Radiotherapy, why not stay in hospital?

The main reason for not allowing hospitalization for radiotherapy is that it does not require hospitalization. First, radiotherapy is usually a phased treatment method carried out according to the course of treatment. Patients do not need to stay in hospital for a long time. They can go to the radiotherapy department for treatment on time every day. After treatment, they can go home to rest. This can improve the efficiency of medical resources and allow beds to be reserved for patients who need more long-term hospitalization. Second, the patient's physical condition may be relatively stable during radiotherapy. If there are no other serious complications or special circumstances, the patient can recuperate in a familiar family environment during the treatment interval, which is more conducive to maintaining a good mental state and life pattern. Moreover, from the perspective of medical management and cost, reducing unnecessary hospitalization can reduce the burden of medical expenses for patients, and also facilitate more effective management and treatment planning for hospitals. In addition, some patients may need some time to observe adverse reactions after radiotherapy, but they do not necessarily need hospitalization. Regular outpatient follow-up can be used to monitor their physical condition. Finally, with the development of medical technology and the transformation of medical models, outpatient radiotherapy has become a more common and mature model, which can meet the needs of radiotherapy for most patients, and can ensure the treatment effect and patient safety through perfect follow-up mechanism.
