Responsibilities The Medical Surgical Observation Unit at St.
Anthony Hospital has expanded. We are a specialized, fast-paced,
observation unit soon to be comprised of 16 adult observation bays
dedicated to responding to the needs of the patient who requires
ongoing diagnostic testing or observation prior to discharge or
admission. Our staff provide compassionate, high quality care that
is respectful, patient and family-centered, safe and
cost-efficient.
Our nurses are adept at working with fast paced changes and
coordinating care since stays are typically less than 24-48 hours
in this unit. Despite the rapid patient turnover, nurses in this
unit demonstrate their caring by quickly establishing a rapport
with the patient and involving them in their own care. The staff
experience the professional satisfaction that comes with making a
difference every day for their patients. The patient population
includes those experiencing chest pain, stroke, congestive heart
failure exacerbation, uncontrolled hypertension, dehydration, and
post-procedural recovery for cardiac catheterization and short stay
surgery.
The patient rooms in the department are procedural bays and include
computers in every room to facilitate bedside documentation and
medication verification. All beds are telemetry monitored. We
utilize Epic as our electronic health record. This unit is embedded
in the perioperative area with a central nursing workstation.
