Hello, again, all!
I'm researching admitting Mom (who is home-bound, not in a hospital or other facility) to a suburban Chicago hospital -- options including Rush University, Northwestern University, and University of Chicago.
I wondered if any of y'all knew the admitting procedures for any of these hospitals.
We had to eliminate Mayo Clinic because they won't accept a patient transfer from home -- only from another hospital.
Is that the case with these local hospitals? I was also hoping not to have to take her through the Emergency Room in order to admit, but I don't know if that's an option.
Any help would be appreciated!
Ann
Call her doctor and ask him to do it. Mom doesn't have a doctor? Call yours. Otherwise, just take her to the emergency room and let them go through their necessary routine...probably the easiest route.
