Admissions Process and Requirements
See required medical records and other admissions requirements based on your state.
Admissions Goals
Â鶹Դ´â€™s goal is to secure tentative, initial patient placement within one hour of receiving a referral; and confirmed placement within four hours of receiving all required records.
Placement Considerations
Certain considerations (such as financial clearance, high acuity, or other factors) can potentially delay or impact placement.
Admissions Tips for Success
Have your packet available.
This includes medical records (MRs) and any of the handouts (depending on patient’s needs). For Â鶹Դ´Â® Placement Portal (DPP) users, all required information is clearly identified, patient-specific and available anytime.
Help make sure clinicians order labs and TB test as soon as possible.
The average turnaround time for these is three business days; however, proactively ordering them will prevent admission delays.
For high acuity patients, submit the High Acuity Questionnaire (HASTE).
Proactively complete the High Acuity Questionnaire in the Â鶹Դ´Â® Placement Portal (DPP), or fill out the HASTE form and return to Â鶹Դ´ as soon as possible.
For uninsured patients, submit the Insurability Questionnaire (IQ).
Proactively complete the Insurance Tab in the Â鶹Դ´Â® Placement Portal (DPP), or fill out the Insurability Questionnaire form and return to Â鶹Դ´ as soon as possible.
