What You Will Do:

The Medical Innovation Unit or MIU for short is a new and exciting unit that opened on December 15th 2021. Opened with the goal of testing innovative technologies and care models to help Valley Health achieve its mission of serving its community by improving Health. MIU is currently a 30 bed medical telemetry (class 1) unit with ratios of 1:5 on days and 1:6 at night for nurses.

On this unit you will have the opportunity to work closely with the Doctor as MIU has its own dedicated physician for all 30 patients. The unit also has a dedicated Case manager. Thus, every day starting at 9:15 am the MD, the case manager, a pharmacist, and the primary RN round together in each patient’s room to review the plan for the day and the plan for the stay. This has created predictability for patients and family to get the information and options they need in a way that keeps everyone in the loop.

Innovative initiatives include, but are not limited to:

• Establishing interdisciplinary rounding at the bedside as the standard of collaboration on the unit
• Bringing LPNs back to the bedside and allowing them to practice to the fullest extent of their license
