Information about hospitalization

In Fondazione Poliambulanza, hospitalization shall be granted as follows:

• By the Emergency Department
• By the National Health Care Service
• By a private patient’s policy
• By patients’ health insurance plan

Hospitalization after Emergency Department admission

When a patient is brought without prior appointment into the Emergency Department, he/she actually needs acute care. Since the sooner treatment is rendered, the better the outcome, those for whom immediate care might make a positive difference are actually treated quickly, regardless of the order of arrival to the hospital. The emergency physician is the one who is responsible for triaging patients, deciding whether he/she has to be admitted to the hospital (and to which Operating Unit he/she has to be consequently transferred) or discharged, prior a careful evaluation of his/her conditions. Patients who are accepted by the National Health Care Service are entitled to free services and can be admitted to the hospital.

Planned hospitalization of patients within the National Health Care Service

Patients who are assisted by the National Health Care Service in need of being hospitalied can be admitted to hospital at the request of the following figures:

• Their general practitioner/a freely chosen paediatrician with their proposal
• A specialized physician or the ASL Guardia Medica with their proposal

In both cases, Fondazione Poliambulanza reserves the right to decide whether the patients have to be hospitalized, on agreement between the parties.
 

Planned/urgent hospitalization of private patients
Furthermore, Fondazione Poliambulanza provides outpatient hospitalization (day hospital and day surgery) which does not require an overnight hospital stay, that is not exceeding 12 hours. Patients who are not assisted by the National Health Care Service, or those who waive their right to be assisted by the above mentioned Service, can be admitted to hospital on medical prescription only, and belonging such practitioner to Fondazione Poliambulanza’s medical staff. For intramoenia hospitalization it is possible to make use of a single room provided with all amenities, but with additional costs if there is a carer.

The quotations for patients who are in receipt of medically prescribed treatment in hospital shall be paid at the proper Secretariat Department. Furthermore, the person concerned has to sign an undertaking that he/she will adhere to the terms of the contract and not challenge them at a later stage. Please note that a refundable deposit of 50% of the cost may be required, as well.

Payments can be made by cheque, bancomat or credit card exclusively at the Private Patients/Having an Agreement Office, located at the first floor, C area, open from Monday to Friday from 8:30 am to 12:30 and from 1:30 pm to 3:30 pm. or by calling the +39 030/35 15 238 from external telephone and the 5238 from internal one.

Within the services and the activities of the Preventive Medicine Department, some interesting preventive programs have been implemented. For example the one run by our healthcare assistants concerning the so called ‘secure discharge’.

The secure discharge is a guidance pathway which takes care of the frail, that is a particular category of patients being at risk for several factors, among which precarious health, economic and social conditions, for example because of the lack of a family, or a supporting network of people, or even a home. The Offices’s tasks are the following:

• Protecting the frail, elederly and also young patients suffering from a total or partial loss of self-sufficiency and/or living in a state of uncertainty and social emargination.
• Promoting the continuity of care after the discharge by providing a type of residential care  such as nursing home, convalescent home, skilled nursing facility (SNF), care home, rest home or intermediate care facility.
• Reducing the period of hospitalization by promoting a better communication and mutual collaboration between the hospital and the region.
• Improving patients’ quality of life as well as that of the healthcare personnel in the medium-long term

You can contact the service by phone +39 030/35 13 347, by fax 030/35 18 223 or by e-mail at mpr@poliambulanza.it.
