Referral Policies and Procedures
Meredith Smildsin
What to Expect When You Make a Referral It is our goal to communicate with you as quickly as possible following the admission of referred patients. The clinicians will contact you by your preferred communications methods (phone, email, text, or any combination you prefer). The clinicians strive to communicate throughout hospitalization and when a significant change occurs in the patient’s care, including changes in the diagnosis or treatment regimen or the death of the patient.
Service was excellent. Toby was there for about ten days with pneumonia. He would have most likely died if he didn’t receive care at Auburn. Everyone was great. I came to visit almost daily from Columbus, Georgia, and each time had a positive experience with all of the staff from the receptionist to students to residents. Toby is doing better every day and I believe is going to be fine. ~ Sharon Anthony, Fortson, GA Teaching Hospital Client. 8

Additionally, you will be notified at the time the patient is discharged from the hospital, and discharge summaries will be emailed/faxed to you promptly. If you have not received the level of communication that you desire, please contact Meredith Smildsin at 334/844-5230.
