The Admission Unit (AU) is a fast-paced 18 bed unit that serves stable adult medical/surgical and cardiac patient populations. Our hybrid patient population is comprised of Inpatient, Observation and Clinical Decision Unit (CDU) patients who arrive from the ED or as direct admits from physician offices/regional facilities and receive care from our Internal Medicine teams. We have a small subset of patients (CDU) who remain under the care of the ED physician overnight and receive stress testing in the morning. The AU staff work closely with a multidisciplinary group of providers and take pride in delivering episodic patient-family centered care while focusing on facilitating discharges and throughput to decompress the ED.
