Admitting Privileges
CHA physicians maintain admitting privileges at Samaritan Hospital in Troy. If you are admitted to a hospital other than Samaritan, CHA physicians are not authorized to provide care there, but we can help to arrange care from other physicians, and we can provide them with information about your medical history.
Hospital Rounds
If you need to be admitted on an emergency basis to Samaritan Hospital, you will be evaluated and treated by the physician on-call. The CHA physicians rotate “on call” duty so that there is always a physician available to care for you, should you need to be admitted to Samaritan Hospital.
In order to provide continuity of care for hospitalized patients, each of our CHA physicians is assigned to certain areas of the hospital. If you are hospitalized, you will be seen every day by the CHA physician who is assigned to your area (although this may not be your usual primary care physician).
Rest assured that your usual primary physician knows about your admission, and is kept informed about your medical status.
