Being admitted can be a stressful experience for both patients and their loved ones. That is why we have created a comprehensive admissions and discharge process to ensure our patients receive the best possible care and support during their stay with us.
Admissions
To be admitted, you will need to go through a registration process. Our registration desk is at the hospital entrance, and our friendly staff will guide you through the process. You will need to provide your personal information, including your name, address, and insurance details. Once you have completed the registration process, you will be escorted to your room.
Our team of healthcare professionals will then conduct a thorough assessment to determine the best course of treatment for you. This assessment includes a physical examination, medical history, and necessary diagnostic tests. Based on the assessment results, our medical team will develop a personalized treatment plan for you.
During your stay at King Faisal Hospital, our team will provide 24-hour care, including medical treatment, nursing care, and emotional support. We encourage our patients to participate in their care and ask questions to ensure that they fully understand their treatment plan.
Discharge
Once your treatment is complete, our medical team will conduct a final assessment to determine if you are ready for discharge. If you are ready to leave, our team will provide detailed discharge instructions, including medication instructions, follow-up appointments, and any necessary home care instructions.
If you require additional support after your discharge, our team will work with you to develop a plan for ongoing care. This may include home care services, rehabilitation services, or referral to a specialist.
We are committed to providing our patients with the highest quality care and support at King Faisal Hospital. Our admissions and discharge process is designed to ensure that our patients receive the best possible care from the moment they arrive until the moment they leave.
Please don’t hesitate to speak with our staff if you have any questions or concerns about our admissions or discharge process.
