How and why to pre-register with the hospital before knee replacement surgery You will need to pre-register in the admitting department of the hospital prior to your surgery day. An appointment will be made for you. Plan about 1 hour for this visit. The admitting department is found in the front lobby of the hospital. Usually there are hospital volunteers at the information desk to assist you in finding this area. At this visit you will be providing personal information to the hospital which is needed to provide appropriate service during your stay here. In addition, you will be seen by a pre-admissions nurse who will review your medical history and medication so that this info is appropriately listed on your hospital record. Please bring the following information with you when you pre-register: • Your insurance card • Photo I.D. • Advance Directives, and Living Will if you have one • List of all medications and the correct dosages of these meds #orthopedics #kneereplacement
