15-Minute ER Guarantee
"When you need an emergency room, you don't want a waiting room."
Every Second Counts
Toppenish Community Hospital is home of the region’s only 15-minute ER guarantee, which means patients will be assessed and triaged within 15 minutes of entering the ER. Time can make the critical difference when saving lives, and the first 30 minutes are often the key, and at Toppenish Community Hospital we want to ensure that patients receive appropriate and timely care.
Toppenish Community Hospital’s secure emergency department design supports the separation of critically ill patients from those requiring urgent or minor injury care by providing two separate entrances; one for patients arriving on foot, and one for EMS ambulances, rescue and paramedics delivering patients. This makes it easier for everyone to get the care they need as quickly and efficiently as possible.
The Fast Track
Toppenish Community Hospital's ER makes every second count, with “fast track” rooms where patients who require less acute care can be treated efficiently. Fast Track patients include those who have cold or flu symptoms, migraine headaches, small cuts, and other medical problems that are not considered critical. By having a specially designated, fully staffed Fast Track area, less serious patients can be seen and treated more quickly.
Convenient, Quality Care
We offer bedside registration, which allows patients more privacy and can expedite the ER process. Our newly remodeled ER has:
· Level IV trauma center
· 8 ER beds with 3 Fast Track beds
· Multi-functional treatment rooms for patients with various conditions
(Trauma, ENT, OB/Gyn, Ortho)
· BLS/ACLS/PALS/TNCC trained nursing staff
· Family practice and board certified emergency room physicians in house 24 hours a day
· Nurse practitioner and physician assistant coverage during peak hours
all featuring bedside computers. All of the equipment in the ER is state of the art, allowing even the most severely injured patients to be stabilized.
