University Medical Center is opening a new 5,000-square-foot "clinical decision unit" this week, adjacent to the emergency department.

The 24-hour unit's 16 beds are for emergency patients who require several hours of close medical observation but who may not need to be admitted immediately to a scarce inpatient bed. Kimberly Halloran is patient-care manager of the new outpatient unit.

UMC treats about 60,000 emergency patients and 4,500 trauma patients each year. It operates the only Level 1 trauma center in Southern Arizona.

The new unit is the first step in a major expansion of the hospital's emergency and trauma facilities, slated to open next year.
