Admissions & Hospital Stays

Before Your Stay

Before being admitted into the hospital, you'll need to be evaluated first by one of our doctors.
- If you have not made an appointment already, please book an appointment using our Request an Appointment page or Find a Doctor page.
- If you require hospitalization, your doctor will give you a Hospital Admission Reservation form after the examination.

If you are a first time or new patient to TMUH, you will be required to go through the New Patient Registration process. Please refer to the New Patients page for more information.

Remember to:
- Bring your appointment confirmation page, National Insurance card (if you have it), and another form of personal identification (passport or photograph ID).
- Look through the new patient registration process for the day of the appointment and how to get around TMUH.

TMUH is easily accessible at the heart of downtown Taipei and 10 minutes on foot from the Taipei 101 MRT station. We also offer free shuttles from various MRT locations and have a parking garage open 24 hour 7 days a week. Please view our Getting to TMUH page for more information.

If you are a first time or new patient to TMUH, you will be required to go through the New Patient Registration process. Please refer to the New Patients page for more information.
Refer to our TMUH map to find your appointment room or ask a volunteer - indicated by the pink vest they wear - for help.
Go to your appointment examination room and check-in by inserting your NHI card into the check-in tablet kiosk on the wall in front of your appointment room. Please enter the examination room once your number appears in big red numbers under Current Patient on the check-in tablet.
During the appointment:
- The nurse/doctor will ask for your NHI card.
- If you require hospitalization, your doctor will give you a Hospital Admission Reservation form (click here to see an example) after the examination.
- It is recommended that you go to the Inpatient Registration desk to complete the Hospital Admission Registration process immediately after your doctor's visit.

The Inpatient Registration desk is located on the first floor of Building 3, across from Starbucks and Wellcare Pharmacy.
Hospitalization personnel will assist you in completing the necessary paperwork, scheduling the date of admission, and reserving the type of room you would like to stay in.
- If you would like to know more about the cost of our different room accommodations, please email us at ihc@h.tmu.edu.tw

During the reservation process, you will be asked to fill out an informed consent form (click here to see an example). Remember to bring the form back the day of your hospital admission.
- On the morning of your hospitalization, please keep your phone turned on and close by. Our personnel will be contacting you to confirm your reservation as well as inform you of the reserved room number.

On the day of your admission, you will be asked to report to the Hospitalization Admission counter - typically around 1 or 2 PM.
- The counter is located right next to the Inpatient Registration desk, across from the Wellcare Pharmacy and Starbucks in the lobby.
Please remember to bring the following with you:
- Hospital Admission Reservation form (click here to see example)
- Informed Consent (filled out and signed) (click here to see example)
- Photo Identification i.e. Passport AND (if you have it) Alien Resident Card
- Anesthesiology Informed Consent (provided by the doctor if you require this)
The hospitalization personnel will assist you in filing the paperwork and checking you in.

After you are checked in, you will receive a green slip (click here for an example) detailing other steps you will need to complete before being taken to your room. Please complete all steps. If you require assistance, another hospital staff or volunteer personnel - indicated by pink vests - will gladly lead you through the process.
If you have completed all steps, you can head directly to your room by using the elevators located next to the Hospitalization Admission counter.
- Once at the ward, nurses at the nursing station will help familiarize you with the surroundings as well as inform you of any additional preparations needed for your medical procedure(s).

Pick up your medication at the hospital pharmacy located across from Starbucks. The Inpatient Medication pick-up window is on the very right side of all the pharmacy windows.
- Unlike for outpatients, inpatients are not assigned a pick-up number and can go directly to the Inpatient window.

The Medical Services Information desk is located in Building 3, first floor lobby, next to the new patient registration desk.
- Please refer to TMUH map or ask a hospital personnel to direct you.
You can obtain copies of the following: outpatient emergency medical records, discharge summary, x-ray reports, laboratory test reports, pathology reports, and your entire medical record at TMUH.
You will require:
- Two IDs with photographs (Passport, National Health Insurance (NHI) card, or driver's license)
