Being prepared for your stay means that you can relax and provide your child with the emotional support necessary for the recovery process. Here are tips to help you plan for your stay, be it an extended stay, an outpatient procedure or a baby wellness check-up.
Admission & Eligibility
At Gertrude’s Hospital, a children’s facility, only patients who are below 18 years old are eligible for admission as inpatients. Admission is only based on a child’s medical needs at the time they are being admitted.
Once admitted, the patients are placed under the care of an appropriate and experienced private consultant.
Casualty
This admission follows the normal procedure whereby a patient comes to Gertrude’s Hospital as an outpatient case and the doctor feels that it will be in the best interest of the patient’s health to be admitted for further treatment and observation.
Satellite Clinics
This admission almost follows the normal procedure whereby a patient comes to Gertrude’s Hospital as an outpatient case. But in this case, the patients visits one of the Gertrude’s Hospital’s Satellite Clinics and the doctor from the clinic feels that it will be in the best interest of the patient’s health to be admitted for further treatment and observation.
The patient is referred to the satellite clinic and transport is organised to take the patient to Gertrude’s Main Hospital. A bed is prepared to make the admission smooth.
Emergency
This admission does not follow the normal procedure in an Emergency case and the patient is very serious and doctor feels that it will be in the best interest of the patient’s health to be admitted for further treatment and observation, the patient is admitted directly to the ward or ICU depending on the status of the patient.
Patient, Family Rights & Responsibilities
Parents are welcome 24 hours a day. There are times during the day when parents may be asked to step out of the room or unit. Both parents or legal guardians or one family-designated caregiver may be in the patient’s room before and after visiting hours. Sleeping arrangements are available for one parent in most rooms. For the patient’s safety, please do not sleep in the child’s bed.
