Abstract
OMU is an ambulatory medical unit providing a variety of short-stay invasive diagnostic and/or treatment procedures for a wide array of disease processes in an outpatient setting. The problem was identified after reoccurrence of same-day cancellations and/or unplanned admissions for preventable and non-preventable factors. The plan is to identify same-day cancelation and unplanned admission trends by implementing a data tracking tool followed by implementing or revising current practices to reduce those rates which will optimize unit utilization and decrease delays in patient care.
