Abstract

Cardiology patients--direct and ED admits--go to Lancaster General Hospital's Cardiology Admissions Unit (CAU) to receive care until a bed is available in an inpatient unit. The CAU yields high patient volume, positive patient and staff feedback, decreased ED length of stay, prompt initiation of treatment protocols, and more effective discharge planning.
