i dont think these images are outpatients. These people in the images are confined in the hospital, but not bedridden. They are classified as in patients. They are free to roam around as long as with the permission of the hospital. Outpatients are people seeking treatment, diagnosis or any medical service (check up) that do not render confinement or stay in the hospital. Simply, a hospital visit. Outpatients mostly visits the ER or doctors clinics, then if there is necessity for confinement, then their status will be changed to in-patient, and will be assigned to any of the departments of the hospital ( e.g. Ob, Medicine, Surgery, Ortho)
