outpatient treatment
Non-admitted medical care
Outpatient treatment is medical or therapeutic care that doesn't require an overnight stay in a hospital or facility.
The patient arrives for appointments, procedures, or therapy sessions and returns home the same day: She's doing outpatient treatment for her knee three times a week.
The term contrasts with inpatient treatment, where the patient is admitted and stays overnight.
