Optimizing your ED to deal with mass disasters can also help make your current patients comfortable. Here are some changes instituted at Washington (DC) Hospital Center as part of its "Bridge to ER One" initiative: Patient rooms are oversized so that in a disaster they will be able to accommodate two patients. "ER One" rooms each have a shower and toilet, to avoid the contamination spread of common facilities. Rubber floors reduce stress and fatigue for staff members and ambulatory patients.
优化急诊科以应对大规模灾难也有助于让当前患者感到舒适。以下是华盛顿特区医院中心在其“通往急诊一号的桥梁”倡议中所做的一些改变：病房面积超大，以便在灾难发生时能够容纳两名患者。“急诊一号”病房都配有淋浴间和卫生间，以避免共用设施造成污染传播。橡胶地板减轻了工作人员和能走动的患者的压力与疲劳。
