What is a Hospital Observation Unit?
A Hospital Observation Unit is a specialized area within a hospital designed for patients who require close monitoring and observation for a short period of time.

The observation unit at San Jose Hospital is staffed by a team of experienced nurses and doctors who are dedicated to providing compassionate and personalized care.
Who Needs an Observation Unit?
Many situations may require a stay in an observation unit. Some common reasons include:
- Sudden onset of symptoms: If you’re experiencing new or worsening symptoms, such as chest pain, shortness of breath, or dizziness, an observation unit can provide the necessary medical attention and monitoring to determine the cause and appropriate treatment.
- Post-procedure care: After certain surgical procedures, patients may need to be closely monitored for potential complications. The observation unit provides a safe and controlled environment for recovery, allowing healthcare professionals to track vital signs and intervene as needed.
- Diagnosis of a condition: If you’re experiencing symptoms that require further investigation, an observation unit allows healthcare professionals to conduct tests, perform procedures, and observe your response to treatment in a timely manner.
