Compare the patient’s history with the admission criteria to determine whether the patient meets criteria for admission
After reading Chapter 8 – Refining the Continuum of Care, we will use the criteria from the case study regarding admission criteria and history and physical report (see screenshot below). Review the criteria set titled “Admission Criteria” and the figure “History and Physical Report.”
Compare the patient’s history with the admission criteria to determine whether the patient meets criteria for admission to the hospital. To qualify, the patient must meet at least one criterion in the severity of illness and one criterion in the intensity of service.
