Fast-track Emergency Department
Traditionally, in an Emergency Department environment, patients with serious injuries and conditions are seen first, while those with minor injuries or illnesses often must wait. Now, at Mat-Su Regional, patients with minor conditions are separated from those with more serious situations. Upon patients’ arrival, the triage nurse determines whether they meet the criteria for urgent or emergent care. Patients with less critical needs will be treated faster in an environment similar to a physician’s office. This allows the Emergency Department staff to focus on those who actually need emergency care.
