Harbor:Observation placement
WE NO LONGER HAVE OBSERVATION STATUS/PLACEMENT. Patient needs to be admitted per Utilization Management/Interqual Guidelines.
- Goal of our observation/Short Stay is admission avoidance
- Consider a brief additional stay in the ED if it will prevent an admission
- All Placement patients should go here unless explicitly instructed by the OBS attending to admit due to specific needs
- (Previous: When boarding >5 obs patients in ED, admit DHS empaneled OBS-level patients)
