Assignment of Treatment Areas by ED Flow Supervisor (Emergency Department Supervisor)

Triage

Clear ED triage rooms 1 & 2, re-route incoming patients to ambulance entrance (via signage or staff for 2 locations)
Set up Disaster Triage in ambulance entrance
Staff: ED Nurse, ED registration clerk
Assign all incoming patients a Zone based on acuity using disaster labels & record on Disaster Log (Red, Yellow, Green)

Red - Yellow - Green Zones

Re-label patient treatment rooms/areas with Zone room numbers
Assign incoming staff to room/patient assignments
Immediate Red Zone Needs: 1 (one) physician & 1 (one) RN/Zone, 2 (two) RT
Immediate Yellow Zone Needs: 1 (one) physician & 1 (one) RN
Immediate Green Zone Needs: 1 (one) physician & 1 (one) ED tech
Assign patients from Triage to rooms, & record on Zone Log their Disaster/MR number
Determine other staffing needs based on patient volume and acuity Determine equipment, supplies based on patient needs
Move stabilized patients to Staging Area for Admission or to the Discharge Unit

Staging Area

Re-label patient treatment rooms/areas with Zone room numbers
Assign incoming staff to room/patient assignments
Immediate Needs: 1 (one) physician and 1 (one) RN
Determine patients ability to be transferred as inpatient or discharge
Identify any extra staffing, equipment or supply needs

Clerk

Confirm admit-on-call and Nursing Supervisor is paged
Confirm three crash carts arrived from Materials Management
Confirm three (3) medication draws have arrived from pharmacy
Confirm ten (10) stretchers and ten (10) wheel chairs have arrived from Environmental Services
Place disaster signs in designated areas

Identify any extra staffing, equipment or supply needs

Morgue

Log all fatalities on Morgue Log sheet using the Disaster Identification Number.

Some standards that should be followed because they interact with other departmental/hospital plans:

The ED Attending assumes the role of the Emergency Treatment Director. Their role is to organize patient care, assign physician assignments, assess medical needs (decontamination) and communicate with the Incident Command the number of patients, acuity and disposition.
The Flow Supervisor assumes the role of the Emergency Department Supervisor. Their role is to assign zone leaders, help the Emergency Treatment Director in the organization of patient care, and communicate essential needs from each zone leader to the Emergency Treatment Director. They need to maintain a total census of every patient in the department and their disposition.
The Zone leaders (Red - Yellow - Green and Staging) are RNs (the Green leader can be an ED tech to help with RN staffing) - their role is assure the rooms are labeled, identify immediate and on going staffing and equipment needs, communicate the needs to the ED Supervisor (Charge RN), make staffing assignments and maintain a census for the zone. Their role is not patient care, but a "charge RN" for that zone.
The zones can represent acuity - highest (red) assigned the closer rooms, to low (green) assigned to the outpatient area for future evaluation.
The zones can be used to divide the volume of patients with similar acuity levels.
Zones can be ignored and "code teams" assigned for each acute patient (best done with a small number of patients - e.g., 4 critical patients from a house fire.
In Flu pandemic the zones can be assigned to the outpatient modules and teams of staff assigned to quickly decompress volume of non-acuity patients.
The Staging area is meant for patients awaiting discharge or admission and is generally in 1A. If this need does not exist that area should be utilized as an additional treatment area for disaster patients.
The proposed room assignments can be altered, but should be properly labeled to minimize confusion
These decisions are decided by the ED Treatment Director with the help of the ED Supervisor. Communication of the plan is key
