English term or phrase: Wallaroos
Environmental Rounding is an opportunity to teach and remind Caregivers about egress points. Opportunities for improvement continue to persist, requiring ongoing attention by every Caregiver, every day. Common issues found include:

Items stored on both sides of the hallway

Items, not in active use, left in the hallways

Stationary items, without wheels, in the hallway

Wallaroos down and not in use

Hola a todos: entiendo que debe ser algún elemento que se usa en hospitales pero no encuentro referencia alguna, entiendo que está roto y no se usa.

Saludos

agree  Althea Draper: The Wallaroos are cabinets that open up to become workstations, desks or medicine storage. Others are security cabinets that limit access to a select number of people.

Escritorio de pared


Explanation:
I guess it could be this kind of wall mounted desk used in hospitals.

https://www.medicalexpo.com/prod/carstens/product-78876-5790...

DESCRIPTION
Minimize constant commuting between nursing stations and patient rooms. All units meet ADA requirements and are OSHPD Compliant in California. Units have smooth, quiet operation, and a matte finish that eliminates fingerprints and glare. Keep patient/resident charts secure and protected with built-in key lock to keep records confidential. WALLAroos® are keyed alike for easy, yet secure access.

Y esta es la versión en español

In my opinion, the word down can be applied to wall desk but in the case of cabinets it would be more appropriate another word such as open, for example. That is why my preferred choice in Spanish would be escritorio de pared.

disagree  Althea Draper: This is too narrow. Yes, some do convert into desks, but some become workstations, some are medicine cabinets, and others are security cabinets.

  -> I know the suggested definition is narrow. However, the phrase is wallaroos down, which perfectly matches the description of a wall desk but not of a cabinet.
