Meriter expands temporary patient holding unit from 4-8 to 13 beds to manage hospital admissions.

Meriter will make permanent a temporary patient holding unit opened in July, which monitors patients waiting for open hospital beds. The unit, initially housing 4-8 patients, aims to ease the flow of patients from ERs to beds. Over 1,900 patients have been through the unit, with about 5 per week avoiding full hospital admission. The unit will soon expand to 13 beds and handle about half of hospital admissions.
