2010 Healthcare Benchmarks: Emergency Room Throughput
Healthcare Intelligence Network, March 2010, Pages: 13
Emergency department (ED) overcrowding hinders the delivery of emergent care across the nation. In California alone, 90 percent of the state's emergency facilities experience overcrowding. An ED's overcrowding can create a myriad of problems - from an increase in wait times to a decline in the quality of care being given to patients in need to a spike in utilization costs.
How prevalent are programs to manage ED throughput, and what kind of results are they achieving? What are the factors contributing to overcrowding, and what are the most successful strategies for reducing ED overcrowding?
2010 Healthcare Benchmarks: Emergency Room Throughput provides actionable information from 73 healthcare organizations on how they are responding to ED overcrowding and its effect on their organizations. This 13-page resource documents trends and metrics from existing ED management programs.
