Patient Face Sheet Templates

June 22, 2019

Paula was expecting her third child and about to reach her term. One day, when her husband wasn’t at home, she suddenly felt pain in her lower abdomen. She didn’t pay much heed to the pain and decided to wait for her husband, Jamie. By the time Jamie arrived home, it was already 1 am, and Paula was unable to cope with the pain she had.

Jamie rushed to the hospital with his wife, where the gynecologist admitted Paula, saying she was in active labor. The doctor wrote on the admission paper and handed it to Jamie to complete the admission process. Jamie went to the admission counter, and admission was processed. After an hour or so, Paula gave birth to a beautiful baby girl.

Like Paula and Jamie, we all experience hospital admissions ourselves or of our loved ones. Hospitals have a proper protocol for the admission procedure, which one must undergo, and all the formalities must be fulfilled. Once the paperwork is done, a smooth and hassle-free hospital stay is guaranteed.

What is a patient face sheet?

First, we may have noticed a color-coded or white sheet in admission papers. This sheet contains the admission information about the patient. It is termed a patient face sheet. Since the sheet is placed on top and is the first sheet you see in the file of the admitted patient, you can relate to its justified name.

What are the details mentioned in the patient’s face sheet?

  1. The patient face sheet is a very informative document that gives complete information about the patient’s particulars during his hospital stay.
  2. A patient face sheet, as mentioned earlier, consists of information about the patient and the admission details.
  3. Like any other official document, the sheet includes the patient’s name, age, and other details.
  4. The patient’s face sheet also mentions the guardian/attendant who came for admission, emergency contact details, and the patient and attendant’s address.
  5. The relationship of the attendant with the patimustg to be mentioned in the patient’s face sheet.
  6. The department or the ward in which the patient is admitted is also mentioned, along with the name of the treating doctor or specialist. For example, a laboring patient’s face sheet will include the gynecology/obs department with the consultant’s name.
  7. The face sheet also includes details about the admission after the primary information. The chief diagnosis and reason for admission are usually mentioned in bold letters.
  8. If the patient’s medical expenses are covered by the insurance company, the details of the insurance are also mentioned on the front of the admission papers.
  9. The signature of the admission issuing authority is also required to make this document official.
