Established in early 2024, the Clinical Decision Area (CDA) was created to improve patient throughput and address the growing needs of the community.
Marie Berrette, BSN, RN; Leslie Eze, FNP, MSN, RN; Valerie Canela, BSN, RN; and Lou Tra, BSN, RN (pictured) embody the collaborative efforts to optimize patient flow especially during high census challenges.
With structured workflows and targeted discharges, the CDA serves as a vital bridge—delivering timely care for patients requiring under 24-hour therapies while alleviating ED crowding and expediting inpatient admissions.
