Our Mission...
To provide care of the ill or injured patient in a competent and caring manner, to conduct research into emergency conditions in order to improve our care of patients, and to train physicians, nurses, and other health professionals in emergency care.
Message from the Chairman:
The Department of Emergency Medicine at Cleveland Clinic is a full service emergency department with particular expertise in a variety of acute medical conditions. The department sees about 58,000 adult and pediatric patients per year and is staffed by specialists in emergency medicine.
In addition to the main emergency department, we run an urgent care area with emergency physicians and pediatricians. The urgent care area is open from 10 a.m. to 11 p.m. each day.
The Department is a leader in the use of an ED-based observation unit for the evaluation and treatment of patients with conditions that require more extended testing or treatment than can be done in the emergency department. We have pioneered the use of the observation unit for the management of heart failure.
In addition, many patients presenting with chest pain are successfully evaluated in our department. The unit has shown to be an effective means of treating patients with asthma, cellulites and pneumonia, along with other conditions.
We have a burgeoning research program that includes studies in acute asthma, decompensated heart failure, pediatric and geriatric emergencies, and acute coronary syndromes.
The department offers a means of expediting the treatment for patients referred by the institution’s Nurse on Call system or by a CCF physician. This program allows for expedited service for those patients who have been through that process. Anyone can use this service. Those patients who have a Cleveland Clinic physician should contact their physician. Patients who do not have a Cleveland Clinic physician can access this service through Cleveland Clinic's Nurse on Call System at 216.444.1234.
If you have any questions, comments, or suggestions please feel free to contact 216.445.4550.
