Hospital Medicine Unit (H6)
H6 is a medical/surgical 30 bed unit. Patients have a variety of diagnosis and our unit is unique in that many physician teams are involved in patient’s care. Hospitalists are always available on the unit to care for our patient population. Telemetry is utilized for patients presenting with cardiac concerns. Patients may have central lines, PICC’s, Mid-lines and PIV’s, may require heparin drips and/or foley catheters. It is a great place to work! At times, we also utilize RN/LPN teams as well.
Medical Specialties Unit (F6)
F6 is a 30-bed medical/surgical patient care unit that provides 24 hour care to acutely ill patients as well as palliative care for specialty patients and hospice patients. F6 provides care to a wide variety of patients such as Liver Disease, End-Stage Renal Disease, Respiratory Conditions, Immune Systems Diseases, Gastro-Intestinal Disease, and Musculoskeletal/Integumentary Diseases. Remote telemetry is available for patients who are presenting with clinical cardiac concerns who present with a history of cardiac disease. We also provide pre/postoperative care as well. The patient population ranges from young adult to geriatric.
Medical Surgical (A4/A7)
A4/A7 are a combined adult medical surgical units totaling 27 beds collectively. These unique units with smaller bed capacity and medically stable patients with predictable care needs support the opportunity to fully implement the Registered Nurse (RN) and Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) RN/LPN team model of care. A shared charge RN will oversee shift to shift operations of both units, allowing for staffing flexibility tailored to meet the changing care needs of those populations.
The 14 bed Transitional Care Unit on A7 will provide care to patients who are deemed ready for acute care discharge from UAMS by their physician and have experienced a delay in discharge. The 13 bed Short Stay Unit on A4 will provide care to medical-surgical patients that meet specific criteria for stability, and are anticipated to discharge within 48 hours optimally.
