A. ADMISSION PROCEDURES

Admission Procedure for the Emergency Wards: There is a three cubicle ward with twenty beds only in the casualty ward. The EMO, in consultation with the Senior Resident or the faculty of the unit-on-call, decides on the admission. It is the responsibility of the unit under which the patient is admitted to transfer the case back to their own ward services at the earliest so that the casualty beds are available for other emergencies or disaster management.

ADMISSION OF THE PATIENTS TO THE HOSPITAL FROM THE SUB-SPECIALITY CLINICS

Admission procedures for the sub-speciality wards and beds: There are 3 inlets for admission to these wards.
1. From the speciality clinics: Patients seen in the sub-speciality clinics run by the speciality departments may be advised admission to their wards directly. The formalities of admission are the same as described above.
2. From the Casualty: Occasionally a patient seen for the first time in the casualty may have an illness which makes him more suitable for admission and care by a sub-speciality department. The EMO may directly, or in consultation with the Senior Resident of the general discipline, call the Senior Resident of the sub-speciality department who may admit the patient directly under his care.
3. Ward Transfers: Occasionally a patient may be admitted to general ward and later due to the special type of care required due to patient’s illness, he or she may be transferred to the sub-speciality ward, in this case, the bed has to be provided by the concerned sub-speciality.
