Introduction:
Broward Health plans for the construction of new freestanding emergency department in USA.
Features:
This facility will be fully equipped to offer a comprehensive range of emergency medical services, with adult emergency care.
One of the advantages of a freestanding emergency department is its potential for shorter discharge times. On average, patients can expect a quicker discharge, typically between 90 to 120 minutes, compared to the longer wait times often experienced in a traditional hospital-based emergency department, which can average around 220 minutes.
The medical services that will be available at the new freestanding emergency department.
• The facility will be staffed by experienced and board-certified emergency medicine physicians, ensuring that patients receive high-quality care from trained professionals.
• The freestanding emergency department will operate 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year, providing continuous access to emergency medical care whenever it is needed.
• The facility will offer specialised care for paediatric patients.
• The facility will be equipped with advanced diagnostic and radiology services, including mammography, ultrasound, CT scans, bone density scans, and plain X-rays. These services will aid in accurate and timely diagnosis and treatment..
• Provides convenient access, ensuring that they can receive high-quality treatment across a wide range of medical specialities as needed.
The construction of the new freestanding emergency department is anticipated to conclude in early 2025.
