While You are a Patient

As you settle in, this is the ideal time to discuss any last-minute questions or concerns you might have about your treatment with the clinical staff at Neuro Spinal Hospital. The following guide helps answer some concerns that many new patients have.

Patient Identification Number and Wrist Band

During the admission process, you will be assigned a patient identification number (PIN) and receive a wrist band with your name and PIN number. For your own safety, please wear this wrist band at all times at the Neuro Spinal Hospital. Your PIN is yours permanently.

Ward Orientation

Once you are admitted, you will be shown to your room. A nurse will be waiting to assist you and you will meet the physician(s) caring for you. Your physician(s) will direct the nursing staff as to your care plan, tests, diets, and treatments.

Consent

During admission, you may be asked to sign a general agreement for treatment. Many procedures require you to sign a document to confirm that you were informed about potential risks.

Doctors’ Rounds

Physicians are on duty 24 hours a day. Most routine rounds occur in the morning. Please feel free to discuss your treatment, drugs, or care-related questions during these times.
