Spanish term or phrase: citación (context)
I think this is when a patient is called to hospital, for instance patients who have been on a waiting list and are then called in, but I have no idea what the "proper" term is for "citacin" in this context, since I have never heard of being "summoned to hospital".

"citacin, preadmisin, recepcin, admisin, ingreso y alta de pacientes en el Hospital"

Thanks for any suggestions!

first you set up the appointment with your physician or he/she sets it up for you. Then you go to your appointment where you fill out the pre-admission paperwork. At this point, you do your labwork, if any, before being admitted. You are sent to a room or set up to wait for your procedure then you are discharged.
