The measures taken by the management of the CHR
To cope with the strains of emergency services, with in particular the many sick leaves in Bel-Air, the management of CHR Metz-Thionville has taken steps to welcome or refer patients to the appropriate services. Philippe Alarcon, head of the emergency department, and David Larivière, interim director general, describe these measures in detail.
1. In Thionville, Smur will only take care of vital emergencies. He is also setting up a teleconsultation center run by a doctor and a nurse.
2. Philippe Alarcon appeals to the common sense of the population: “We are in a very difficult situation, the emergency room doctors only take into account serious cases. Management hopes to reopen the service in the middle of next week.
3. The Mercy hospital teams in Metz will be strengthened: “Two more doctors during the day and one more at night. »
4. Strengthening of dispatch center teams (15) to ensure call management and distribution of patients to the competent hospital centers in the area.
