Admission The American Hospital Association defines admissions as persons, excluding newborns, accepted for inpatient services during the survey reporting period. An admission (also sometimes referred to as an addition) to a mental health organization is defined by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration’s Center for Mental Health Services as a new admission, a re-admission, a return from long-term leave, or a transfer from another service of the same organization or another organization.
