Admission & Discharge

Admission Process

Except in the case of emergency admissions when the patient is unable to provide information, all patients must go through a registration process before being admitted to our hospital

 

The following are the pieces of information that patients will need to provide:

  • Personal identifying information, such as full name and address
  • Personal and emergency contact information, such as phone number and email address
  • Health insurance information (carrier name, member number, group number)
  • Signed authorization to release medical information to the insurance company

 

What should patients bring to the hospital when they are being admitted?


Admission process can be smoothed and streamlined by bringing the following key items:

  • Aadhar card
  • Insurance card (if available)
  • Debit/Credit card
  • Important health records
  • Drug/Medication list

Discharge Process

Discharge Procedure with no insurance will take 3-4 hours. Insurance discharge procedure will take up to 5 – 6 hours. At the time of discharge the patient will be given discharge paperwork, which consists of the following:

  • An explanation of why the patient was admitted to the hospital
  • The diagnosis along with any relevant findings
  • A detailed summary of the patient’s hospital stay
  • The status of the patient’s medical condition at the time of discharge
  • A detailed hospital discharge plan
  • The signature of the presiding physician

 

Although a discharge signifies that the patient is well enough to leave the hospital, not following the discharge plan may lead to readmission.
