AHMC Anaheim Regional Medical is committed to providing excellent health
services and medical care to our patients and our community. As part of
this commitment, we are extending the Emergency Department (ED) services
to include a new ED Fast Track area where patients with simple illness
or injury receive prompt care, treatment and services.
The new ED FasTrack will provide additional treatment space for our patients
and allow us to see patients promptly during the busiest times of the
day. The ED Fast Track area is staffed with emergency medical professionals
that include physicians, nurse practitioners (NP), nurses and other supportive
team members. Patients with less urgent medical needs can be treated in
the ED FasTrack area. These needs include:
- cough
- sore throat
- back pain
- lacerations
- bites
- stings
- allergic reactions
- urinary tract Infection
- rashes
- suture removal
- wound checks
- prescription refills
All patients are triaged by a Registered Nurse, then assigned to the appropriate
treatment area based upon their presenting condition. All patients are
evaluated by a medical professional and care provided based on the medical
needs of the patient.
The ED FasTrack will allow us to promptly treat patients with minor concerns
while allowing the space in the main Emergency Department to be used for
more acutely ill patients. An additional benefit of the FasTrack program
is decreased wait times for all patients seeking care.
We are excited about opening our new ED FasTrack which will allow us to
continue to deliver compassionate, high quality of care and services to
our patients at all times. Look for our new ED Fast Track at the end of
January 2015!
