ED Manag. 2008 Jun;20(6):63-4.
Advance preparation can make a big difference in how your department responds to emergencies, as demonstrated by the ED at Caritas Norwood (MA) Hospital in the wake of a recent train wreck. Here are some actions taken in advance that help facilitate a successful response: Their disaster plan included the immediate availability of nurses who were working on other floors. A day surgery area had been designated to handle patient overflow and provided 20 additional beds. A designated conference room for family members helped make them comfortable while keeping them out of the hectic ED area.
提前准备会对你所在部门应对紧急情况的方式产生重大影响，马萨诸塞州诺伍德慈善医院急诊科在最近一次火车事故后的表现就证明了这一点。以下是一些提前采取的有助于成功应对的行动：他们的灾难计划包括立即调配在其他楼层工作的护士。指定了一个日间手术区域来处理患者溢出问题，并额外提供了20张床位。为家属指定了一个会议室，让他们感到舒适，同时让他们远离繁忙的急诊科区域。
