Outpatient care means receiving medical services without staying overnight in a hospital or facility. You come in for a visit or a day procedure and go home the same day. Inpatient care requires admission and an overnight stay, nursing homes provide long-term residential care, and hospice is end-of-life care that can be provided at home or in a facility but isn’t defined by an overnight hospital admission. So the setting that matches outpatient care is the one where you don’t stay overnight.
