Introduction
How it Works
Procedures:
There are many procedures and systems in place that make the
Emergency Room run as smoothly as possible:
also have to worry about not overloading one team with harder
patients, they need to make sure the acuity levels are as evenly
distributed as possible according to the available resources and
team members that are working each shift. So, as you can see there
is a lot that goes into making the Emergency Room run smoothly
and they really do try their best to make sure that every patient gets
the best possible care.
5. Another thing that most commonly gets blamed on the
Emergency Room is the wait time once you get put into a
room. The nurses and doctors do the best they can to get
you in and out as fast as possible but a lot of diagnoses
require further lab testing. The lab works at the speed the
lab works, it is not the doctors fault how slowly they get the
results and they cant make it go any faster; so if correctly
placing the blame, it is the laboratory's fault not the
Emergency Room or its physicians.
6. Every Emergency Room at any hospital is obligated to see
and stabilize any patient no matter their insurance or ability
to pay.
7. Most hospitals dont take down insurance or payment
information when youre checking in. They wont ask and
you dont need to ask. They have people for that very thing.
Those individuals will come and chat with you about a
payment plan and will take down all pertinent information
once you are already in to see the doctor and the ball is
rolling on your diagnosis and treatment.
8. There are many different staff that work in the
Emergency Room not just nurses and doctors. There
are Nurse Practitioners, Physicians Assistants (PA),
Respiratory Therapists, Techs and many others. All
