outpatient visit
Non-admitted medical appointment
An outpatient visit is a medical appointment where the patient doesn't stay overnight at the facility.
You arrive, receive care—a checkup, test, minor procedure—and go home the same day.
Most routine healthcare happens through outpatient visits: The doctor scheduled an outpatient visit to review the test results.
Contrasts with inpatient care, which involves hospital admission.
