An Explanation of Inpatient vs. Observation Status
https://www.verywellhealth.com › ... › Patient Rights › Patient Advocacy
Oct 5, 2019 - Since observation patients are a type of outpatient, some hospitals have a special observation area or wing of the hospital for their observation patients. But, many hospitals put their observation patients in the same rooms as their inpatients.

Thank you!
neutral Chema Nieto Castañón : Your Spanish definition is good but I don't think "observation unit" works here; most observation units are in-bed. "Sillones" are called vertical bays / vertical treatment rooms in English.

vertical treatment rooms / vertical zone/bays

The definition given by patinba is correct but he was mislead by "observación"; sillones are not actually observation units as such but more so treatment rooms where the patient is sitted rather than put on a bed -and where the patient can be "observed" for a short period of time. Vertical treatment rooms is how these are commonly called in English. See for instance https://mcdmag.com/2014/05/todays-er-designing-efficient-eme...

They return to the vertical zone for diagnostic testing and re-evaluation as needed.

The Emergency Room expansion will include the addition of 12 new “vertical treatment” bays, and eight private exam rooms.
