Patient hospital report
This must be a department of the hospital but I can't figure out what:
"non disponibili posti letto in ORI".
(the patient is suffering chest pains and has had various tests; full blood count, glycaemia etc.)
"non disponibili posti letto in ORI".
(the patient is suffering chest pains and has had various tests; full blood count, glycaemia etc.)

Intensive short-stay observation (Unit) /or Intensive short-term observation (Unit)
I think *Osservazione Rapida Intensiva* should be the same as *Osservazione breve Intensiva*
I posted two options because also Intensive short-term observation* is used (see last link).

Hallo Suzanne, after reading the slide # 69 (have a look at it) of a/m link http://acemc.it/sito/eventi/doc/relazioni/BPC/REALDI ACEMC 2... - the same link found by the JudyC - it seems that in Italian they use two terminologies
i.e.
OBI Osservazione Breve Intensiva in PS (ER) and
ORI Osservazione Rapida Intensiva in Medicina d'Urgenza
I guess if they use different terms or acronyms there might be a reason or it is very likely the difference is used to differentiate the Hospital Ward where patients are observed. (Outside Italy it may be different, on wiki I've found *intensive care unit* - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intensive-care_unit -).
Considering the above, I agree with Judy and I will propose now the following option: AMU (Rapid Intensive Observation)
As you see, in my view, AMU is perfect to identify Medicina d'Urgenza) as most widely used according to the links posted and I would insert into brackets (Rapid Intensive Observation) or (O.R.I. Rapid Intensive Observation) or again if you prefer add a bottom note about O.R.I. on the page.

(slide 65)
The English equivalent seems to be Acute Medical Unit
[..] One solution that has been growing in popularity is the rapid intensive observation of the patients in acute hospital setting within Internal Medicine wards. This model has been otherwise defined with different terminology, but the most widely used name is Acute Medical Unit (AMU).
