In health care, an orphan patient is a patient who has been "lost" within the system or has no primary provider overseeing their care. Usually, the primary provider is a general practitioner who takes care of some of the basic health needs and then refers to a specialist for complicated medical problems. Thus, orphan patients are sometimes referred to as "no-family-doctor" patients. The view from insiders and health care providers is that orphan patients tend to receive inferior care compared to those who have a "gatekeeper" coordinating the medicine.

| - En el ámbito sanitario, un paciente huérfano es la persona que se "pierde" dentro del sistema, es decir, no tiene médico de cabecera que supervise sus cuidados. Cuando hablamos de un médico de cabecera se hace referencia a un médico de atención primaria o médico de familia que se encarga de las necesidades básicas de salud del paciente y lo deriva a un especialista para consultar los problemas de salud más complejos, asesorando al paciente y guiándolo dentro del sistema sanitario. Así, los pacientes huérfanos a veces son conocidos como pacientes "sin médico de cabecera". Los pacientes huérfanos suelen recibir cuidados menos adecuados que las personas que por el contrario tienen un médico de atención primaria que supervise y vigile su estado de salud. (es)

- In health care, an orphan patient is a patient who has been "lost" within the system or has no primary provider overseeing their care. Usually, the primary provider is a general practitioner who takes care of some of the basic health needs and then refers to a specialist for complicated medical problems. Thus, orphan patients are sometimes referred to as "no-family-doctor" patients. The view from insiders and health care providers is that orphan patients tend to receive inferior care compared to those who have a "gatekeeper" coordinating the medicine. The entry for this phrase is as follows [1]: A hospital patient who doesn't have a family doctor. Also known as an unattached patient. Example Citation:Dr. Tom Dickson, chief of staff at the William Osler Health Centre in Brampton, Ont., said the FP [family physician] shortage is so severe in the ring of suburbs surrounding Toronto — the '905 belt' — that dozens of orphan patients are arriving at local community hospitals every day.—Patrick Sullivan, "Enter the hospitalist: new type of patient creating a new type of specialist," Canadian Medical Association Journal, May 2, 2000 Earliest Citation:Recent media reports have identified a growing problem in Ontario's health care system — the care of "orphan patients." These are patients who rely on walk-in clinics and emergency departments because they do not have their own family doctor. —Jan Kasperski, "Orphan patients," The Record (Kitchener-Waterloo), October 13, 1999 (en)
