Abstract
  • The King's Fund undertook a survey of the problem of administration of admissions of patients to hospitals, and of possible solutions. It concentrated largely on hospitals that were believed to have already established good practice in this field. A questionnaire was distributed to the 60 general hospitals in the United Kingdom which have over 500 beds and an accident and emergency department. The returned questionnaires were analysed with special reference to examples and opinions on good practice. The report has selected examples which could be useful to hospitals and their local general practitioners who are reviewing their admission procedures. Examples of common problems met, and innovations designed to overcome them, form the larger part of the report, and its recommendations are drawn from them.
