We also have a 4-bed Resuscitation Suite outfitted with state of the art equipment. Our ED has a dedicated Radiology Suite, which includes one CT Scanner, three Diagnostic Radiology rooms, and a Ultra Sound Suite . We have Pharmacists, Respiratory Therapists and Central Supply Technicians within our ED providing critical back up support for our ED patient care needs. Innovation is our key strategy which involves staff-driven change to promote continuous growth and improvement. Weve been implementing changes in our Emergency Department to streamline care which includes new processes in sorting patients for rapid care (not your traditional Fast Track Model). Bedside registration reduces chart and treatment delays, a plus for the busy nurse. We have point-of-care testing available for Troponin, chemistry and hematology, which reduces the time it takes to get a patient to the Cath Lab and improves the quality of care for chest pain patients. We use a computerized patient tracking system which provides visual cues for workflow, reduces the amount of time spent on documentation and streamlines the admission patient processes for our Nursing staff. Your career at Cape Fear Valley ED offers advancement opportunities with a comprehensive Clinical Ladder Advancement program and other training opportunities that can lead to advanced certification. You will be joining a diverse talented team supporting the advancement of professional nursing practice in the emergency setting.
