Short Stay Unit (SSU)


Explanation:
The Short Stay Unit (SSU) is a unit specialising in the care of patients with acute medical conditions, who expect to be discharged within 48-72 hours of admission. Any patients, who are assessed as suitable for short stay care by the doctors, will be transferred to SSU from the Emergency Department (A&E), the Acute Medical Unit (AMU) or the Ambulatory Emergency Care Unit (AECU).

This is the only thing I've been able to find, but I am not too sure if it makes sense, but it is in the context of psychiatry.
