CHAPTER 1
INTRODUCTION
The UERM Memorial Hospital is a health facility which opened in 1957, located at #64
Aurora Boulevard, Barangay Dona Imelda, Quezon City. It is comprised of a pay and charity
wards; it has a 500 bed capacity. It is a teaching hospital wherein students from the UERM
Colleges of Medicine, Nursing, and Allied Rehabilitation Sciences have their clinical experience.
The UERM Hospital The institute has an average of 5,426 admissions in the private
wards and 4, 104 admissions in the charity wards annually. The average occupancy rate of the
hospital is 90%.
In this study, the investigators would like to evaluate the adherence of registered nurses
to the admission protocol of UERM Memorial Hospital and the amount of time spent in each
action. With that, the investigators can help determine the effectiveness of the existing admission
protocol and determine whether nurses are able to follow the protocol effectively and efficiently.
Furthermore, the investigators can now give insight on how to follow the protocol more
effectively and efficiently.
A. STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEMThis research study seeks to answer the following questions:
1. What is the admission practice of registered nurses at UERM hospital?2. What is the amount of time spent in admitting a client at UERM hospital?

3. How does the registered nurse follow the system to effectively and efficiently admit apatient?
4. How effective and efficient is the admission protocol in the institution?
B. SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDYNursing Education. The study will help the Department of Nursing Service in
identifying issues that can be addressed through the in-service training of personnel.
Nursing Practice. The study will help the registered nurses assess if they are able to
follow the admission protocol. Also, it will help the institution to evaluate the effectiveness
and efficiency of the admission protocol and enable them to make necessary actions.
Nursing Research. The study may serve as a reference for related or further study in the
effectiveness of admission protocols.
C. SCOPE AND LIMITATION OF THE STUDYThis study will be conducted at the UERM Hospital from February to March 2013. The
investigators will observe the admission practice of registered nurses/ personnel from the
moment patients enter the Emergency Room, Out-Patient Department, and Admission Area
up to the transfer to their designated rooms. They will oversee if the admission protocol of
the institution is being followed.
The investigators will not be able to ask the views and opinions of the registered nurses.

CHAPTER 2
REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE
The admission process is typically the initial point of contact a patient has with the
hospital. Key patient information is collected during admission and used for identification,
billing, and care planning purposes. In addition, patients receive a significant amount of
information from the hospital, including patient rights documents and relevant hospital policies.
As patients and their families interact with staff at the registration desk and complete admission
forms and paperwork, the admission phase of the care continuum provides hospitals with the first
opportunity to identify and address the unique needs of their patients (Bau et.,al 2010)
.Admission to the hospital can happen in various ways. Your family member may be treated in
the Emergency Room (ER) and need additional treatment requiring a hospital stay. Other times
you may know that your family member will be staying in the hospital for at least one night. This
planned admission could be for elective (non-emergency) surgery, tests, or special procedures.
Whether it starts as an emergency or as a planned admission, a hospital stay is often the first
stage in a series of transitions, or moves to different health care settings. You and your family
member will feel more prepared and perhaps less anxious when you know. (United Hospital
Fund, 2008). There are several different types of hospital admissions, depending on the nature of
tests or treatment required. These are: 1. Outpatient- If a patient is referred to see a hospital
consultant for their specialist opinion, they will receive an outpatient appointment. The patient
will not need to stay in hospital. People usually get referred to Outpatients by Casualty, their GP
or they get referred from Aberdeen Hospitals. 2. Day patient- A patient may need a hospital bed
for tests or surgery, but do not need to stay overnight, in this case they will have a day patient

appointment. This is also known as a day case.3. Inpatient- Should a patient need a hospital bed
because they have to stay in hospital for tests or in-patient treatment or surgery, they will have an
inpatient appointment. An admitted patient is defined as a patient whose entire care is not
provided within a designated emergency department or urgent care centre and who meets at least
one of the Criteria for Admission. Admission can occur in a traditional hospital setting, or in
other settings under specified programs such as Hospital In The Home. Non-admitted
(emergency or outpatient) services provided to a patient who is subsequently classified as an
admitted patient shall be regarded as part of the admitted episode. (Laurenson, 2010)
When a patient is transferred from the Emergency Department to a ward (including short stay
units), the Admission Time is the time treatment was started in the Emergency Department rather
than the time it was decided to transfer the patient. Any intervention provided after treatment
commences should be recorded and identified as part of the admitted patients episode of care
(Victorian Hospital Policy, 2012) . The aim of this guidance document is to support hospitals,
Primary Care Trusts (PCTs), local authorities and the voluntary sector, working in partnership, to
develop an effective admission and discharge protocol for people who are homeless or living in
temporary or insecure accommodation. Due to the complex needs of some homeless people, a
hospital admission and discharge protocol will be most effective when it is developed in
partnership by the hospital, local PCTs and primary care providers, the voluntary sector and the
local authority. Steps to consider in developing a protocol: 1.Step one Identify relevant
organisations 2. Step two Set up a steering group 3. Step three Review existing systems 4.
Step four Identify training and resource requirements 5. Step five Develop a protocol building
on existing systems 6. Step six Ensure protocol is fit for purpose 7. Step seven Test and
monitor protocol 8. Step eight Set up audit arrangements 9. Step nine Review and refine

protocol 10. Ensuring the protocol remains up to date. (London Network for nurses and
midwifes, December 2006) The Criteria for Admission reflect the intended level of treatment
that the patient is to receive. The criterion under which each patient is admitted does not have an
impact on casemix funding. (Victorian Hospital Admission Policy, 2012) Checklist to Improve
Effective Communication, Cultural Competence, and Patient- and Family-Centered Care During
Admission: Inform patients of their rights., Identify the patients preferred language for
discussing health care., Identify whether the patient has a sensory or communication
need.,Determine whether the patient needs assistance completing admission forms, Collect
patient race and ethnicity data in the medical record, Identify if the patient uses any assistive
devices, Ask the patient if there are any additional needs that may affect his or her care,
Communicate information about unique patient needs to the care team.
Hospitals are responsible for ensuring that appropriate procedures and records are
maintained to facilitate accurate reporting, and to justify the admission. The list of criteria for
admission in the definition is complete there are no other criteria for admission. Under these
criteria, the fact that a procedure is undertaken in a procedure room does not, in itself, justify
admission. The Criterion for Admission is determined at the point of admission and does not
change even if the patients circumstances change.(Bau et., al, 2010) Improving Hospital
Admission and Discharge for People who are Homeless (March 2012) is a joint report from
Homeless Link and St Mungos. Commissioned by the Department of Health, the report was
produced to inform the National Inclusion Health Board to identify what more must be done to
prevent people at risk of rough sleeping being discharged from hospital without accommodation.
It draws on the direct experiences of staff and clients and presents recommendations for
improving practice. Homeless Link has also produced From Hospital to Home - steps for

hospital staff, a quick guide outlining key tips for admitting and discharging homeless people.
The report indicates that more than 70% of homeless people are being discharged from hospital
back onto the streets, damaging their health. But it also cites examples of best practice. It found
that NHS staff can improve health outcomes for homeless people and save the NHS money by
ensuring all patients have somewhere appropriate to stay when they are discharged from hospital.
In 2006 Homeless Link, along with the London Network for Nurses and Midwives, and in
partnership with the Department of Health and the Department for Communities and Local
Government developed theHospital Admission and Discharge Protocol Guidelines. (Homeless
Link and St. Mungos, 2012).The study assessed the appropriateness of admission in the
paediatrics departments in the 3 study hospitals did not exceed 2% using the PAEP auditing tool
the AEP rates the appropriateness of hospital admission using 17 criteria for the clinical stability
of the patient, necessity of medical interventions and planned surgical procedures within 24
hours. An admission is considered appropriate if 1 or more of these criteria are satisfied. The
PAEP is a modification of the AEP to be applied in paediatric settings, compared with an
average 11%25% in most countries. Formby et al. evaluated the medical records of paediatric
patients in Australia and found 24% of admissions were in appropriate. In Canada, Smith et al.
examined admissions to acute wards in a tertiary care paediatric facility and found 29% of the
admissions unnecessary. This suggests either that there is a lack of standardized case
management, with a tendency towards intensive treatments requiring admission even though
patients may not be in need of such treatments (e.g. using intravenous rehydration therapy to
manage mild/moderate dehydration) or else that the tool itself needs to be modified for Egyptian
clinical practice. That Reasons for inappropriate admissions as a proportion of inappropriate
admissions by study hospital and department This was considered the most important limitation

in this study. Unless hospitals use standardized case management for the common diseases in
paediatrics, application of the PAEP for admissions review will be limited. The 3 study hospitals
were general hospitals with similar bed capacities, representing the main hospital provision in
Egypt. The highest rate for inappropriate admissions was found in the departments of surgery
followed by the department of obstetrics/gynaecology, ranging from 20.7% to 78.8% in hospitals
A and B. The main reason for inappropriate admissions to these hospitals was undergoing the
necessary diagnostic or preoperative investigations in an inpatient rather than an outpatient
setting. This implies that system factors within the hospital are the main contributor to
inappropriate admissions and that patient-related factors such as age or sex were not associated
with inappropriate hospitalization. Accordingly, efforts to review and improve the system of
admission, possibly through review and related policies, will greatly affect the utilization of
hospital bed capacity. The route of admission, whether through the emergency room or
outpatient clinic, plays a main contributing factor in the analysis of inappropriate admissions.
Navarro et al. mentioned that scheduled admission had an odds ratio of inappropriateness 15
times that of unscheduled admission. A similar result was noted by Angelillo et al., where
planned admission was a significant predictor of inappropriate admission Along with confirmed
improvement in usage of hospital beds in these studies, the current study showed that the
percentage of appropriate admissions in the Alexandria hospital was high as it applied a protocol
that specified doing necessary investigations in the surgery and obstetrics departments before the
admission in an outpatient setting. With the rapid evolution of third-party payers in most
countries, including developing countries, it seems imperative to focus on research that supports
decisions and proper interventions for better hospital utilization. (Shehad et. Al, 2009) Nurse
educators are increasingly sensitive to the differences in learning needs of adult students in
7/28/2019 Duty Research (Chapter 1 3)
11/28
11
comparison to the traditional generic student and to the demand for advanced practice nurses.
For these reasons, the number and type of accelerated programs has increased. There is very little
in the literature related to RN-MSN programs. To determine the state of RN-MSN education, a
descriptive exploratory study was conducted to examine admission and curricular requirements
for RN-MSN nursing programs in the mid-Atlantic region. The findings reveal a wide variety of
educational practices. Over 74 percent of responding programs indicated that challenge exams
are used to accelerate students' progress; 59 percent reported participating in statewide
articulation agreements. Credit requirements for core and major courses were found to vary
dramatically, as do credits required to earn the BSN-MSN credential; the average number of
credits for program completion was 127. GPA requirements for admission ranged from 2.5 to
3.5. Findings from this study can assist existing programs to assess their comparability and help
developing programs understand emerging patterns in RN-MSN education. (Streubert, 2002)
The nursing admission process is completed within twenty-four hours of admission or
before discharge of the patient if hospitalization is less than 24 hours. An electronic patient care
documentation system, provides the admission database for the patient and it consists of an
admission history and a past medical-surgical history. The past medical and surgical history will
be prepopulated from the previous admission, if available. The nurse is responsible for
reviewing and verifying the accuracy of the prepopulated information. (John Dempsey Hospital,
2000) The Registered Nurse must initiate an individualized plan of care for every patient within
24 hours of admission. The plan will address nursing problems identified and include desired
patient outcomes. While a Licensed Practitioner Nurse or LPN may contribute to the plan of
care, subject to RN review. On admission, the database should be completed to the best of the
admitting nurses ability given the ability of the patient communicate and the availability of the

family. (University of Connecticut Health Center, 2003) Admissions and transfers should be
managed actively to ensure that all in patients receive the optimal care in relation to assessed
need and that capacity is maintained to support the whole system. A full assessment of need prior
to admission must be collaborated & carefully carried out to ensure that patients can be safely
and appropriately managed by the service and provided with appropriate treatment programmes.
All patients will have specific, measurable, achievable, realistic and timely (SMART)
rehabilitation goals that would have been communicated.
In order to enhance patient hospital admission process being implemented each hospital
will need to have a named Shift Coordinator who will take responsibility for decisions regarding
admission of patients to the hospital. The Shift Coordinator will be aware of each wards
capacity for accepting admissions/transfers, and it is his or her responsibility to collect checklist
information prior to admission of the patients. (Davis, 2013) With admission the nurse will:
Provide the patient and family an orientation to the unit and room environment. Review hospital
policies that govern visiting hours, prohibition of smoking, disposition of personal medications
and patient valuables. Instruct the patient in the use of the unit call bell, hospital phone system,
meal schedules and menu selection, and utilization of the hospital safe for valuables. Educate the
patient regarding the hospitals practice of universal precautions and proper disposal of wastes.
And lastly, address any specific questions/concerns on the part of the patient. (Shiela, 2012)
Gatbonton, (2012) explains that once the patients or patients family agrees to admission, a
relative will bring a slip with the patients name, age, sex, physician and working diagnosis to
the admitting section. Although most patients are free to select their own rooms, under some
special circumstances, assignments will correspond to the level of care the patient requires. If
you refuse admission, you will most likely be asked to sign out against medical advice (AMA).

A number of principles should underpin the development of an effective emergency and
elective admissions and discharge planning function. These include: 1. The provision of patient
centered services, which are accessible to the population without compromising safety, quality
and clinical standards, to the right people in the right location and at the right time. 2. Patients
should be consulted and included in all decisions about their care. 3. Clinical practice and care
should be based on the most up to date evidence. 4. Co-cooperation and clinical networking
between hospitals and between care groups are essential to optimize outcomes, particularly
where complex care issues are involved. 5. A service based on good clinical governance (i.e.
founded on continuous quality improvement, staff development, risk management and audit). 6.
Acute hospital services should be organized into three parallel streams of care interdependent of
each other. This involves a division of acute hospital services into emergency, elective and out
patients department/day care. 7. The pivotal role of the Primary Care teams should be
emphasized. 8. Early induction training of healthcare professionals in the relation to the
principles set out above. (HSIP, 2003)
A range of service processes have been identified as effective in managing the flow of
patients through acute hospital services which will be outline later. In addition, regular
communication, good relations and ad hoc liaison, between all those involve are essential to
effective bed management. Opportunities to provide an integrated service delivery system arise
at two important service points, before hospital admission and after hospital admission.
Before the patient is admitted to hospital: 1. There should be a clearly defined pre-
admission process, which applies to both emergency and elective admissions. 2. The decision to
access a hospital service should be shared between the patient and a member of the primary care
team (PCT) where possible. 3. Pre-admission services are integrated into secondary care service
7/28/2019 Duty Research (Chapter 1 3)
14/28
14
delivery. 4. Pre-admission assessment is conducted on an outpatient basis wherever possible;
some aspects of pre-admission assessment may be undertaken by the Primary Care Team if
appropriate. 5. Pre-admission assessment aims to optimize a patients health status before
planned admission to hospital. 6. At the pre-admission visit, the patient and his/her careers are
properly informed about their medical condition, proposed treatment and likely hospital
procedures. 7. The patients General Practitioner and/or the Primary Care Team with which the
patient is enrolled should be involved in the pre-admission process, as appropriate. 8. The
planning for the patients discharge from hospital should begin at the preadmission visit and co-
ordination of the patients care for both admission and discharge is commenced at the pre-
admission visit. 9. Patient information is coordinated and made available to all relevant providers
in an efficient and timely manner. 10. Pre-admission planning to facilitate day of surgery
admission where appropriate. 11. Pre-admission services may require a dedicated individual e.g.
Admissions Manager. (DOHC, 2011)
Hospitals, local authority housing teams and voluntary sector organisations should work
together to agree a clear process from admission through to discharge to ensure patients are
being admitted efficiently as soon as possible and are discharged with somewhere to go and with
support in place for their on-going care. This process should start on admission to hospital.
(Homeless UK, 2011) In St. Lukes Hospital, Quezon City they have an Admission Department
assigned and it serves as the patient's first stop when they enter the medical center. The protocol
that they follow is that first, their patients will be requested to present their doctor's admission
order sheet. But, in the absence of the doctor's admission order sheet or a doctor known to them,
a walk-in patient may be admitted through the Emergency Room. A Patient Information Sheet
will be filled out by the patient or either the relative wherein the information being requested will
7/28/2019 Duty Research (Chapter 1 3)
15/28
15
be needed by the attending physician and the medical center. Patients might be admitted to their
room of choice either: suite, private room, semi-private - 2 patients per room, or ward - 4 to 6
patients per room). Sign consent forms are needed to be signed for hospital care, exclusive
supply of medicines, limitation on outside diagnostic reports, release of information to insurance
companies and/or patient's employer, and waiver of responsibility on loss of valuables.
While admission is being processed and the room is being prepared, the patient & relative
will be asked to wait in the Admission Waiting Lounge and as soon as the room is ready, patients
will be escorted to the Nursing Unit by the admission aide. All patients are given an ID band to
be worn around the wrist for the duration of their stay at the medical center. (St. Lukes Medical
Center Quezon City, 2012)
In an admission protocol being implemented by the Angeles University Foundation Medical
Center located in Angeles, Pampanga they classify their admission as either: Direct Admission or
Emergency Room Admission.
Patients with doctors orders for Direct Admission after consultation may proceed
directly to the admitting section of the hospital for immediate processing. Upon patients arrival
at the Medical Center they will be assessed at the Emergency Department and checked into the
hospital at the Admitting Office and their staff will assist the patient in getting a room of their
choice or assign a room according to the patients medical need. Patients will be given their
admission documents, kit and an identification bracelet (ID) which they must wear until they
have been discharged from the hospital. The Staff assigned from the Admitting office will then
7/28/2019 Duty Research (Chapter 1 3)
16/28
16
escort the patient to their assigned room and make sure that they feel comfortable. Our resident
doctors and nursing staff will then visit the patient soon afterward.
On the other hand for Emergency Room Admission and in all pediatric cases the
following procedure has been observed: After the need for admission is verified, patients or their
authorized representative will be requested to accomplish a registration form. Upon submission
of the completed registration form, the admitting officer will provide information about the
availability of rooms, hospital policies and procedures, safety and security policies, and other
matters pertinent to admission. An admission agreement is printed out by the admitting officer to
be signed by the patient or his authorized representative. A nursing assistant will then come by to
bring the patient to their room. They have also included special considerations especially for
cases of communicable diseases which is an SOP (Standard Operating Procedure) are being
admitted at private rooms (AUFMC, 2012) The goal of each health care provider is to provide
care which is efficient, low in cost, and as safe as possible. One method of providing safe care is
by adherence to the specified protocols for nursing practice. Opponents to protocols feel that
adherence is limiting and merely an attempt by physicians to limit nurse practice scope. (Clark &
Dunn, 2000) Adherence to protocols and guidelines can be viewed in a positive way to define
nursing practice standards. Defined practice standards can aid in guiding care and defining the
role of nurse practitioners. Formulation of protocols in a collaborative fashion with physicians or
other health maintenance organizations is one positive method of establishing consistent
processes and levels of care rendered by all health providers. (Campbell, 2001)
Few interventions to increase adherence have been demonstrated through rigorous
research to be consistently effective. Because human behavior is complex, there is no single or
simple explanation for non-adherent behavior. However, there is growing consensus among
7/28/2019 Duty Research (Chapter 1 3)
17/28
17
researchers that the behavior of the health care provider has a significant influence on patient
adherence. Specifically, the health care professionals ability to communicate and explain
information while expressing warmth and concern for the patient appears to be associated with
increasing patient adherence. (Zuffaliger, 2010)
According to an article by Biomed Central they defined adherence as the extent to which
certain behaviour (for example, following hospital policies & guidelines, physicians orders) is in
accordance with the physicians' instructions or health care advice. Adherence can be influenced
or controlled by a variety of factors like culture, economic and social factors, self-efficacy, and
lack of knowledge or means. Guidelines that guide an individual's behaviour exist in a variety of
settings (including health care settings), but people do not always adhere with them. In order to
explain and understand the factors that influence an individual's adherence with certain
guidelines, which consequently may contribute to the adoption of certain behaviour, a number of
conceptual models or theories have been developed. One of the most commonly used models is
the Health Belief Model. (Efstathiou, 2011)

METHODOLOGY
A. METHOD OF RESEARCHThe design is a descriptive study. Descriptive research is used to obtain information
concerning the current status of the phenomena to describe what exists with respect to
variables or conditions in a situation. It is used to provide a systematic description that is as
factual and as accurate as possible. The investigators chose this design because they want to
determine whether the admission protocol is being followed and the amount of time spent in
each step.
B. POPULATIONThe population in this study will be the patients to be admitted at the UERM Hospital
from February to March 2013.
C. SAMPLING TECHNIQUEThe type of probability sampling to be used will be purposive sampling. This type of
sampling is constructed to serve a very specific need or purpose. The studys sample s ize, 30
individuals, are going to be selected from the patients to be admitted at the UERM Hospital
from February to March 2013.
D. DATAGATHERING INSTRUMENTThe tool is a checklist containing the admission protocol with which the actual admission
practice will be compared, indicating whether the activity is done or not done and the amount
of time spent in doing the activity.
