Clinical focus

Dr. Hemşinlioğlu’s work centers on inpatient medical care. Her role is to look after patients who have been admitted to the hospital, whether for medical treatment, observation or recovery after a procedure. This begins with medical assessment: reviewing the patient’s history, current complaints and existing findings, and carrying out a clinical examination in order to establish the patient’s condition at the time of admission and to identify issues that need attention during the stay.

A further part of her work is inpatient monitoring. Patients in hospital are followed on an ongoing basis so that changes in their condition can be recognized and addressed in a timely way. Dr. Hemşinlioğlu also focuses on care coordination, which involves communicating with the other physicians, nurses and hospital teams involved in a patient’s treatment so that the different elements of inpatient care are aligned. For patients and their families, this means having a physician who follows their general medical status while they are in hospital and who helps keep the various aspects of their care connected.

How Dr. Hemşinlioğlu works with international patients

Dr. Hemşinlioğlu speaks Turkish and English, and interpreters can be arranged for patients who speak other languages. Before a hospital stay or consultation, the Acibadem international patient team coordinates the collection of prior reports and imaging, such as MRI, CT, X-ray or ultrasound reports, laboratory and pathology results, operative notes and discharge summaries, and arranges appointments and the hospital visit. A first consultation typically covers the patient’s history and symptoms, a review of existing imaging and previous treatments, a clinical examination and a discussion of the available options. For international patients, a video consultation can be arranged, which may be helpful for an initial review of the medical situation or for follow-up discussions after a hospital stay. Throughout hospitalization, Dr. Hemşinlioğlu’s aim is clear communication and attentive care focused on the patient’s medical needs.
