Inpatient Admissions
Bed Access Center
UChicago Medicine maintains an innovative, centralized bed access center for quick and easy inpatient admissions. The center — staffed by RNs — can arrange for transfer of a patient at any time, seven days a week. Our referral counselors work closely with UChicago Medicine's admitting Office and UCAN, our emergency helicopter transportation service, to coordinate urgent and scheduled admissions. Our staff can:
- Locate the appropriate attending physician
- Make arrangements for the patient's transfer
- Obtain the correct authorizations
- Prepare financial paper work
- Supply a copy of the discharge summary after the patient is released
To request an inpatient admission, please call 773-834-2337 (BEDS).
