CLINICAL DECISION UNIT HELPS MONITOR EMERGENCY PATIENTS
Many patients who visit the Emergency Department aren’t necessarily good candidates for admission to the hospital—they are too sick to go home but not sick enough to check in for an extended stay. In response to this special group of patients, The Ohio State University Medical Center has opened a 20-bed Clinical Decision Unit adjacent to the Emergency Department. This new Unit allows staff the time to see a patient’s test results or how he or she is progressing before they decide whether a patient can leave or be admitted into the hospital. Patients have private rooms, receive attention from the Unit’s dedicated 40-person staff and are offered other amenities to make their stay as comfortable as possible.
