Is 'at hospital' wrong?
It will largely be governed by context.

"I haven't seen xxx for a while."
"Oh, didn't you know? He's in hospital after a heart attack."


An ongoing situation where xxxx is likely to be under medical care for more than a day.

"Where is xxxx today?"
"He's in the hospital today for an x-ray."

A temporary situation and a specific reference to the location of the event.

"Can I find Dr xxxx?"
"He is at the hospital today doing his clinic there."


It is his place of work.

I would say that "at hospital" is not a usage that you will hear.
