Marquette
General's Emergency Department
Upon arrival
each patient’s name and basic information is entered in the
computerized patient tracking system. Patients are triaged by a
registered nurse in a private triage room.
The Emergency
Department is managed by 9 emergency medicine specialists, the majority
of whom are board certified in Emergency
Medicine. The department is also staffed with physician assistants,
nurses and ancillary staff, who specialize in emergency care.
Computerized
patient tracking provides patient location and test status for all
emergency patients from any terminal in the Emergency Department.
In critical situations physicians can place orders while at the
patient’s bedside. Electronic documentation allows efficient
access to critical medical information. Patients are discharged
with easy to read electronic prescriptions and discharge instructions.
Emergency physicians
trained in hyperbaric medicine treat
patients with hyperbaric oxygen for a variety of problems, including
carbon monoxide poisoning, decompression sickness (the bends), and
problematic wounds. This is the only hyperbaric chamber north of
Milwaukee, WI.
The Emergency
Department connects to the rest of
the hospital campus on the third level, with easy access to the
Skywalk.
