Hi all,Our ED in Bella Bella is extremely small and filled (cluttered) with aging, sometimes broken equipment that isn't particularly well organized.
We are struggling with getting a modern cart-based point of care ultrasound machine to use - lots of back and forth on this with VCH but it seems like it is finally happening.I addition to getting a modern PoCUS machine, I am trying to advocate for an overall update to the ED, and have been tasked with putting together a list of asks. I've attached it to this post.
I'm struggling with making specific suggestions - all I really want is equity between the other VCH ER's and us so we can provide exceptional care everywhere.
Are there no resources that can help with standardization between departments?
My list is viewable here:
What are your thoughts on my list?

Thanks everyone for the responses - has been busy in Bella Bella recently so apologies for the delay in response.I would love to see a standardized baseline equipment list for emergency rooms/departments in the province of BC. I'm unsure what body would be best to generate such a list or if one already exists.
