Technology in the Emergency Department at Alexian Emergency Care

Alexian's emergency departments offer cutting-edge technologies that speed the delivery of quality care. These include:

• Heart catheterization lab, where a physician inserts a thin plastic tube into an artery or vein in the arm or leg to quickly evaluate how well the heart is performing
• Imaging services, such as x-ray and MRI
• Electrocardiogram, which records the heart's electrical activity 
• CT Scan for rapid diagnosis of stroke to rule out intra-cranial hemorrhage (ICH)
• Electronic documentation
