hospitalization has 3 distinct synonyms spread across 2 of its 4 senses. Each sense below keeps its own list, because a synonym belongs to a meaning and not to a word: swapping one sense's substitute into another sense's sentence is how a thesaurus makes writing worse. WordNet records no antonym for it — antonymy is a relation between word forms rather than concepts, so it is deliberately sparse.
a period of time when you are confined to a hospital
“now they try to shorten the patient's hospitalization”
the condition of being treated as a patient in a hospital
“he hoped to avoid the expense of hospitalization”
Synonyms, antonyms and the broader and narrower relations for hospitalization come from Princeton University’s WordNet. Full sources and licences.
