 Wikinfo | Hospital   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
A general hospital is typically the major health care facility in its region, with large numbers of beds for intensive care and long-term care; and specialized facilities for surgery, plastic surgery, childbirth, bioassay laboratories, and so forth.
State-supported hospitals also appeared in China during the first millennium A.D. In Europe the medieval concept of Christian care evolved during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries into a secular one, but it was in the eighteenth century that the modern hospital began to appear, serving only medical needs and staffed with physicians and surgeons.
In the United States the traditional hospital is a non-profit hospital, usually sponsored by a religious denomination.

 CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Hospitals
Thus the hospital built by the monks of Innisfallen in 869 is merely called nosocomium although it is usually reckoned an early foundation for lepers in Ireland.
The administration of the hospital when this formed part of a monastery, was naturally in the hands of the abbot or prior and the details were prescribed in the monastic rule.
For the hospitals in particular, Vivès urges strict economy in their administration, better provision for medical attendance and a fairer apportionment of available funds whereby the surplus of the wealthier institutions should be assigned to the poorer.

 Protection of Infant Boys in American Hospitals
American Academy of Pediatrics clearly states that circumcision is an elective non-essential procedure, which means it is neither necessary nor desirable for your son's health.
Unfortunately, extraordinary measures are sometimes necessary to protect an infant boy in hospital from unwanted and unnecessary circumcision by neglect, carelessness, greed, and/or malicious intent and to guarantee that your baby boy emerges from the hospital intact and uninjured.
Hospital procedures, rules, regulations, discharge policies are made for the benefit and protection of the hospital and not for you or your baby.

 Midwifery in the United States
Obtaining hospital privileges in the United States is a critical element in a midwife's ability to practice and use the resources found within the hospital, such as the lab, radiology and the emergency room.
Hospital administrators are looking at different models of health care, and at countries where midwives provide most of the care.
Many midwives do not seek hospital privileges, but others want to be able to transition their clients into the hospital should the need arise, and be able to continue care within the hospital.

 Alcohol-Related Hospitalizations -- Indian Health Service and Tribal Hospitals, United States, May 1992
Alcohol use is directly responsible for hospitalizations resulting from chronic conditions, such as alcoholic liver disease and alcoholic psychoses; in addition, alcohol use can be a contributing factor in other conditions, such as infectious diseases and injuries, that require hospital admission.
Editorial Note: When surveillance of alcohol-related morbidity among hospital inpatients is restricted to a limited set of alcohol-defined diagnoses typically associated with chronic alcoholism, the contribution of alcohol use to overall morbidity may be substantially underestimated.
