The unit typically cares for patients with a mix of diagnoses such as heart failure, COPD, pneumonia, post-surgical medical management, diabetes complications and other complex chronic conditions that require both medical-surgical care and continuous cardiac monitoring. A typical day includes receiving and giving structured handoff reports, reviewing telemetry rhythms, performing initial and ongoing assessments, collaborating closely with respiratory therapy, physical therapy, case management and pharmacy, and documenting care accurately in a modern EMR system.
