Beginning your stay in hospital
The Admissions and Discharge Office
Unfortunately we cannot dispense with all the formalities when you come into hospital but we do try to keep the bureaucracy and paperwork down to the absolute minimum and to keep the admissions process as simple as possible.

How to find us
When you arrive at our hospital please bring the referral letter issued by family practitioner or specialist to the Central Admissions and Discharge Office through one of the three doors on the right when you come into the hospital via Entrance G. One of our staff will then ask you for your personal details. Since the introduction of the green e-card your patient data can now be read into our system electronically.
|
This means, for example, that we can speedily settle the costs of your stay in hospital with your medical insurance company and that as a patient you do not need to be involved with any administrative matters. All of your personal data is, of course, covered by data protection legislation and will be treated with the strictest confidentiality.
If you are not able to complete the registration formailities yourself for any reason, it will of course be possible for a family member to do this on your behalf.
