The Emergency Department Observation unit at St. Anthony Hospital is a 16-bed department with volume of more than 300 patients a month. We take any patient needing further time to be observed from the ED. Our top two diagnoses are chest pain and abdominal pain. We also accept patients that are sent from surrounding free standing EDs. Our department takes patients with an OBS status and at times, when needed, we may take overflow from other departments. If a patient needs more care than what can be done within 24-48 hours, we will transfer to an inpatient unit. The department’s mission is to deliver safe quality care to every patient in a timely manner.
