In addition these measures would protect authorities and clinicians against potential consequences and lawsuits. In our country, until now, there were no edited manual , determining the manner in which these unidentified patients should be admitted, and it is not established that what specific measures, should be adopted by health service providing centers, in dealing with these group of patients, that prevent liability of hospitals and curtail further problems for patients. In this article while we examined this issue , we reviewed the points that must be taken into consideration, when these patients are admitted, and also a proposed proceeding designed for covering necessary issues in admission of this group of patients.
