I don't think the volume will change much, but the turnaround time sure will.

Instead of us waiting for an ambulance in the field because they're stranded in a no-bed-having ER, the patient can wait in an ER bed for a scheduled transport. Sounds like a winner to me.

I mean, this thing will be 12-14 beds total. In a busy area. Has to alleviate some issues, but probably going to cause a new one we haven’t thought of

Oh, no doubt! But having those beds will at least give us a safe place to put people that isn't a hallway. I wonder how they're gonna staff it tho 🤔
