ED management : the monthly update on emergency department management
-
An internally developed 'smart card' and a kiosk equipped with an electronic reader have helped Wellington (FL) Regional Medical Center speed up its triage process considerably. The new technology is extremely popular with the staff, as well as with the patients. ⋯ It automatically "populates" their computer screen. Security is maintained, because the information is stored in a database, and not on the card.
