Patient admission is the process of formally accepting a patient into a healthcare facility, such as a hospital or clinic. This process typically begins with the patient or their representative providing personal information, medical history, and insurance details. The healthcare staff then assesses the patient's needs to determine the appropriate level of care. Once admitted, the patient is assigned a room and introduced to their care team, which may include doctors, nurses, and other healthcare professionals. The admission process ensures that the patient receives the necessary medical attention and that their information is accurately recorded in the facility's system for ongoing care and treatment.
