming to ºÃÉ«tv Langone for a doctor’s office appointment or for a hospital stay as an inpatient, outpatient, or for observation. The forms you need to fill out vary depending on the type of visit, which include the following:

• An inpatient stay at a hospital, which usually lasts more than two nights, often for surgery, medical treatments, or to stabilize a serious illness or injury.
• An outpatient stay, which may take place at a hospital or one of our outpatient care centers, where you may have tests, a variety of treatments, or minor surgery. The stay is typically a few hours.

People under observation remain in a hospital bed while being monitored for a serious change in their medical condition, usually for less than 24 hours.
