    Space, staff key concerns in ED surge capacity plans.

    • ED Manag. 2004 Oct 1;16(10):112-3.

    AbstractAs the community's front door, the ED is the first to feel the impact of a sudden influx of patients following a disaster. Make sure you have a plan in place to use unconventional space, such as the cafeteria, should the need arise. Adjusting your triage protocols and canceling elective surgeries can free additional space. Know ahead of time which doctors and nurses will be available if the need arises for additional staff.
