Emergency Medicine

The Radutzky Emergency Department is a Level I Trauma Center that provides quality care 24
hours a day, 7 days a week.  It is staffed by Board Certified Attending physicians and a team of
specially trained, skilled nurses and ancillary staff.  With its open-space concept, up-to-the minute
technology and fast response time, this ER is one of the busiest in the city with almost 100,000
visits a year.

Key features of our Emergency Department include:

• Streamline traffic flow and ensures that patients are more quickly and precisely directed for the appropriate level of care, whether that is an operating room or a hospital bed.
• Shifts increasingly away from the primary care so common in inner-city emergency rooms and toward the critical care that represents true emergencies.
• Functions as an open space, better enabling physicians and nurses to more closely monitor patients.
• Utilizes the most modern equipment, such as a new CT scan and ancillary services including filmless radiology.
• Uniquely allow physicians outside the Brookdale ED to link through the internet on a personal computer for radiology, EKG or other patient readings.
