| What changes have occurred in the epidemiology of hospitalized patients in recent years? |
Disability, anxiety, and loneliness – regardless of the reason you are hospitalized – are among the illnesses that lead to hospitalization. Even more so because of what happened due to COVID-19.
| What basic competencies does a trainee need for his/her practice? |
Understand the patient, make necessary contacts, analyze symptoms and signs, request tests and work as a team to choose the best treatment.
| What are the greatest difficulties in managing hospitalized patients? |
Beyond seriousness, there is a shortage of medicine and diagnostic tools in public hospitals. Also important is the importance of bed rest and avoiding complications of anxiety and the lack of personnel.
| What is the value of standardized protocols and what is the value of individual clinical judgment located in each case? |
Protocols are pathways that can be used to facilitate diagnosis or treatment. This will improve clinical judgment regarding the patient’s pathology.
