Medical Surgical (A4/A7)
A4/A7 are a combined adult medical surgical units totaling 27 beds collectively. These unique units with smaller bed capacity and medically stable patients with predictable care needs support the opportunity to fully implement the Registered Nurse (RN) and Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) RN/LPN team model of care. A shared charge RN will oversee shift to shift operations of both units, allowing for staffing flexibility tailored to meet the changing care needs of those populations.
The 14 bed Transitional Care Unit on A7 will provide care to patients who are deemed ready for acute care discharge from UAMS by their physician and have experienced a delay in discharge. The 13 bed Short Stay Unit on A4 will provide care to medical-surgical patients that meet specific criteria for stability, and are anticipated to discharge within 48 hours optimally.
