Emergency Department protocols

Emergency Department protocols are standardized procedures designed to ensure patient safety and efficient care. Upon arrival, patients are quickly triaged to assess urgency, so those with the most critical needs are treated first. Medical staff follow specific steps for diagnosis, treatment, and stabilization, utilizing protocols for common emergencies like heart attacks or injuries. Documentation is maintained meticulously. Throughout care, communication among staff is clear and coordinated. Once stabilized, patients are either admitted for further treatment or discharged with instructions. These protocols help deliver timely, quality care while managing limited resources effectively.
