Steps when your doctor recommends admission to hospital.

• Admission staff will confirm paperwork, insurance authorisation and arrange your bed. Bring important items: ID, insurance card, medication list, and an overnight bag.
• Nursing staff will orient you to the ward, visiting hours, how to call for help, and daily routines.
• We will do medication reconciliation (compare your home medications to hospital medications) and baseline tests as needed.
• If you have financial concerns about admission, speak with admissions or social work before you are admitted.
