I need help for a scene I'm writing

valarltdHere's the set-up:
Our Hero was badly beaten by five young men at approximately 4 PM. He was left in a public place, an alley. Someone found him about six-ish and took him to the ER. He had his ID, and his contact information in his wallet. His phone was smashed in the attack. He arrived unconscious, but regained consciousness about nine o'clock.
How and when would the ER let his listed next-of-kin and responsible party know he's there?
When he arrives? When he awakes?
Would they call? Would they send the cops?
I have cops showing up on the NoK's doorstep right now, is that right? or would they only do that if he died? NoK called the cops, after a 45 minute grocery run went to four hours.
Help!
