The Ambulatory Care Unit (ACU) at TBRHSC provides services
for eight separate clinics:
 |
- Colposcopy
- Cystoscopy
- Dermatology
- Endoscopy
- Fracture Clinic
- Hemophilia
- Medical Surgical (Minor Medical/Surgical Procedures)
- Ophthalmology
- Pre-Admission (Pre-Surgery Preparation, Diagnostics and
Patient Education)
|
Specialists at each clinic rely on ACU to coordinate a variety
of TBRHSC resources including nursing and support staff, special
equipment and examination rooms, xray, and lab tests for procedures
that need to be performed in a hospital setting. ACU is primarily
an outpatient unit for patients who do not require admission
for their procedures and tests.
ACU operates completely on a referral basis, and appointments
to all clinics are made directly through the physicians’
offices (with the exception of the Fracture Clinic which accepts
referrals from Emergency Physicians). Patients do not directly
book appointments with ACU.
Hours of operation of ACU depend on volume and the day of
the week, but generally reception is open from 7:30 am to
5:00 pm Monday to Friday. Individual clinics within ACU operate
on their own schedules.
All ACU services are located at 2 clinic locations on Level
2 of TBRHSC, except Endoscopy, which is located on Level 3
adjacent to Surgical Day Care.
