Referral Expectations

On arrival at the Emergency Department, the patient may expect to undergo a brief triage or screening to determine the nature and severity of the illness or injury. On the basis of this assessment, those with more severe symptoms or injuries are treated before those with less serious conditions.

After the initial assessment and treatment, patients may be admitted to the hospital, transferred to another hospital or discharged.
