The Outpatient Unit is an ambulatory unit where treatments and procedures that require only several hours of hospitalization such as minor surgeries and procedures and intravenous therapies for chronic patients are performed. Our staff is made up of medical professionals who are experts in their fields and of nursing and allied health care staff, including a social worker and dietitian.
The wellbeing of patients and their families is what guides us. In this respect, we work to provide professional, effective and safe treatment, in a pleasant and family-like atmosphere.
In the Internal Medicine Outpatient Unit, procedures such as the following are performed: paracentesis, thoracentesis, invasive procedures performed as part of invasive radiology, urological treatments such as local chemotherapy by heating the bladder using innovative technology with the Synergo system, MMC and BCG bladder irrigation, cystoscopy and biopsy of the prostate, and treatment of hard-to-heal wounds with the latest technology.
Other procedures performed in the Internal Medicine Outpatient Unit include allergy testing, intravenous medication therapy that ranges from three to six hours depending on the treatment protocol in a variety of fields, including treatment for congestive heart failure, rheumatology, endocrinology, neurology, pain, blood vessels and plasmapheresis.
In the Surgical Outpatient Unit, minor surgical procedures in a range of fields are performed:
Waiting time for surgery depends on that day's surgery schedule, which is determined by the surgeon subject to medical circumstances and/or unscheduled urgent procedures. This may lead to changes in the scheduling of surgeries and, therefore, you should be prepared to remain for several hours, sometimes beyond what was planned.
Admission and treatment stages
Upon arriving, go to the admissions desk, located at the entrance to the operating room in Inpatient Building 2, to open a file. Bring a payment authorization form from your medical insurer (HMO), the referral from your physician, ID card, and all documents the doctor or secretary asked you to bring.
Do not bring valuables with you.
Process for entering the operating room
When it is your turn to undergo the procedure you came in for, you will be taken into the operating room by an orderly, where you will be admitted by the nursing and medical staff. You will be asked to change into a hospital gown.
Depending on the surgery schedule and any constraints, you will be brought into the operating room.
At the end of the surgery/procedure
You will be taken to the recovery room so that your recovery from anesthesia can be monitored, the surgical dressing (if any) checked, and pain assessment performed. After being examined by the anesthesiologist and based on the anesthesiologist's decision, you will be taken by an orderly to a room in the Outpatient Unit or, according to the instructions of the surgeon, to an inpatient department.
Observation and nursing assessment following surgery
When you arrive at the Outpatient Department, you will be admitted by a member of the nursing staff and a nursing assessment of your condition will be performed. Then, you will be able to drink and have a light meal, and if necessary, receive a pain reliever.
Depending on the criteria for discharge of an outpatient, you will be able to be discharged home after being educated on the medical recommendations written in the medical discharge summary.
Discharge home
Please note! Recovery time following surgery differs from patient to patient.
After the decision to discharge you from the unit has been made, you will receive a discharge summary, explanation and education about follow-up and/or treatment at home, in the community (HMO/institution) or at the hospital's outpatient clinics.
For the convenience of patients and their companions, there are places of worship on the hospital premises: a synagogue and a prayer area for Muslims. Please contact the nursing staff to guide you. |
