Referral
Process
for Admission to the Inpatient
Unit:
|
Kimberly Colbert
Admissions Coordinator
|
-
Our Admissions Coordinator, along with medical staff, makes a comprehensive
assessment of the needs of each patient seeking admission, based on materials
sent by the outpatient team. Admission to the inpatient program is based on
assessment of a variety of clinical criteria to make sure that the patient's needs
will be met by our services.
-
The treating clinician must refer a prospective patient through personal phone
contact with the Admissions Coordinator for the Trauma Disorders Unit.
The Coordinator can be contacted at (410) 938-5078, or 1-800-627-0330, x 5078.
-
The Coordinator will gather demographic and clinical information for purposes
of intake screening.
-
The referrer will be promptly notified whether the patient has been
accepted based on clinical appropriateness, bed availability, and insurance status.
-
Arrangements for admission are coordinated through the hospital Admissions
Office and the Trauma Admissions Coordinator. If the unit is full, patients
accepted for admission may need to be placed on a referral list. All issues
related to the referral listing should be directed to the Admissions
Coordinator.
