Department Description
The Adult Internal Medicine Unit cares for medicine patients ranging from young adults to the elderly presenting with a wide variety of diagnoses. Patients found on this unit are often admitted for acute exacerbations of complex chronic conditions with a focus on pulmonary, gastrointestinal, sickle cell, renal failure, medical-psychological, and endocrine conditions.
In addition, patients are admitted for diagnostic work-up and treatment of new-onset infectious disease processes and palliative care. Continuous video camera monitoring and cardiac telemetry are also available, if needed, to provide comprehensive, safe patient care. This unit includes an innovative palliative care service, with trained staff and multidisciplinary resources.
There are four dedicated Comfort Care Suites, for terminally-ill patients where a low-tech, high comfort environment is provided. These suites provide accommodations for family and friends to remain with patients around the clock. Amenities such as comfortable seating and artwork mimic a home setting for patients' loved ones. Cultural traditions around dying are actively supported. The nurse plays an integral role in the Palliative Care team which includes Attending physicians, fellows, residents, medical students, social workers and chaplain services.
The Acute Care for Elders (ACE) service is also integrated into this unit. ACE is an evidence-based program that aims to improve the experience and outcomes of hospitalized older adults. The target population for this program is older adults who live in the community with some degree of independence at baseline, but who are cognitively or functionally frail and, thus, at risk for hospital-acquired disability.
The ACE order set includes nurse-driven prevention protocols, which focus on minimizing delirium and functional decline through cognitive stimulation and frequent mobilization. The ACE team work alongside the primary team of doctors, as they treat the acute medical diagnoses, with the goal of facilitating a safe and timely discharge back to the community.
Nurses coordinate many alternate approaches to care such as massage, acupuncture, pet and music therapy, offered through the UCSF Osher Center for Integrative Medicine.
Collaboration between our physician colleagues (teaching services and attending services) and multidisciplinary teams contributes to the high functioning teamwork found on this unit. The unit is also supported by the Geriatric Clinical Nurse Specialist (CNS), ACE RN Program Coordinator, Medical/Surgical CNS/Educators and an Oncology CNS. This cohesive team approach allows our nurses to provide a high standard of innovative care to patients.
Nursing based research that enhances nursing or improves patient care and safety is actively supported here. In addition, a nursing clinical leadership structure is provided to support and mentor nurses of all levels of experience.
