outpatient
含义: A patient who attends a hospital or clinic for treatment without being admitted overnight. It also serves as an adjective for services delivered on this basis.
Outpatient clinics handle the majority of specialist consultations, diagnostic tests, and minor procedures within the NHS. The shift from inpatient to outpatient models has been a key strategy for reducing costs and waiting lists. Outpatient appointments may be face-to-face or, increasingly, conducted via telemedicine.
