Why don't we transfer to level 2 like we do now. That is when I think they should be moved to the 3rd floor regardless of their original diagnosis.

3rd floor is not intended to be an extension of Cluster 7. We can have cannulas and iv fluids up there. If they are stable, regardless of original diagnosis, they will be eligible for transfer. We want to minimize, as much as possible, them going up and then having to come back down. I know it's going to happen here and there, but it will be less stressful on parents, if once they go up, they stay up.
