Managing patients in assessment units

In Nervecentre, assessment units are for patients who need an initial assessment or planned review, but they aren't staying overnight. For example, for patients visiting Medical Assessment Units (MAU), GP Assessment Units (GPAU), or Same Day Emergency Care (SDEC). Your organisation decides how they use assessment units in Nervecentre.

You can admit and discharge patients from assessment units. You can transfer patients between wards, beds, and consultants.

You can view and manage visits to an assessment unit from Patient Detail > Patient admin > Show pathways > Inpatient. Visits to an assessment unit show 'Assessment' in Visit type.
