Baystate Medical Center is preparing for surge capacity related to COVID-19, with construction and readiness of a temporary Rapid Response Triage area directly outside the Emergency Department to accommodate anticipated patient care needs. The temporary structure, which is not open yet, is in the covered valet drop off/driveway area. It will serve as a rapid, initial screening venue to help identify those patients in most immediate need.
Dr. Niels Rathlev explains how the new Rapid Response Triage will meet demands expected during the COVID-19 pandemic.
