Highlights of the Methodist Dallas Emergency Department
At Methodist Dallas, our team is committed to providing you with the most
advanced emergency care. Our updated ED features updated equipment and
technology.
When you visit us, you’ll find:
-
Spacious facilities: We designed our emergency department with more space to easily accommodate
more hospital staff, patients, and families. Patient rooms are configured
to allow for better staff coverage and collaboration.
-
Innovative technology: Our facility features a dedicated CT room, two radiology rooms, and portable
digital X-ray equipment that we bring directly to the bedside.
-
Enhanced patient safety: Both the intensive care and critical care units have low nurse-to-patient
ratios, allowing nurses to devote more energy to their patients. The ED
waiting room and trauma area both have negative air pressurization to
limit the spread of airborne illnesses. Our infection control practices
surpass industry standards.
-
Focus on comfort: Our private patient rooms are filled with mood-boosting natural light
to promote healing. Glass partitions throughout the units help minimize
sound for patients who are resting while still allowing clinical staff
to monitor patients.
G60 – Geriatric Trauma Program
At Methodist Dallas Medical Center, we’re committed to addressing
the unique emergency care needs of our older patients. That’s why
we developed G60, our Geriatric Trauma Program.
Older adults are often at greater risk for additional injuries or falls
while in the hospital. The G60 program provides older patients with tailored
care that includes:
- Compassionate staff members who are specially trained to meet the needs
of patients over age 60
- Slip-resistant floors
- Beds that are lower to the ground for safety
- Decreased noise and activity levels
- Reduced exposure to infectious diseases
Compassionate Care for Victims of Sexual Assault
We understand that this is a traumatic time. Through our
Sexual Assault Nurse Examiners (SANE) Program, we offer discreet care and support to adolescents and adults who have
been victims of sexual assault.
Our certified sexual assault nurse examiners are knowledgeable and compassionate.
They have received advanced education and specialized instruction in medical
forensic examination and in psychological and emotional trauma.
