Alta View Hospital expands emergency department

(Sandy Journal) A major expansion of the Alta View Hospital’s emergency department has been completed. The

department now has five additional patient care rooms (for a total of 25 patient rooms) and two new triage rooms. The expanded department now offers increased privacy for its patients. All of the patient bays that used to be open are now enclosed and larger than they used to be. More care processes are electronic — including patient tracking, nurse charting and ordering of labs and imaging.

“The expansion of our Emergency Department means we can provide better, more efficient and more comfortable care,” Becky Kapp Alta View Hospital’s administrator said. “Our emergency department is one of the busiest EDs in the state, and our staff is an experienced and well-trained group that’s ready to handle any emergency that comes through our doors. The expansion increases their ability to provide high-quality care to everyone who needs emergency care.”
