What to Expect:
The Acute Care Unit has 23 beds; all specialties admitted: Peds, palliative, cardiac, surgical, medical, psychiatric, etc. Critical patients are usually transferred to tertiary care centres.
Schedule
The hospitalist will be scheduled for a one-week rotation, from Friday to the following Friday’s handover, providing 24-hour care for all existing and new patients. They will work closely with the Active Care staff and Discharge Planner to ensure appropriate patient management and will participate in multidisciplinary rounds every Tuesday at 11 a.m. to plan ongoing care and patient disposition.

In the evenings and overnight (17:00–8:00), the ED physician will write holding orders and manage the patient until morning. Verbal handover may occur that night or the next morning, as appropriate.
