BACKGROUND: While many UK hospitals have introduced an acute medical admissions unit (AMAU) to facilitate an efficient emergency admission process and reduce length of hospital stay (LOS), there is a lack of such data in the Republic of Ireland. Its latest data include numbers of acute care hospital admissions and admission rates per 100,000 population for the years 1990 to 2004, as well as numbers of beds per 100,000 population, and mean length of stay at acute care hospitals between 1960 and 2005. Beginning in 1984, the numbers of beds per 100,000 population shrank substantially. NHSDG Acute Hospitals, Cargenbridge, Dumfries. 2.1K likes.

In preparation for a study of hospital admissions, a systematic review Patients at Texas hospitals that have automated some of their health information systems appear to have fewer complications, lower death rates and reduced costs, according to a report in the Jan. 26 issue of Archives of Internal Medicine.

The Unit is the hub of UHL and maintains close relationships with Wards and Departments within UHL, across the Trust and throughout the local community.
