Planned Unit Changes -

18 CSSM beds will reopen on Monday 7/20/20 for 24/7 care of NON Covid + and NON Covid PUI.

This area will be managed by Chris Thornton.

Andrea and team have done a great job to add PYXIS capacity to the CSSM2 device to allow for this transition.

 

IMPORTANT NOTE - At this time, all 36 beds are still designated as the CSSM unit but the use of these beds will change as follows:

Beds 1-18 will convert to CCU/PCU (initial plan is to designate beds 1-7 as the ICU beds) - beds 1-18 will be staffed 24/7

Beds 19-36 will be a traditional Cath Lab pre/post op area

SHRU beds 1-10 will be used as the EP pre/post op area

 

3NE will reopen on Monday 7/20/20 for 24/7 care of Covid + and Covid PUI.

This area will be managed by Catherine Brown.

 

We have a team adjusting PYXIS stock, labeling products for patient safety, and exploring options in Cerner to more easily differentiate if/when a patient is designated to be in an ICU bed.

Thanks for your patience as we continue to expand capacity for Covid + and those patients under investigation.
