Admission
The admission office is located behind the information desk in the main lobby of the hospital. Patients or their immediate family members are requested to provide insurance & information concerning hospitalization at the admission office.
If you have a pre-scheduled appointment for admission, it is important that you arrive on time, because your physician may have scheduled special tests for you (i.e., blood, x-rays, etc.) You will be asked to sign a consent form for admission to the hospital and for medical treatment. An identification bracelet for your wrist will also be prepared. At this time you will be taken to the nursing unit to which you are assigned. A nurse will interview you by asking questions about your general condition, diet, allergies, personal habits and other factors which will apply specifically to the nursing care you will receive.
Federal
regulations require hospital personnel to inquire as to the presence of
an Advance Directive. This includes a living will or durable power of
attorney with a healthier clause. Information on Advance Directives is
provided to every patient upon admission.
Please feel free to ask the nursing staff any questions you have about
our hospital, staff or procedures. We will try to provided you with the
room accommodations of your choice. However, on occasion, the accommodations
you prefer might not be immediately available because of physician requests,
special treatment procedures or the medical needs of other hospitalized
patients.
