Observation, Consultation, and Hospitalization
Emergency Department Observation and Admission Processes: Step-by-Step Healthcare Management
At the Egemed Hospital Emergency Department, all aspects of your medical care—from the moment you walk through the door until you are discharged—are managed transparently, safely, and in accordance with international healthcare standards. Following initial emergency medical care, your treatment plan proceeds through the following stages:
Observation and Medical Treatment
Patients who undergo an initial evaluation in our emergency department and for whom immediate discharge is deemed medically risky are admitted to our specially equipped, isolated observation rooms. In this area, patients receive intravenous fluid therapy and pain management, while their blood pressure, pulse, temperature, and oxygen levels are continuously monitored using modern bedside monitors.
Advanced Diagnostic and Testing Phase
While the patient is under observation, laboratory blood tests (cardiac enzymes, complete blood count, etc.) and radiological imaging (X-ray, ultrasound, CT) are ordered to confirm the diagnosis. Thanks to our hospital’s fully equipped facilities, these results are available in our emergency medicine physician’s system within minutes.
Specialist Physician Consultation
If our emergency medicine physician determines, based on laboratory and clinical findings, that an expert opinion is needed to identify the source of the patient’s problem, they will summon the appropriate specialist from our hospital (e.g., Internal Medicine, General Surgery, Obstetrics and Gynecology) to the emergency department. The final decision is made following a joint assessment.
Discharge or Hospital Admission
Patients whose clinical condition has stabilized are discharged with prescriptions for medications to be taken at home and scheduled follow-up appointments at the outpatient clinic. In cases where inpatient treatment is required, the patient is safely transferred—depending on their condition—to a private patient room on the ward or to the Intensive Care Unit.
