Admission to hospital is a formal process. It follows a medical officer’s decision that a patient needs to be admitted for appropriate management or treatment of their condition, and/or for appropriate care or assessment of their needs.
Admitted patient services are either provided on a same-day basis or can involve a stay in hospital overnight or longer.
