A team of judges with Outpatient Surgery Magazine selected Overlake's Extended Recovery Unit (ERU) as honorable mention for the 2024 OR Excellence award in the Employee Engagement & Safety category.
The publication recognized Overlake’s ERU for its “Interdepartmental, Interdisciplinary ‘Symphony.’”
From the article: “At Overlake Medical Center … recovering same-day orthopedic surgery patients were intermixed on an inpatient unit. With discharge often taking six hours, it cohorted the patients in a new extended recovery unit (ERU) in the perioperative area. The ERU provides a better patient experience, more specialized care and quicker access to physical therapy, while allowing the inpatient unit to focus on patients requiring acute care.”
