Treatment
Treatment occurs in one of our 12 private treatment rooms or two trauma
rooms. Once in the treatment area a nurse is assigned to be your primary
care coordinator. The ED doctor will evaluate your condition and order
any necessary tests such as blood work or x-rays. The doctor may also
contact your personal physician or medical provider. You will be asked
the same questions many times - this is to ensure accurate, safe and appropriate care.
When test results are available, the ED doctor will review them and discuss them with you. He or she will also develop and discuss with you a treatment plan based on the test results. Most patients are treated and released but it may be necessary to be admitted to the hospital or transferred to another facility for further care.
What happens at discharge?
You could be discharged and sent home, admitted to the hospital or transferred to another facility, depending on the appropriate course of care for you. If you are discharged to go home, you will receive instructions on how to care for yourself, referred to another doctor or advised to follow-up with your regular doctor.
You will also be given a phone number to call if you continue having problems. You may need to return to the emergency care department if you experience additional problems.
You are responsible for your own transportation home.
