Hospital and clinic are two types of health care system that are undeniably different from each other. However, both institutes, differ due to the differences in their nature. Clinic is health center consulting private room beginning with a physician. A hospital is place where the sick and injured are taken for treatment. The doctors and nurses are readily available there for attending on their patients. They are employed by the hospitals to nurse the sick back to health.
Both hospital and clinical have big differences between each, some examples include: Size- clinicals are smaller than hospitals and hospitals are larger than clinicals and, Staffs- clinicals are always runned by few practitioners and hospital has many doctors, nurses and other medical techs.

Health care is something that everyone requires in order to lead a healthy life. After a visit to a hospital there are instances when certain individuals require further care due to their circumstances. Although hospitals may provide long-term care, it is not usually ideal. Hospitals are in place to handle emergency situations and aid in stabilizing the patients. Once the patients are stable, they must be transitioned to another facility if they require further assistance. This will avoid maximum occupancy for the hospital and allow it to remain available to other patients that may need their services. Patients who require long-term care or around the clock care and are in good medical condition should seek a long-term care facility, such as a skilled nursing facility or nursing home. For some individuals, facilities such as skilled nursing facilities or nursing homes are a blessing. These types of facilities are in existence to aid in the recovery of certain injuries and or to provide living arrangements for those who lack someone to care for them or assist with meeting their health care needs.

Additionally, urgent care centers have been able to offer patients an alternative to the significantly higher cost of emergency room visits. Following an emergency room visit, patients are charged according to the level of care they are receiving which is rated from minor to major injuries and illnesses. Insurance companies may reject coverage of patients who sought care for a low level injury or illness in an emergency room setting leaving the patient with a large bill for a moderate condition. In addition to the cost of the treatment, insurance companies charge patients an additional fee just for utilizing an emergency room. Furthermore, the cost of seeing an urgent care provider versus an emergency department provider is significantly cheaper.
