Department Description
The Adult Medicine Unit 14Long is a 34 bed inpatient medical unit
that provides care for patients ranging from young adults to the
elderly presenting with a wide variety of diagnoses. The unit has
the ability to admit patients requiring telemetry and/or continuous
pulse oximetry.
Patients found on this unit are often admitted for acute
exacerbations of complex chronic conditions with a focus on
pulmonary, gastrointestinal, medical-psychological, and endocrine
conditions. Patients can be admitted for diagnostic work-ups,
treatment of infectious disease processes, palliative care and end
of life care. In addition, this unit administers chemotherapy to
treat solid tumor patients admitted to the hospital with an
emphasis on treating sarcoma patients.
This unit is home to an innovative palliative care service with
trained staff and multidisciplinary resources. There are two
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. 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.
In addition to Palliative Care, nurses on this unit attend 16 hours
of End-of-Life Care education and complete Oncology Nursing Society
Chemotherapy Certification after approximately 6 months to a year
on the unit.
Medicine nurses exemplify teamwork in this fast-paced unit. They
participate daily in multidisciplinary rounds which include
nursing, attending physicians, case managers, social worker,
pharmacists, nutrition and rehabilitation services.
