Hospital gowns VS patient uniform
I think the appropriate word is 'hospital gowns' but is the word 'patient uniform' not used in U.S.?
and are there any other similar words except hospital gowns?

A uniform is something you wear as a requirement of a job, or more rarely, as part of a membership of a club (such as the children's scouts organisation). It isn't something you would make a patient wear (and googling does not come up with any examples of this use). The only possibility might be historically in military hospitals, where it was a variation on their usual uniform wearing anyway.
