Emergency Rooms (ER) : Presented By: Adam

The Emergency Room, also known as the Emergency Department, is the area of a hospital responsible for initially treating patients during emergencies. The ER provides diagnosis and initial treatment for patients' emergencies. The emergency room process involves triaging patients based on urgency, a medical exam, determining if the patient requires admission, discharge, or another disposition. Solutions for overcrowding at ERs include increasing capacity, staffing, dividing the emergency department, installing updated equipment, and building smaller dispensaries in towns.
