Ambulantní is a Slovak adjective meaning ambulant or outpatient. It describes a type of medical care where a patient receives treatment or services without being admitted to a hospital overnight. This can include doctor's appointments, diagnostic tests, minor surgeries, or therapy sessions. The term emphasizes the patient's ability to move around and not be bedridden, hence "ambulantní." It signifies a less intensive level of care compared to inpatient services. The concept is prevalent in healthcare systems worldwide, focusing on efficiency and patient convenience by allowing individuals to return to their homes after receiving necessary medical attention. Ambulantní care also often involves preventative medicine and regular check-ups, contributing to overall public health. The practice of ambulantní care aims to reduce hospital occupancy and costs while providing accessible medical services.
