Re: Largest ED in the US
It's in FL. We actually just opened up Sunday night. We went from a 44 bed ed (not including peds) to this huge one. The ratio is 4 to 1 for the nurses, except out trauma/critical care rooms where it's 2 to 1. Each pod contains 20 beds, 5 nurses, 2 techs, a resource nurse, and a transporter. The doc situation is still getting put together. The last 2 nights there have been with 4 to 6 docs, depending on the census. Last night we had 2 docs after 4 am. How does this compare with your ed?
I looked up Parkland in TX. They see almost 400 pts per day! Unreal!
