In short
For a patient who was not referred to another centre, what is read is the referral or transfer line in the file; the hour of the ambulance does not take the place of this line. The call, the departure and the arrival are in the record on an ambulance delay. There is no fixed referral period and no fee amount in this text. A damages figure is not written.
Where the referral line is looked for in the file
The patient looks for the name of another institution in the epicrisis, the consultation note, the nurse's observation and the referral form. If the name, the ground and the person who wrote it stand, there is a line. If there is no line, the absence is not filled with a sentence remembered later. The absence does not of itself build a fault judgment either. For it to be built, a record that the transfer was found necessary and the blank are marked separately. If both are missing, it is not said that referral was necessary.
Article 16 of the Patient Rights Regulation says the patient can examine the file and the records and can take a copy. The examination can also be requested through a representative or a legal representative. The copy does not produce a line as if a referral had been made. If there is no line on the copy, the absence stands in the petition as an absence. If the copy has not come, it is written separately that it did not come. Not coming is not turned into an assumption that a referral was made.
If the heading of the form is not "referral", it is not counted as a referral having been made by changing the heading. A consultation can be another specialist's opinion at the same institution. The opinion is not having sent the patient to another centre. Sending is read only if a transfer sentence or a referral form stands. Discharge home is not referral to another centre. If the epicrisis says discharge, that sentence is not put in the place of the transfer sentence. If discharge and referral were written on the same day, the two are separate lines. One does not erase the other. A patient taken from intensive care to a ward is not counted as referred to another centre. A change of ward is an internal record of the same institution. If the institution's name changed, that change is the referral line. A difference of floor under the same name is not the question of this article. Two institutions in the same province and an institution outside the city are separated by the name written in the file. There is no distance or period on this page. If the name is not written, it is not completed as near or far.
The sentence that the transfer was found necessary
Article 8 of the regulation writes that the situation is explained to the patient in cases where there is no medical benefit in the patient remaining at the institution, or where transfer to another institution is necessary. It also says that the information required before the transfer is given, to the institution the transfer was requested from or that was found medically suitable, by the referring institution or by the authorities the legislation determines. The service continuing without disruption and without interruption is essential in the same article. This provision does not mean every admission will end with a referral. What is read is whether this necessity was written in the file.
If the explanation was made, the addressee of the explanation can stand in the note. If there is no note, it is not assumed that it was explained. The explanation is not the short name of the consent form. The definition of consent is in the article on informed consent. This page does not repeat that definition. The transfer decision is mentioned, within the practice of medicine, with Law No. 1219. A period is not written from that statute either. The statute does not carry an hour table for referral.
The writing that went to the other institution
If information went to the other institution, the writing that went is also in the chain. If the name of the institution, the information sent and the date stand in the writing, they are read. If there is no writing, the absence is not completed from the ambulance form. The other institution's acceptance note is a separate paper. If there is no acceptance, the patient is not treated as having arrived there. Arrival is read only if an arrival record stands. If there is a refusal of acceptance, the refusal is in its own sentence. The refusal does not erase the first institution's referral line. The two institutions' papers stand side by side.
To whom information was given in intensive care is a separate question. That question is in the article on information in intensive care. The referral line is not a copy of the sentence told to the relative. Having been told to the relative is not counted as a writing having gone to the other institution. A writing having gone is not counted as having been told to the relative either.
The general list of an application to the hospital is in the article on patient rights. The absence of a referral is not read as an item of that list. The application says in which file which line stayed blank.
The ambulance record does not take the place of the referral note
The ambulance's call, departure and arrival hours are not the short name of the referral form. Even if the patient came by ambulance, whether they were sent from here to another centre is a separate line. If the arrival hour is written, that hour does not build the referral note. If the referral note is written, that note does not measure the ambulance's delay. If the two stand on the same night, the two stay apart. The three-hour arrangement is not copied into this article. If the arrival institution on the ambulance form and the target institution on the referral form are different, the difference is marked. The difference is not summarised as if it were a single institution name.
If the transfer vehicle is the institution's own vehicle, that is a separate line too. The vehicle's departure hour does not take the place of the ground of the referral. If there is no ground, the hour does not invent a ground. If the consultation says let them go to another centre, this is an opinion. If there is no referral form after the opinion, it is left as there being no form. The opinion does not of itself produce the form. If the form exists, it is looked at whether the form is after or before the date of the opinion. If there is no date, an order is not invented. If the patient's relative says they requested a referral, the request is read if it stands in the file. If it is not in the file, the request is not assumed. The request does not take the place of the sentence that the transfer was medically necessary. If there is no sentence that says necessary, the request does not build a referral obligation. The companion and the duty paper can be an annex of the referral form. If there is no form, the annex does not build the form either. If there is a target institution on the duty paper, that name is read. The name is not the ground of the referral. A refused referral, if it is the writing that the other institution did not accept, that writing is kept. The writing does not mean the first institution never referred. If the first institution's referral line stands, it stands. The other institution's refusal stands separately. The two are not melted into the sentence that they were not referred.
The patient's signature to stay
If the patient signed to stay of their own request, the signature is read. If there is no signature, their staying is not counted as a request. If there is a request, the sentence that the transfer was found necessary and the signature stand side by side. One does not erase the other. The signature does not of itself prove that the transfer was medically unnecessary. The proof is read from the contradiction of the sentences in the file. While there is no contradiction, the signature does not create the referral line. If under the signature there is only approval of discharge or of admission, that sentence is not the sentence that writes that they preferred to stay. Which sentence is under which signature is read from the paper.
A patient who says orally that they wanted to stay, if they do not see this in the file, has a contradiction between the word and the paper. The contradiction is the absence of the signature. The absence does not show that the institution referred either.
A period and a fee difference are not written
This text does not put a minute, an hour or a day for referral. Article 8 of the regulation also mentions that, outside emergency cases, those who do not comply with the referral chain of the social-security legislation meet the fee difference in between themselves. There is no amount on this page. That sentence is not a damages figure arising from the absence of the transfer line. The referral procedure in the legislation is not rewritten here by being put in the place of the line in the file. The fee difference that arises on choosing the personnel, or on changing the physician, is a separate right in Article 9. That right is not made the short name of the referral form. The referral chain can be the step the social-security legislation shows. A clinical transfer is the sentence that writes that the patient's condition required another institution. If the two stand on the same form, the ground of the form is read. If the ground only says the referral chain, clinical necessity is not assumed. If the ground only says transfer is necessary, a fee difference is not treated as having arisen. The fee is read from the invoice if there is an invoice. If there is no invoice, an amount is not written.
If the note is to be read together, the contact route is open. The reading is not announcing every admission that was not referred as fault. The patient separates how many copies the referral form has and which copy stayed with them. If there is no copy, the absence does not by itself come to mean the form was never drawn up. Not being drawn up is written separately if the form is also missing in the file. If the form is in the file and not with the patient, this is a separate shortfall too. The shortfall does not change the content of the form.
The office in Çankaya does not choose the authority the file will go to.
Conclusion
What the patient who was not referred to another centre reads is whether the referral note stands in the file. The ambulance's delay and the sentence told to the relative are separate records. There is no period and no fee amount in this text. The framework is on the health law page. The basis is on Articles 8 and 16 of the Patient Rights Regulation.
