An observation stay refers to a period during which a patient receives medical care and monitoring in a hospital setting without being formally admitted as an inpatient. Observation stays are typically used for patients who require additional evaluation or monitoring to determine the need for admission or discharge. During an observation stay, patients may undergo diagnostic tests, receive treatment, and be closely monitored by healthcare professionals to assess their condition and response to interventions. Observation stays are generally shorter in duration than inpatient admissions and may last for up to 48 hours, although they can be extended in certain circumstances. Patients in observation status are considered outpatients, and their care is billed under outpatient services, which may result in different coverage and cost-sharing requirements compared to inpatient stays.
