Standard Hospitalization
Standard hospitalization generally follows a preliminary outpatient specialist consultation to assess whether it must be carried out urgently, can be postponed, or can take place as a Day-Hospital or Day-Surgery admission.
The patient is then added to a waiting list and later contacted by phone regarding the date and time they must report to the Hospital Admission office.
Emergency Hospitalization
In urgent cases, access the Emergency Room at Via Santo Garovaglio 14 – Tel. 031/324376.
Please note that, according to specific legal provisions (D.P.R. 27.3.1969, no. 128, art. 14):
“The on-call physician decides on the necessity of admission and the appropriate destination for the patient.”
Hospitalization within the hospital divisions can occur in three forms:
Required Documents for Hospitalization
Identity document
Regional Health Card (CRS/SISS) or equivalent documentation
Referral from the attending physician
Complete prior clinical documentation, including all test results, indications, and information about current medications
Inpatient Services
Personal radios and televisions may be used with head nurse authorization and with respect for other patients
Coin-operated vending machines for drinks and snacks are available in the hospital lobbies
Discharge
Photocopies of the Medical Record, radiological exams, hospitalization certificates with diagnosis, childbirth assistance certificates, and copies of outpatient reports must be requested at the Medical Report Collection Office, located near the Emergency Room entrance at Via Santo Garovaglio 14 (Entrance G).
Hours: Monday to Friday, 10:00 AM – 3:30 PM.
Fees for these documents are set by the Administration. Requests must be made by the patient or someone delegated by them. If the request is sent by mail, the patient's signature must be certified by the local municipality.
Delivery of the documentation typically takes about two weeks from the request date, so it is advisable to make the request at the time of discharge.
