ADMISSION/DISCHARGE GUIDE
Admission(reservation) process
Determination and reservation for admission
For a patient whose admission has been decided as a result of medical check from the department or after an emergency medical service, the responsible/attending doctor in charge will input the date of hospitalization to the system.
The patient and his/her guardian will then go through the admission process on the day or make a reservation at the hospitalization/discharge (emergency room) counter of the administration office.
Delivery of information msg on admission process (on the day of hospitalization)
Once a room is allocated on the admission day, a kakaotalk message or a text message will be delivered, informing the time for admission process and the grades of rooms.
A patient room will be determined based on the circumstances such as situation of the hospital on the day of hospitalization and discharged patients. Therefore, the patient may be allocated to a room with the grade which was not of the patient's highest priority on the day of admission.
Administration process and ward entrance
On the day of hospitalization, the patient gets to visit the hospital with a guardian during the time indicated by the information message and fills out the inpatient agreement at hospitalization/discharge counter of the administration office.
Upon completion of inpatient process, the patient moves to the ward where the room of the patient is located and the nurse in charge will guide the patient to the room.
