Admission Process:

The admission process at K J Somaiya Hospital & Research Centre is streamlined to ensure timely care and minimal stress for patients and families.

  • The treating doctor assesses the patient during an OPD visit or in the Emergency (Casualty) department and recommends hospital admission when clinically necessary.
  • Admissions may be emergency or immediate for critically ill patients, or elective for planned procedures and non-emergency treatments.
  • Wherever feasible, patients and their relatives are counselled in advance regarding:
  • The proposed treatment plan
  • Required documents
  • Expected duration of hospital stay
  • Approximate cost of treatment
  • Available payment or insurance options

Please note: Treatment estimates may vary depending on the condition's complexity and unforeseen clinical developments.

  • The doctor issues an admission note, which must be submitted to the Registration or Admission Department.
  • On the scheduled date, the patient or attendant reports to the Admission Counter to complete formalities, pay the applicable deposit, and generate the indoor admission file.
  • Critically ill patients receive immediate medical attention, while relatives complete admission procedures simultaneously.
  • One attendant is mandatory throughout the hospital stay. An attendant pass is issued and must be presented when required.
Documents Required for Admission

To ensure a smooth admission process, patients or attendants are advised to carry the following documents:

  • Valid photo identity proof (Aadhaar Card, Voter ID, Passport, or Driving Licence)
  • Insurance policy document or insurance card for cashless admissions
  • Doctor’s admission note
  • Previous and current medical records, including prescriptions and investigation reports
  • Additional documentation may be required for patients admitted under RGJAY, BPL, or Weaker Section schemes.
Discharge Process

The discharge process is planned to ensure continuity of care and clarity for patients and families.

  • The treating doctor prepares the discharge note once the patient is medically fit for discharge.
  • The patient or attendant reports to the Registration Desk with the discharge note to settle all dues and return visitor and attendant passes.
  • After financial and administrative clearance, ward staff assist in completing the discharge formalities.
  • The patient receives:
  • A detailed discharge summary
