Abstract
Implementing an Acuity Adaptable Unit (AAU) model of care requires thoughtful planning. The model has many benefits, including improving satisfaction, improving quality outcomes, and decreasing workload for ancillary staff. We will provide an overview of how to plan and implement an AAU while also incorporating a major hospital expansion.
