in-hospital
Currently receiving care
In-hospital describes something occurring or administered within a hospital setting, as opposed to outpatient care or home treatment: in-hospital mortality rates, in-hospital rehabilitation.
The term appears primarily in medical and insurance contexts to distinguish care requiring admission from procedures done elsewhere.
