Watch out for these warning signs

Rapid assessment, stabilization and treatment are essential when patients need emergency care. The main goal is to quickly address the immediate health issue to stabilize the patient, relieve pain and prevent further complications. When medical attention is urgently needed, minutes – even seconds – matter. That’s why we know it’s important that our state-of-the-art facilities are located close to where our patients live. It’s important that we offer little to no waiting time when patients walk through our doors. It’s important that they know they’ll receive empathetic care from our expert medical teams. And because accidents, injuries and illnesses can occur at any hour of any day, it’s important that we’re open 24/7, 365 days a year. Most of all, we know you are important, and we’ll do everything we can to help you heal. #EmergencyCare #Patients

🏠 What can you do at home before you come to your appointment? 🤔 This largely depends on the nature of your injury, but there are a few rules of thumb for minor emergencies: 👉 Sprain or fracture means you should follow the RICE method. Rest, apply Ice and Compression, and Elevate the area while you wait for your appointment. 👉 Bleeding wounds require you to stop the bleeding by applying pressure to the wound with a clean cloth or gauze to stem the flow of blood. Also, try and keep the laceration from becoming larger by holding the edges together. 🧑⚕️ In any medical situation, it’s best to ask our medical staff at Neighborhood Medical Center for recommendations on how to care for your injury until you can be seen by the doctor. 🩺 🗓 Book your appointment with us today! https://lnkd.in/gbcv4zu8 #wellness #health #neighborhoodmedical #neighborhoodmedicalcenter #medicalcenter #dallas #texas #urgentcare #minoremergencies

Many rural hospitals do not have the capacity to accommodate patient surge. Lack of on-site capabilities to treat very ill patients may require transferring patients which can be difficult if transportation is limited or unavailable. ASPR TRACIE met with three health care professionals from California to discuss how they managed their individual facilities’ responses. The health care professionals also worked with hospital staff in rural Imperial County to help augment capacity and accommodate patient surge.
