Brief Intro

Tarak Chokshi MD, Hospitalist: Dr. Tarak Chokshi is hospitalist trained in caring for patients who have been admitted to the hospital. Hospitalists treat patients who are hospitalized and usually in a more acute stage of their care. Hospitalists do not have a regular clinic practice; they are available twenty four hours per day for inpatient care. An estimated 28,000 hospitalists practice today, specializing in the acute care of patients during their hospital stay. Hospital medicine is growing in its popularity as a medical specialty in the U.S.Fort Memorial Hospitalist Program Your primary care physician has asked a hospitalist to care for you throughout your stay at Fort Memorial Hospital. The Hospitalist and any other consulting specialists as indicated are in charge of all your medical care while you are an inpatient. It is optional for Fort HealthCare primary care physicians to participate in the Hospitalist Program. Some primary care physicians have elected to continue caring for their hospitalized patients. They may consult with the hospitalists at any time as this service is available to all physicians. Also, hospitalists may be asked to consult on surgical patients when patients have other medical conditions that may require monitoring. Persons admitted to the hospital without a regular primary care physician will be cared for by the hospitalist. If needed, we can assist you in finding a regular physician upon your discharge.
