It will be a wireless, paperless environment which will be the first in Vancouver Coastal Health.

It will be much more efficient for people to move through.

We have standard staff-to-patient ratios and as the need increases. If the volume doesn't change, why would we increase the staff?

We know we have a challenge in emergency. There's no question.

I think this is a very special community and our foundation has never raised this much money in such a short period of time and I think it's a real community commitment and really a desire to have a much better emergency department, so it's a wonderful story.

It will make what we hope will be a much more aesthetic, neighborhood-friendly environment. People kept saying to us, we love our neighborhoods, we don't want them to be any different. On the other hand, you have to have growth.
