Spinal Cord Injury Referral Process
Spinal Cord Injury Referral Process
Inpatient SCI Referrals
To refer a spinal cord injury patient to Craig Hospital, please
call our admissions department at 303-789-8344. Referrals can
be made by patients, families, physicians, case managers, claims
adjusters, hospital discharge planners, social workers, and others.
We encourage referring physicians to call our CNS Medical Group at 303-789-8220.
Medical records will often be required,
and the Admissions FAX number is 303-789-8699. Most of Craig inpatient
referrals occur very soon following injury, and early referral
is recommended.
Spinal Cord Injury Ventilator Patients
The referral process for patients on ventilators is the same as
other patients with spinal cord injury, except that we require
an on-site clinical consultation prior to clinical approval for
admission. Call Admissions at 303-789-8344 to begin the referral
and consultation process.
Re-evaluation/Outpatient
For patients new to Craig, call Maggie Rose, RN, 303-789-8344. For patients who have previously been treated at Craig and want to schedule a Re-evaluation, call Gale Powell at 303-789-8215. Prior to re-evaluation/outpatient, patients and case managers will be contacted by outpatient/follow-up staff to determine clinical needs.
Rehabilitative Neurosurgery Referral Process
If patients, families, or physicians want to make a referral or
want more information about syringomyelia, pain, tethered spinal
cord, spasticity, etc., please contact Charlotte Indeck, RN, in
the office of Scott Falci, MD, 303-761-5281 or e-mail to
cindeck@craighospital.org.
