Delivery of information msg on admission process (on the day of hospitalization)

Once a room is allocated on the admission day, a kakaotalk message or a text message will be delivered, informing the time for admission process and the grades of rooms.
A patient room will be determined based on the circumstances such as situation of the hospital on the day of hospitalization and discharged patients. Therefore, the patient may be allocated to a room with the grade which was not of the patient's highest priority on the day of admission.

On the day of hospitalization, the patient gets to visit the hospital with a guardian during the time indicated by the information message and fills out the inpatient agreement at hospitalization/discharge counter of the administration office.
