GH-CAU

GRA CAU is the Clinical Assessment Unit at the Grace (further info on CAUs).

GRA Specific CAU Information

At the Grace, the CAU is considered to be an inpatient location.

CAU patients are being treated as admitted patients rather than ER patients. They are being admitted under Family Medicine. The thinking was that they have been dealt with by ER but not deemed ready for discharge but they do not want them being seen as ER patients.

CAU pts admitted under Gap physicians are not followed by our program

CAU patients admitted under Gap physicians in CAU are not followed by our program. They are still considered to be CAU patients. They are not considered to be admitted under Medicine service and are not Medicine overflows.

Number of beds

10 - can accommodate to 12 beds

Collection instructions

admitted from CAU

If a patient is admitted from a GRA CAU:

• Previous Location: GRA CAU
• Previous Service: Family Medicine
• Pre-admit Inpatient Institution: GRA CAU

discharged to CAU

If a patient is discharged to GRA_CAU, enter GRA_CAU as dispo.

We made GRA_CAU available as dispo, but this raises questions about how the field should be treated in reporting. Trish emailed Mary Anne Lynch to find out how these units are actually intended to be used now. Ttenbergen 11:35, 2018 March 8 (CST) Trish, did you ever get an answer for this?
