Services
The main function of an emergency department, or ER, is to treat patients who are suffering from an acute serious illness or injury that would lead to severe complications if not treated quickly. The ER is not designed to provide ongoing care. Patients requiring urgent attention will always be seen first. Most emergency departments are very busy and treat thousands of patients each year. Patients are treated in order of medical urgency, not necessarily in order of arrival. Care is delivered to all patients regardless of culture, beliefs, conscientious convictions, sexual orientation or disability and privacy will be respected at all times. To ensure the sickest patients are seen first, a sorting mechanism called triage (to sort) is used to categorise patients. Triage is performed by an experienced triage nurse and occurs very soon after arrival.
