Purpose

This unit provides comprehensive care for individuals recovering from strokes, myocardial infarctions (MIs), congestive heart failure (CHF), and those requiring continuous cardiac monitoring for conditions such as atrial fibrillation or dysrhythmias.

Staffing levels are optimized to ensure high-quality care, typically with a nurse-to-patient ratio of 1:4 or 1:5 during the day, slightly higher at night. This structure promotes patient safety, with particular focus on thorough bedside handoffs and continuous monitoring to ensure proactive and responsive care.
