The Emergency Room

The McCormick Center for Advanced Emergency Response, which operates daily as a standard emergency facility, is designed to help Rush provide high-quality emergency care and to improve the patient experience during a trying time.

The center includes the following features to make it quicker and easier for patients to reach the center and receive care:

  • A larger, more pleasant waiting area and a separate waiting room for pediatric patients and their families.
  • 60 treatment rooms compared to 34 in the current emergency department and two triage beds, compared to one.
  • Temporary parking, along with a driveway for patient arrivals that's separate from the ambulance bay.
  • Larger patient rooms, equipped with televisions
  • Advanced diagnostic equipment
  • A cardiac monitor in every room and ultrasound capability in each of three treatment pods. Radiology will be located in a fourth pod to reduce wait times for diagnostic imaging.
