Availability of diagnostic tests drive success in hospitalist-run short-stay units
Date:6/10/2009

stic tests and the need for consultations had the greatest association with unsuccessful stays," said lead researcher Dr. Brian Lucas, of Stroger Hospital of Cook County and Rush University Medical Center, Illinois, USA. "From this we concluded that hosptialists who staff SSUs should focus administratively toward gaining access to services that their patients will need. Also, hospitalists can help emergency department physicians make admission-location decisions by discussing the potential needs of the patient prior to SSU admission."

"Among very-low or low-risk patientsthe types of patients who are typically admitted to SSUsconsidering what services patients will need is more important than further refining their clinical risk," added Lucas.
