Value Set Concept Description |
Hospital area for the evaluation and treatment of adult patients whose conditions are of varying levels of acuity (e.g., critical care, ward-level care, step-down type care, etc.). Such a care area may be comprised of patients followed by different hospital services(e.g., coronary, medical, surgical, etc.). This care area may or may not include ''acuity adaptable'' or ''universal'' beds (i.e., this model of patient care allows a patient to stay in same bed during all phases of his care, from critical care through lower levels of care). |
