(Times of Israel) Nathan Jeffay - An 8,000-square-meter emergency room opened in Israel on Thursday at Tel Aviv Sourasky Medical Center (Ichilov), named after Canadian-Israeli philanthropist Sylvan Adams, who said the ER was the largest in world. The facility has 100 inpatient emergency beds, which can be doubled in an emergency scenario. At the high-tech facility, patients who are well enough will check themselves in and then move to "self-triage," where automated systems will check their temperature, blood pressure, pulse, and blood oxygen saturation. If patients are at high risk, staff will be alerted immediately. Mobile robots will help patients find the department they need, and an app will tell them exactly what is happening with their tests, results, and treatment.
