Key functions of our Emergency Department include:
- Streamline traffic flow and ensure that patients are more quickly and precisely directed for the appropriate level of care, whether that is an operating room or a hospital bed.
- Shift increasingly away from the primary care so common in inner-city emergency rooms and toward the critical care that represents true emergencies.
- Function as an open space, better enabling physicians and nurses to more closely monitor patients.
- Utilizes the most modern equipment, such as a new CT scan and ancillary services including filmless radiology.
- Uniquely allow physicians outside the Brookdale ED to link through the internet on a personal computer for radiology, EKG or other patient readings.
