How do hospitalists find out your history without dealing with your pcp?

Patient: Generally patient is the one who gives the history. But any other information like medications etc , we may have to get the information from the pcp.

History-taking.: Three ways at least. (1) Ask you, the patient, and/or members of your family. (2) Access your hospital chart. (3) Access your regular doctor’s chart - hospitals and outside offices these days often will share the same electronic medical record, so a Hospitalist can access your hospital chart, office chart, blood test results and radiology test results directly.
