Samsung Medical Center goes mobile with hospital admission process

Samsung Medical Center has introduced a mobile admission process to simplify patient hospitalisation. It now takes five steps down from 10 to get admitted to SMC. A patient will first receive access to the mobile admission site via text message. From there, they can select available rooms, complete a COVID-19 questionnaire and test, and sign administrative forms. After this, the patient can proceed to the centre's payment or registration desk where they will receive an ID wristband and hospitalisation guide leaflet. Once received, they can be admitted to the inpatient ward. Aside from providing convenience, the mobile admission process has also minimised the risk of infections.
