Department Description

The Adult Medical Transitional unit provides care to a diverse adult patient population with an emphasis on acute and chronic medicine patients. These patients require more frequent interventions (every two hours) and more nuanced nursing assessments. Patients transition from the adult critical care units, Post Anesthesia Care Unit, Emergency Department and acute care floors to this unit, depending on their condition and nursing care needs. Patient population includes but is not limited to end stage renal disease, DKA, new arrhythmias, respiratory compromise, sepsis screening and infectious diseases. Patients on 14 Moffitt commonly have central lines, wound care, nasogastric tubes, Q2 medications, electrolyte replacements and require maximum assistance for activities for daily living. There are 30 beds with telemetry and continuous pulse oximetry monitoring capability and 2 additional acute care beds that are activated pending hospital capacity. Nurses on this fast-paced, high acuity unit are a highly motivated group of professionals providing outstanding care to the entire patient populations served. Teamwork among our nursing staff, as well as physician and nurse collaboration, is well tuned and allows workflow to occur optimally.
