On Wednesday, May 19, MemorialCare’s Long Beach Medical Center and Miller Children’s & Women’s Hospital Long Beach completed a $2.1 million year-long project to renovate the Emergency Department and upgrade the department’s “Fast Track” triage area to an enhanced “Super Track” with the ultimate goal of decreasing wait times and improving the patient experience.
The Super Track was designed to have low-acuity patients closer to the Emergency Department entrance, while high-acuity patients are treated closer to the elevators leading to patient rooms, should they need to be admitted. This design facilitates a “one-way system,” providing patients with enhanced privacy and more effective workflow for staff. It also offers private rooms for added comfort and privacy.
