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.
