In the late 90s a new trend emerged in hospital care. Normally a patients’ primary care physician would monitor their care and treatment during a hospital stay. However, a hospitalist now handles that care—a doctor who specializes in treating those who are in the hospital.

Lake County Hospitalist Care is a group of highly trained, board-certified physicians and advanced registered nurse practitioners who oversee and coordinate the medical care of Florida Hospital Waterman patients. They are, essentially, the experts in taking care of those who are hospitalized. Haseeb Ben Kazim, MD, is medical director of the group and has 14 years of experience in internal medicine.

“Our primary focus is twofold,” Dr. Kazim says. “We offer the highest level of care along with compassion for all our patients.”

The family and the patient are included in all discussions, and time is taken to outline tests, procedures, medications, or surgery that is needed. This doctor becomes the patient’s physician of record during the hospital stay and is consulted for information and answering questions.

“Our group of highly trained physicians are happy to serve the Waterman community,” Dr. Kazim adds.

These doctors know being in the hospital is a stressful time, and they are intent on easing that stress and assuring the family that everything needed is being done. “We want our patients to feel comfort able and informed during their hospital stay.”

Dr. Kazim and his associates know that a patient’s view of their hospital care comes from their relationship with the doctor. This care includes overseeing and coordinating all the medical care, working directly with surgeons or other specialists involved in patient care, and easing the transition from inpatient to outpatient.

“We consult with the specialists about the patient’s health history and medications, and determine when the patient is well enough to be discharged,” Dr. Kazim says. “It is our mission to make sure our patients are provided with the best medical care while a patient at Florida Hospital Waterman.”

Following the patient’s release from the hospital, this connection returns to the primary care physician. Lake County Hospitalist Care sees more patients admitted to the hospital than any other group so they are leaders in this field.
