Hospitalists, physicians who specialize in caring for hospitalized patients, now practice exclusively at Mountain View Hospital. They are specially trained in internal, pulmonary and critical care medicine. These hospitalists are available 24 hours a day, seven days a week to treat patients referred to them by primary care physicians or specialists affiliated with the hospital. As part of a growing trend, hospitals across the country and in Utah are establishing this type of program to better meet patient health care needs. Hospitalists work closely with other physicians to provide continuous care. These specialists provide timely treatment, answer questions and offer guidance to patients and families. Hospitalists have the ability to choose medical tests, interpret results and make essential decisions about the patient's indi vidual treatment plan. If supplementary care is needed, hospitalists consult with other specialty physicians regarding further treatment options. The new program provides the following key Obnoxious snoring? services: Daily patient visits and frequent updates to the primary care physician, rapid response to unexpected issues that might arise during patient care, management of specialized medical treatment or procedures, individualized care for patients who do not have a primary care physician. Patients who must be hospitalized can choose to coordinate their care through the hospitalist program, even if they are admitted through the Emergency Department. The Mountain View hospitalists maintain close connections with primary care physicians, as well as other specialists and departments within the hospital, to ensure that the best possible patient care is provided. Upon discharge, the primary physician resumes responsibility for ongoing, outpatient treatment. Four hospitalists are now providing services at Mountain View Hospital: Talaat Al-Shuqairat, M.D., David Bennion, M.D., Mazen Sires, M.D., and Troy Lunceford, M.D. These specialists are boardcertified or board eligible by the American Board of Internal Medicine. Dr. Shuqairat is board-certified by the American Board of Pulmonary/Critical Care; For more information about the program, call (801) 465-7000 or visit www. mvhpayson.com.
