Other If by that you mean that you posted a duplicate question, then why not say so? Furthermore, it is considered good site etiquette to thank other users who offer assistance in good faith.

Radiology? BTW: if this is about radiology, there is a completely different meaning to "Liegendaufnahme". Hospitals/clinics differentiate between standing and prone examinations (Aufnahme in the sense of a visual record - like a CT, X-ray or MRT): http://tinyurl.com/ndswsjl

Admitting Station for Supine Patients

I do not have a reference; it is simply a description of what the Liegendaufnahmestation would be for.

neutral Elisabeth Moser : Liegende Patienten liegen doch nicht unbeding in supine position, d.h. am Rücken und gerade???

Admissions ward

This is the ward where in which patients are admitted to hospital. They may then be transferred to specialist wards (or discharged) after initial examinations.

"Liegend" only means that they get a hospital bed - ie. they are inpatients - namely those patients who spend the night in hospitals.

For more on admissions and inpatients, see the website cited below

Peer comment(s):
neutral BrigitteHilgner : "liegend" means that the patients arrive on a trolley (they can't walk).

That's as may be. They'll usually wheel you in on a trolley anyway, even if you can walk. Liegend and ambulant is more about inpatients and outpatients.

non-ambulant = not able to walk in to the hospital, i.e. arriving by ambulance on a stretcher.
I think a couple of the other contributors may have mistaken this for its opposite: 'not in an ambulance'

Hypothermia in elderly patients presenting to accident & emergency during the onset of winter... The incidence of hypothermia was higher in non-ambulant patients...
