Your admission
Different types of admissions in our hospital
Scheduled admission
The doctor, in consultation with you, will set a date and time for your admission. The doctor will give you an admission file with important details for your admission and for reserving a room.
For a planned procedure, you will also receive a digital questionnaire. It is important that the anaesthesiologist is fully informed about your health condition, your medication and medical history before your procedure. All this is necessary for the anaesthesia to be as safe as possible. You are therefore obligated to complete this preoperative questionnaire, at least 14 days before the procedure. Based on the completed questionnaire, the anesthesiologist will give his approval for the procedure.
Can't fill out the digital preoperative questionnaire yourself? Then make an appointment at the preoperative service on 011 69 98 30.
Depending on the procedure you will undergo and your health condition, you will be given an appointment at the preoperative department.
During your appointment at the preoperative department we will take care of the following things
- checking the preoperative questionnaire and completing it where necessary
- determine and perform preoperative examinations
- if necessary, an appointment will be made for a preoperative anaesthesia consultation with one of the anaesthesiologists.
The day of admission, you will report to the hospital at the appointed hour. Don't forget to bring your home medication in original packaging and your blood group card.
Admission via emergency department
For urgent care you can visit our emergency department. Access to the emergency department is clearly marked upon arrival at the hospital and is located at the back of the hospital.
If you are admitted after 11 p.m., you'll normally stay in the night hospital in the emergency department until the next morning. The next morning, a nurse will take you to the ward where you will receive further care.
If you sign up at the emergency room without a referral letter from your GP or without the intervention of the 100-service, you will pay more co-payment contribution.
Outpatient admission
For some procedures and examinations an overnight stay in the hospital is not necessary. You come to the hospital the day of the procedure and may go home the same day. Outpatient admission is possible in the following departments:
- Day surgery hospital
- Hyperambulatory day hospital
- Internal surgery day hospital
- Geriatric day hospital
- Children's department (paediatrics)
- Head and neck centre
Your attending doctor will tell you where and when you should register for your outpatient procedure, treatment or examination.
