Improving Patient Flow with Data-Driven Patient Prioritization Method in the Emergency Department

Improving Patient Flow with Data-Driven Patient Prioritization Method in the Emergency Department

We aim to improve the length-of-stay (LOS) of patients in the Emergency Department (ED) ambulatory care area. We propose the use of real-time computerized physician order entry data and ED patient flow management system to estimate the consultation time of patients re-entering the queue to consult a...
