Elective Admission

Elective admission to the hospital is pre-arranged following a consultation in the outpatients department or in a consultant's private rooms.  You will be contacted in writing or by phone advising you of same.

Patients for elective admission to the hospital must first call to the admissions office and be registered before being directed to the relevant ward.  Details in relation to the patient's demographics, GP, next of kin, medical card / private insurance are captured at this point and recorded on our iPMS (integrated Patient Management System).
 
A queue management system helps to alleviate queues and ensures patients are transferred to the ward in a timely fashion. Patients are asked to take a ticket and wait to be called.
 
Claimsure is the electronic claims management system which assists with the electronic submission of data to insurers.
 
Staff in the admissions department strive to be sensitive to the needs of patients being admitted, especially those who are worried or extremely ill.  Patients are greeted with a smile and are re-assured of discretion in relation to aspects of their care.
