Description: The Clinical Decision Unit is designated as an adult short-stay unit specifically for hemodynamically stable patients in observation status. Patients in the unit should be observed for up to 23 hours. Patients are appropriate for the unit when the scope of treatment exceeds 6 hours. Clinical decisions should be made prior to the 23rd hour for full admission or discharge. In the event a patient in the unit is changed to a full hospital admission, physician orders should be entered into the documentation system by the admitting physician prior to the 24-hour mark. The unit has 12 beds with patient ratios of 5:1. Patient care techs and charge nurses are available for staffing. Equipment includes iPhone/iMobile, Welch Allyn VS Machine, Hoyers, vein finders, kangaroo pump, Pxysis, Mobilab, and Virtual Admit RN. Vital signs are monitored every 4-8 hours depending on the level of care. There is continuous cardiac monitoring conducted remotely. The dress code requires royal blue scrubs, with black or blue pants acceptable, and no T-shirts allowed. There are awards and recognition opportunities such as the Daisy Award Program and Orbit Recognition. This is an opportunity to work in a new unit opening soon, which promises an engaging environment with advanced technology and experienced staff.
